Today’s Parenting Tip:

Decide:    To have fun baking with your child.

Practice:   Today, bake cookies for the Holiday.

Let your child select the type of cookies to bake, including how to decorate them.

Arrange your space so he can be messy without ruining anything.

If he wants to, have him put his name on a cookie and set it aside so it can be his at the Holiday meal.

Let him help package some cookies for a neighbor or relative. Let him help deliver them.

Be sure to tell him how much fun it was to bake with him today.

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.)
