So are your children really wired! Christmas brings out such excitement in children. Last minute school concerts and parties. Family coming and calling. Bringing gifts for under the tree. The stress of it all can also bring some whining and unruly behaviour. So what to do. Give children age appropriate activities to do. Let them help clean- especially their room. Keep the area where company will be tidy. Give them lots of supportive messages. Tell the Christmas story of the real meaning of Christmas. Bring out those books and read the stories to them. Let the grandparents help with those tasks too. Have some ideas but not set in stone for the week off and what can be fun. Remember when creating the magic, be childlike and let go of some stuff! You know what I mean!

I think we all have to slow down and remember what we are celebrating ...
