Let’s Talk About the Holidays
The holiday season reminds us to find joy in everyday moments: family meals, lullabies, and the simple act of spending time together, even when we may physically be apart. Talking to kids about the holidays can involve setting realistic expectations, fostering gratitude, and creating, or discussing, family traditions. Using open-ended questions about their wishes, involving them in planning, and emphasizing experiences over material gifts to reduce stress and boost joy.
