Tips for Helping Your Children Adjust to Guests

10/5/2021

0 Comments

 
When routines change, behavior can change. With guests, LOTS of temporary changes can happen quickly and sometimes kids are over-tired (hours at an aquarium with the grandparents and friends), hangry (usual snack time missed or eating on the go), over-stimulated (too much Christmas - presents, food, TV and more, and more), confused/frustrated (Having guests stay in a child’s room and them having to sleep somewhere else).

✨ REST - Get quiet and calm, try a 15 minute quiet time (music, reading) or even a short nap
✨ RESET - Create a positive transition from activity to activity with full bellies, drinks and a relaxed mind
✨ROUTINE - Revisit your typical routine as much as you can; create one-on-one connection with your child(ren) for even five short minutes, one at a time - this can help a child who is overwhelmed feel heard and attended to and help them make it thru the rest of the day

Do you find anything particularly challenging about having guests over with kids?
