Find Opportunities to Bond

Ask them what their favorite part of the holiday season is, and then create activities for them related to that. For example, if they love Christmas music, listen together or sing together. If they love chocolate, make chocolates or bake sugar cookies. If they love dressing up, go pick out an outfit together.

Encourage Independence

Allow them to help you with tasks like baking gingerbread men or decorating their room for Christmas. You’ll be spending time together, and you’ll be teaching them a valuable life skill at the same time!

Reminisce

Reminiscing can actually make you happier, so take a moment to look through old photo albums or talk about your favorite Christmas memories. It will help keep up your spirits during the busy holiday season.

Bake Holiday Treats

Baking together is a great way to bond with your kids, and you’ll have delicious treats for the whole family when you’re done. Pinterest is an excellent resource for finding the best holiday treats to bake with kids.

What do you do with kids during the holidays?

Create experiences. If your child loves chocolate, buy some together and create sugar cookies together. If your child loves Christmas music, play some during the holidays and sing along. Tell them about your memories of past holiday seasons.

Reading articles like this one can be helpful for parents who are experiencing stress during the busy holiday months.  It is important to take care of yourself as well as others, so taking time to bond with your kids and keep yourself in good spirits is very important.
