I think that question is a conversation stopper because those who do not have children who not feel qualify and those that do have children know what a complex and tricky question it is. Personally I don’t think there is a method that fits all children and all relationships with them. But… You might try activities rather than presents. ‘Oh cool, uncle is gone to make a video with us and we’re going to do it at the zoo.’ If you get the right activity (depends on child), they will remember it and what you did and said for years. I had a uncle that I only saw a few times but he showed me how to make and throw a bomerang. He explained why it returned. I have thanked him for that day for 60 years.

I don’t have children and I didn’t try answering the question because I knew what a complex and tricky question it is—I don’t expect it to be much different than the bigger question of how to improve human rationality for people in general.
