Holidays are definitely going to look different this year, but there may still be pressure from family and friends to veer from your child’s usual routine to accommodate for family gatherings, whether they are indoors, outdoors or by zoom!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember that you know your child best – so if being off schedule is too stressful for them (or for you!), it’s okay to put your family’s needs above others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re concerned about family and friends getting too close to your baby, I highly recommend using a baby carrier to keep baby close – this will keep unwanted hands off baby, will make baby feel more at ease in a changing environment, and will allow you to get a nap in if they need it!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Though the holiday season can be really exciting for young kids, it can also sometimes be overwhelming! Anticipating that your child may need some time to reconnect with you can be helpful in avoiding (and in handling!) tantrums. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

And, if you need any support, I am here for you!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
