TIPS: Christmas is magical for kids of every age. To minimize the stress your child can also experience, keep in mind these tips:
- Tell young children in advance what to expect at holiday events.
- Reconnect with holiday traditions. They form many of our warmest memories.
- Beware of toy overload. (Put some aside to be brought out at a later date.)
- Don't push kids too far out of their comfort zones. Forcing them to "perform" in front of guests or to kiss people they don't know can backfire.
- Give kids opportunities to do nice things for others.
