Tips for Helping Your Kids Celebrate Mother’s Day This month, you and your kids have an opportunity to show honor and appreciation for mothers. Despite popular opinion, being divorced does not relieve you of your responsibility to educate your children on the importance of special occasions. This holiday gives you a chance to teach your children to consider the relationships they have with the women who gave birth to them and the roles that mothers play in their lives. While it might feel awkward at first to initiate a celebration for your ex-spouse, your help in the Mother’s Day-planning process could greatly reduce the pressure your kids feel. Here are some tips to consider. Help With Crafts Even if crafting isn’t necessarily your forte, your kids might enjoy making their mom a card for Mother’s Day. The vast majority of major retail stores carry craft supplies. Grab the kids and let them pick out brightly colored paper, markers, stencils, and stickers galore. Go Shopping Depending on your kids’ ages, they might feel uncomfortable or be unable to call a florist to have a bouquet delivered to their mom. This is an opportunity for you to offer a ride, a helpful opinion, or a dollar or two for the cause. Make Reservations Similar to helping your kids order a flower delivery, you can assist them to make reservations for a nice dinner with their mom. Even though you’re no longer with your ex-spouse, chances are you remember both your kids’ and her food preferences, which means that you can help them plan a special evening this Mother’s Day. Even though going shopping for your former spouse might not top your list of fun-filled afternoon activities, your kids will undoubtedly appreciate your help in the planning process. In many cases, children in blended families feel uncomfortable approaching parents for assistance with situations involving gift-giving. Take the first step and ask how you can help. Even If It Feels a Little Awkward
