5 tips for maintaining kids’ routines during the holidays
Over the holiday season, it’s all too easy for your children’s routine to get thrown off track. Here are five tips to help you stick to a schedule and hopefully keep meltdowns to a minimum. 1. Prioritize sleep. Tired kids tend to get cranky, hyper and easily flustered. While a late night or two are almost inevitable at this time of year, overall, it’s best to maintain their regular sleep schedule. 2.Eat healthy. Make sure the entire family gets a healthy breakfast and lunch every day. Fill the kids up on fruits, vegetables and other healthy snacks before heading to a party. This way, they’ll have less room to gorge on cookies, cakes and other treats. 3.Entertain at home — or don’t. Some pa- rents find it easier to host during the holi-
days, while others can’t imagine planning a party. Don’t be shy to let your loved ones know what works for your family. 4.Get exercise. Make sure your kids remain active over the holidays, and that they have sufficient time to run around. Consi- der visiting an indoor play park or indul- ging in some outdoor fun. 5.Make time for play. Avoid filling every free moment with a planned activity. Set aside time for playing at home and relaxing. While sticking to a routine is beneficial for kids, doing so isn’t always feasible. Remem- ber to be flexible and not worry too much if things don’t go as planned.
