Should I give a gift to my son after his play?

My son is performing in a play this week. He will have 4 shows. Two are during the day for other school children and two are at night. He is 11 1/2. Am I supposed to give him a gift after his performance? If so, which one and what do I give him? In the past when my daughter had ballet recitals, I gave her flowers.

I would suggest taking him out to dinner after the final performance and express how wonderful he was in the play. Point out all of the scenes in which he excelled and tell him about things that you liked that he did. Any encouragement would be fabulous for any child and it will help him to be more open and willing to try new things if he feels like you approve of what he does.
Reply:I'm just gona say it as simple as possible... yes! Take him to get ice cream, take him to get a video game or movie, I dont know just go freakin crazy with it.
Reply:my mom sent me balloons back stage for my performances when i was 13 and i appreciated it.
Reply:yes
Reply:I am not sure that he will enjoy flowers but maybe take him and a friend out for ice cream after his last performance. I always enjoy doing something to celebrate something that I spent a long time on. Hope that he does good!!
Reply:You dont have to get him a gift. If you do maybe take him shopping for something he may like or just take him to dinner. You could give him a card with encouraging words and have all of your family sign it. Me and my friends did that to my other friend. She enjoyed it alot and then we went to a movie and dinner. Wish him good luck before the show and good job after.

Hope this helps.
Reply:If you have given something to your daughter in the past it is a good idea to give something to your son. Maybe even a box of chocolate or something little that he will enjoy. Don't go all out, it just wouldn't be the right moment. Maybe take him out for dinner, something that he would enjoy. Make sure to give him alot of praise for being in the play.
Reply:i suppose u could take him out to eat @ his favorite restaurant. Or take a pic of one of his scenes that people enjoyed or a picture of him surrounded by all of the outer actors and actresses. Then frame it and give it to him as a gift to remember his special night. You could even decorate the frame with stuff you could get at a crafts store. i dunno... just an idea...

Hope you find what you are looking for.....:)
