Aʻo nā mākua mālama a mālama aloha hoʻi e hana i nā mea a pau e hoʻomaha ai i kēia hoʻomaha no kekahi manawa lōʻihi, no ka mea, i ka wā e hilinaʻi ana ke keiki i kahi moʻolelo haʻi moʻolelo, e noho mau anaʻo ia i kona wā liʻiliʻi.
ʻO ka māka kūpono o ka makahiki hou he mau makana. Hāʻawi like nā makana i nā keiki a me nā keiki liʻiliʻi, a me nā'ōpio, aʻo ia, he poʻe mākua mākou. No laila, pono e hele kokoke mai i nā makana i nā mea koho a pau, kahi makana i kūʻai kokeʻia,ʻaʻole paha e mahaloʻia. No laila, ma mua o kou hoʻomakaʻana e kūʻai i nā makana no nā haumāna, ponoʻoe e noʻonoʻo i nā mea a pau:ʻo ka nui āu e loaʻa ai,ʻo ka makahiki o nā keiki. I ke kohoʻana i nā makana, ponoʻoe e nānā pono i ka maikaʻi o nā waiwai, i nā mea i hanaʻia no ka manawa kūpono, i ke kiʻekiʻe o ka palekana.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, e maʻalahi ka kohoʻana i kahi makana i nā haumāna'ōpio, no ka mea e hoʻolāʻihi ana lākou i nā manawa me nā mea pāʻani, e ola ana nā hoʻomanaʻo mai ke kula kiʻekiʻe. Heʻoi aku ka paʻakikī e hāʻawi i nā makana no nā haumāna o ke kula kiʻekiʻe,ʻo ka nui o ko lākou makemake e hele kokoke ana i nā mākua. Aʻo ka mea nui o nā makana, i hanaʻia ma nā hui o nā keiki - pono like lākou, hoʻokahi wale nō mea, hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale i nā makana iʻelua hui: no nā keikikāne a me nā kaikamahine.
No laila e ho'āʻo e pane i ka nīnau e pili ana i nā mea e hāʻawi aku i nā keiki i ke kula no ka makahiki hou:
1-4 mau māka.
I kēia makahiki, makemake nui nā keiki i ka pāʻaniʻana i nā pāʻani a me nā pāʻani likeʻole. No laila, ma keʻano he makana i kēlā me kēia makahiki, hiki ke hāʻawiʻia nā pāʻani papa pāʻani (nui loa ka nui o nā mea, hiki i nā mākua ke koho pono i ka koho kūpono, a kūpono hoʻi i nā keikikāne a me nā kaikamāhine, a ma waho aʻe o kēlā mau pāʻani e kōkua i ka mālamaʻana i kekahi mau mea kula) no ka hoʻolālāʻana (heʻano nui nō hoʻi i nā hale kūʻai, ma ke kumukūʻai a me ka maikaʻi,ʻo nā keiki i kēia mau makahiki ke hauʻoli loa i ka hana me ko lākou lima iho,ʻo iaʻano makana e paipai i kona makemake no ke kūʻokoʻa a me ka holomua maikaʻi i kaʻoihana),ʻaʻole hoʻokahi keiki o kēia ao i haʻalele i ka mea pāʻani. Nui nā keiki i kēia mau makahiki e makemake nei e loaʻa ka makana o nā mea hana, nā pīpī, nā kaʻa.
4-9 puka
No kēia maʻamau o ka makahiki, eʻoi aʻe ka paʻakikī e hoʻoholo i ka kohoʻana i nā makana. Me he mea lā ua haʻalele'ē lākou i nā mea'ē aʻe, akā ua noho mau lākou. Hiki i kēia pūʻulu puke ke hāʻawi i nā puke, aʻo nā puke liʻiliʻi hou e hāʻawi aku i kahi koho maikaʻi loa o nā puke makana, hiki iā lākou ke kākau i nā puke mai ka papahana o nā puke moʻolelo o nā keiki, a me ka papahana lapaʻau kaulana, i hiki ke lilo i mea e pono ai no ka heluhelu a me ka hoʻomākaukauʻana no nā papa. Ma keʻano he makana, hiki iāʻoe ke hāʻawi i nā CD me ka hoʻolālāʻana i nā pāʻani a me nā polokalamu. ʻOiai he makana, kahi wili lima lima, nā kaulahao kaula, a me nā leka uila hiki ke hana. ʻO ke kumu nui loa he makana i loko o keʻano o kahi T-shirt me ka hua'ōlelo a me ka hōʻailona o ka papa, hiki i nā mākua ke hoʻonohonoho iā lākou,ʻoiai ke hāʻawi nei kēia makana i nā hoaaloha a me nā hui nui e hoʻolimalima ana i ka manawa lōʻihi e like me keʻano i nā huahana. ʻOiai he koho, hiki iāʻoe ke noʻonoʻo a me ke kaʻa a me nā kiʻi kiʻi. Hiki i nā mea makemakeʻia ke hoʻonohonoho i nā'ōlohelohe o nā keiki a me nā meaʻala (aia nā koho no nā keikikāne a me nā kaikamāhine).
