Surviving Holiday Gatherings with Children

Helping your kids be at their best and have fun too!

Kids that are anxious and easily frustrated can present challenges at gatherings and get-togethers.

Here are some tips to help everyone have a great time:

Set Behavior Expectations: Have a chat with them about behavior expectations. Knowing what the rules are is always helpful.
Communicate with the Host: If your child has frequent behavior difficulties, giving fair warning to the host and sharing a few words on ways to handle misbehaving might be in order. If they don't believe in the disorders, this isn't the time to debate that issue; your intention here is to avoid unnecessary criticizing.
Plan for Quiet Time: For kids that are highly sensitive to noise and crowds, try to plan for a quiet place in advance for them to escape and take a break if things become too intense or overwhelming.
Keep Them Occupied: Plan some fun games and activities to keep them entertained.
Consider the Menu: Let kids know if there's going to be a lot of different foods. If possible, bring along things they like to eat and don't make exploring new foods the most important thing.
Positive Reinforcement: Catch them being good and praise them for it throughout the day.

Relax, have some fun, and enjoy the holiday.

May the 4th be with you!
