From the standpoint of feeling weird if parents give to us and we don't give to them we have to look at the reality that we are providing a service. Just as you would buy a little something or give a nice card to your child's school teacher, or their bus driver, or your hairdresser, etc. we are often viewed as being in the service industry.
The school teacher or bus driver doesn't give a gift back. They might do a kind gesture and pass out candy canes but it is just that a kind gesture.
Parents give us a gift, special card, etc. as a thank you to show that they appreciate us. I would like to think that the children and parents appreciate what I do every day for the children and that I have shown all year by the little treats, special activities etc. that I have done that adds up to a gift.
