I don't know exactly what's right, but I don't think one should celebrate anybody's birthday. If anything a child should be gently reminded to thank Allah on that day for giving him life. With a teen you can remind them of death perhaps? Throughout the year a child should get good gifts, not just on his birthday. The only birthday I think should be celebrated is the real birth day that happens once in a lifetime. As I say, this isn't scholarly, just expressing opinions. Allahu 'alam.

Wassalam.
