Today’s Parenting Tip:

Decide:    To help keep your kids calm and healthy during the busy holidays.

Practice:   Make a master plan for meals that covers the 14 days before the Holiday.

Knowing what your plan is and being able to plan ahead for the grocery shopping should mean more nutritious meals and less fast food during this busy time. During the holidays children especially need regular routines for food and sleep.

Consider making meals ahead and freezing them – another way to be sure that children maintain their regular routines.

Today’s Parenting Tip was inspired by the importance of traditions in children’s lives.

Come back each day for another good parenting decision and how to practice it. (Each day’s activity will also be posted on the Daily Parenting Tips page for easy access.)