10-11 papa
ʻO ka māhele koʻikoʻi e pili ana i ke kohoʻana i kahi makana kaulike. ʻO nā kamaliʻi o ka poʻe'ōpiopio,ʻoiai, he 10 mau makahiki,ʻo nā mākua o ka mea a lākou i hāʻawiʻole ai a he mea paʻakikī paha e kāhāhā ai iā lākou me kekahi mea. Pono nā mākua e hōʻike i kaʻikeʻole a me keʻano hoihoi. Ma keʻano he makana, hiki iāʻoe ke hāʻawi i nā mea hoʻolālā pilikino e ho'āla ai i kāu mea nona ka inoa, ma ke koho he hiki iāʻoe ke noʻonoʻo i ka holoʻana ma o ka papa holoʻokoʻa no kahi huakaʻi, hiki ke hāʻawiʻia kēia makana i ka manawa pono no nā lā hoʻokele. Hiki ke kohoʻia me ka hoʻolaha nui i nā lawelawe kaiāulu o kēia manawa, hiki iāʻoe ke koho i nā lā koho hoʻokahi,ʻuʻuku, a me nā lā-nui,ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.
Eia naʻe kekahi mau makana e pili ana i kēlā me kēia hui o nā keiki kula. No laila, e noʻonoʻo ana hiki iāʻoe ke hoʻolohe i ka hāʻawiʻana i nā keiki i ke kula no ka makahiki hou. ʻO kēia, he laʻana, nā lako hana a ke kula aiʻole mea hana pepa. E like me nā makana, nā peni aloha, nā puke kiko'ī, a me nā kiʻi unuhi (hiki ke hanaʻia e ka mea hana a i hōʻiliʻiliʻia e nā mākua pono'ī, e hoʻohana maikaʻiʻia e komo i nā leʻaleʻaʻole, nā penikala, gels, pepa) nā mele, nā pakuhi. No kēlā me kēia hui makahiki he makana kūpono i keʻano o kahi mea hoʻomanaʻo o ka makahiki hou, ka hoʻoholoʻana e like like me kēia makana iāʻoe, he meaʻike wale nō ia, a he puawai puaʻa. ʻO kekahi makana honua a pau he makanaʻoluʻolu,ʻaʻole e hōʻole nā keiki he nui mai nā leʻaleʻa no ka makahiki. Maʻaneʻi hiki i nā mākua ke hōʻikeʻole i ke kūlana kūʻokoʻa a me ka hāʻawiʻana i nā makaleka tileka e like me nā makanaʻoluʻolu, i kēia manawa ua nui nā kamupene i ka poʻe kūʻai kūʻai i ka nui a me ka nani o ia mau huahana. Hiki i kahi meaʻono ke hana i nā muffins a me nā pōpō e like me keʻano o nā kiʻina o ka New Year, a me nā meaʻono i nā pipi a me nā kīʻaha. ʻO ka loina kahiko i hoʻonohonohoʻia me kahi kūlana chocolates, kalekaleka, a me nā hua e pili pū ana hoʻi a me ka noi.
Hiki ke hoʻololiʻia kekahi mauʻano likeʻole o nā makana mai kekahi hui inā makemakeʻia, no ka mea,ʻo ka māheleʻana o nā makana e like me nā koho o nā makahiki he paʻakikī ia, nui ke kumu o ka hoʻomohalaʻana o nā keiki a me nā mea hana o nā mākua.
ʻO nā makana no ka makahiki hou he kuʻunaʻano mālie a maikaʻi, aʻo ka mea nui loa,ʻo ia ka manaʻo e uku i kāu mau keiki. ʻO nā makana he maikaʻi maikaʻi no nā keiki wale nō, akā no nā mākua.
