Part of the joy of the season is reminiscing about what makes your family unique. Ask your parents and grandparents about their holiday customs growing up or what they received as gifts when they were kids. Celebrate what makes you family, especially the silly or quirky traditions. Sharing stories, traditions, and values defines your family and is a great gift to each other that costs a fortune.

It’s easy for children to be smitten with the magic of the holidays. Fun presents. Extra sweets. A vacation from school—there’s a lot to like. It’s a fun and joyous time but also a very busy one. During the holidays, there are plenty of activities and events going on, travelling, visiting family. And while that can be a good thing, the reality is that all that means schedules are often out of whack, bedtimes get pushed back, and routines are disrupted. As a result, it’s inevitable that kids may feel some degree of holiday stress. Here are some tips to keep kids happy and ready to enjoy whatever the season brings.
1. Gifts: Getting presents is a high point of the holidays for any kid, but they shouldn’t be the only focus. Giving presents can be just as rewarding as getting them. Younger kids can make one, or help you pick out something. Volunteering or participating in a local toy drive are all great ideas for getting children in a more generous mood.
2. Let them help: Kids love to help their parents, especially if they get lots of praise for being responsible and helpful.
3. Keep routines: We love the holidays because they give us a break from the everyday, but that can also be stressful, especially for kids who find routine comforting.
4. Schedule some quiet time and remember - they’re kids: Find a quiet corner and read a book with your child or create holiday arts and crafts. Take a walk outside in nature, away from noise and crowds and obligations.
5.Healthy snacks and meals:

Renting a Christmas tree that can then be replanted can be a pretty sustainable option for the holiday.

Simple and yet delicious. Sunny side up eggs have to be one of the simplest foods to cook and you can literally add an egg to anything. Eggs are a great contributor of essential nutrients to a child’s healthy development. Not only are they packed with vitamins and minerals but they also provide a good source of protein, choline, and essential fatty acids. Hard-boiled eggs or scrambled eggs make great finger food as they are easily cut into bite-sized pieces. Caution: The CDC suggests that if runny eggs are to be offered to kids, it should not be before the age of 5 (since children under 5 have a higher risk of food-borne illnesses), and the eggs should be cooked using pasteurized eggs only.

Bedtime story and the many benefits reading to your child.... When children are young, they are constantly absorbing the information around them. Every word they hear, facial expression they see, and sensation they feel fosters their development. 📖 A great way to further their development is to provide them with exposure to rich language by regularly reading to them.🎓 To read the blog post, please chick the link in our bio.
