Christmas can be a holiday of two halves magic and meltdowns...Here's how to avoid the latter.
When you’re the parent of small children, Christmas can be a holiday of two halves. On the one hand, there’s the magic: the twinkling lights, joyful carols, Santa Clause. On the other hand, there's the meltdown-inducing sensory overload of the season...
‘That’s when the second rule of Christmas comes in,’ says Rebecca. ‘Make informed choices! If you know that your baby thrives on routine and that doing too much will make them out-of-sorts, you have to make a choice about what you do.
‘Talking to your toddler about what’s going to happen helps them to feel in control,’ says Rebecca. ‘That makes them feel more relaxed about all the new experiences ahead of them – because they know that this is what’s meant to be happening.’ ‘The other factor that makes transitions hard is that, for toddlers, they are an opportunity to test the boundaries,’ says Rebecca.‘ This is a developmental stage when youngsters want to assert their autonomy. The perfect way to do that is to say no when they’re asked to do something.
