With little ones, we want to make sure that they have the most magical season ever, but trying to do it all will leave us broke, exhausted, and stressed. Try some of these tips for a stress-free (or at least a reduced stress) holiday season with your preschooler!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Ideally, we as parents and caregivers would start thinking about the holidays weeks and months in advance. Get a family calendar and put all of the events you\u2019d like to attend on it so everyone can see what the entire week or month looks like. Doing this will likely keep you from over-committing your family to too much \u201cmagic.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Just Say No<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Do not be afraid to prioritize your family\u2019s needs and say no to an invitation that has come in that would add one too many things to your shopping list or your calendar! If it helps, set a cap on how many weekly events you think your family can handle, and commit to saying a gracious \u201cNo, thank you\u201d to any invitations that come up after the calendar is full.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Presence over Presents<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Finances and stress about buying gifts for every teacher and family member can nearly ruin a holiday. Focus more on making memories and experiences you and your preschooler will remember forever, and commit to stopping and taking a breath and being present in these moments.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Be Flexible &#8211; Read the Room<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You know your preschooler and your family best. If, despite all the planning and saying no, you\u2019re noticing that your children are starting to melt down, pack up and take everyone home. If necessary, graciously decline the next commitment as well.<\/p>\n<p>Want to learn more about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.krkkeller.com\/\">Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Learning Academy of Keller<\/a> located in Keller, Texas?
