Relax and Eat Well During The Holidays
The holidays can be stressful, there is no question about it, especially for children. With so many parties and family and friends coming over, it is hard to keep both the children and adults on a regular eating schedule that provides nutrition. So what's the secret to making the holiday season a healthy season for children?
Stick to regular nap and meal times as much as you can. Stay consistent in your routine and keep your bedtime rituals.
If you have to go out of town for the holidays, be sure to bring a "comfort" piece from home, be it a blanket, stuffed animal or favorite book. In addition, buy a "surprise" book they can open the first night away from home. It adds a special element and allows you to have some quiet time away from home. Do not use this time to start giving them treats before bed, no matter whether "Grandma" wants them to have it or not.
Make time for downtime. During the course of the day, there are always many things to do and rarely enough time to do them all. No matter what, find at least 5 minutes to “relax” and have a little bit of downtime. Perhaps you can bring lullaby music in your car to set the mood for the day and get rid of the hustle and bustle of the season, or a favorite holiday book.
Don't compromise your food choices. Kids get plenty of "treats" during the holidays so do what you can to serve up healthy foods. Keep healthy snacks handy and limit sugar intake no matter what. Children do not know yet that the holiday season is about eating and snacking, so what they don't know won't hurt them.
The holidays can be happy is you teach your children healthy nutrition and teach them how to relax.
