Watching my child begin to understand and enjoy the holidays is such a joy. I feel like a kid again and can feel myself getting swept up in it all. Experiencing all the holiday hoopla with a toddler can seem daunting too, trying to balance nap schedules with parties, guests and travel.
There are lots of tips for enjoying holiday gatherings, and suggestions for travelling with a toddler that can help make the holidays go a bit more smoothly for everyone.
A few of my favorites that I will try to keep in mind this year are:
- Take time for yourself to relax and reenergize
- Keep healthy and familiar snacks on hand to avoid hangry kids and adults
- Get on your kid’s level to experience the sights and sounds
Happy Holidays to you and your family!
