Keeping the Holidays Joyful and Calm for Children

Written By Shirley Smith

What to Expect at December’s Parent Engagement Night

The holiday season brings joy, togetherness, and celebration, but it can also bring changes in routine that may be challenging for young children. At St. Matthew’s Weekday School, we want to help families navigate these moments with confidence and care.

Join us on Thursday, December 11 at 7:00 PM via Zoom for Holiday Harmony: Helping Children Through the Season of Change, led by our Director, Shirley.

This session invites our families to reflect on the Thanksgiving season and prepare for the busy weeks ahead. Together, we will explore practical ways to maintain calm, connection, and balance during the holidays.

During this discussion, we will talk about:

  • Preparing children for changes in daily routines and family gatherings

  • Responding when children feel overwhelmed or overstimulated

  • Encouraging simple, peaceful moments that bring joy to the season

We hope you will join us for this thoughtful and encouraging evening that supports both children and caregivers through the holiday season.
