Create Positive Memories
Holidays hold a special place in a child’s heart - they often become the moments recalled most vividly as adults. By focusing on creating joyful memories, you provide your children with a sense of stability and happiness.
While the holidays can be exciting, they can also be emotionally complex. Children may be processing changes in family dynamics, managing two households, dealing with split schedules or picking up tensions between parents and feeling caught in between. Make it a point to create an atmosphere of warmth, inclusion, and togetherness so your children look forward to the holidays rather than dread them.
