You
may only manage short visits to family
and friends, they will understand just warn them in advance.
Be
prepared for things to become a bit unsettled. School is all different too and
this can be tricky for kids to cope with. So accept that December will be wobbly for all of
you.... and roll with it.
Don’t
worry if your child doesn’t want to join in with all the fuss.
It's OK if your
child doesn’t want to open their presents in front of everyone, let them set
the pace.
Make
sure you plan lots of chill time.
Don’t
worry if your child goes back to their old toys and seems ungrateful They are just struggling to take it
all in. Introduce toys slowly one by one.
Make
life as easy for yourself as possible eg- At the school fair if you don’t have
time to bake... don’t worry, you're not alone.. just send in bought cakes and
don’t stress.
Send
a Facebook message to everyone saying
that you're not doing Christmas cards
this year as its such a massive job to undertake, and make a charity
donation instead.
Don’t
let other people pressure you or your child to join in.. This is your life...your child… and you need to be in control.
Celebrate the uniqueness of your family and enjoy the moment without worrying about what your missing out on.
Remember no one's Christmas is perfect so relax, go with the flow and be happy to think outside the box.
