Navigating "Holiday Fussing and Fits" with St. Matthew’s Weekday School
As the holiday season approaches, families are often filled with anticipation and excitement. Yet, all these changes in routine, potential travel, and new faces can lead to overwhelming feelings for our children. St. Matthew's Weekday School is here to empower you with strategies to navigate this season.
On November 14th, join us for our November Parent Engagement event, "Holiday Fussing and Fits," where Shirley will delve into understanding big emotions during the holiday season.
What You Can Expect
Understanding Emotional Reactions: The holidays can stir up a mix of emotions for children—everything from excitement and joy to anxiety or frustration. We’ll discuss how to recognize and validate these feelings, making it easier for parents to support their children through these emotional ups and downs.
Preparing for Changes in Routine: From new sleep schedules to holiday travel, children often struggle when their routines are disrupted. We’ll talk about how to set expectations, create visual schedules, and use transition tools that make changes feel more predictable and manageable.
Building Resilience and Flexibility: By teaching children how to be flexible in new situations, we empower them to handle unexpected changes with greater ease. Our team will share simple strategies for fostering resilience, which can help make family gatherings, special events, and even travel smoother for everyone.
Why Attend?
This session is a wonderful opportunity for parents to connect, share their own experiences, and gain fresh ideas for navigating the holidays with young children. Whether this is your first holiday season as a parent or you’re a seasoned pro, you’ll walk away with practical tips that can make the season more enjoyable for your whole family.
