Don’t miss this article and discover 5 simple tips to help your child experience the most magical days of the year as best and happiest as possible!
1. Don’t change their habits
Even if they don’t have to get up for school, it’s best not to change their sleep-wake rhythms. Try to send them to bed at about the same time, limiting long evenings as much as possible.
For children, maintaining a daily routine is very important since, in addition to making them rest better, it gives them a sense of security that positively affects their well-being.
2. Pay attention to what they eat
Although it will be almost impossible to keep them away from all the sweets that come across our tables during Christmas, it is good to limit sugar-rich foods. Remember that most sodas and sweets also contain caffeine, which, although in very limited amounts, still affects their rest.
3. Play as much as possible!
During the holidays, sports activities are also interrupted; however, this should not stop you from letting children play during the day: if the weather allows, a walk or run with friends in the park can only do them good, and will tire them out a bit.
4. Too many emotions, help them like this
Emotions can be many between Santa’s arrival and all those presents to unwrap. Help your child relax as much as possible before bedtime: a warm bath, chamomile tea, and a good bedtime story are almost always a winning formula!
5. Don’t forget to create an ideal environment!
Never underestimate the importance of your child’s sleeping environment, at Christmas as well as for the rest of the year, a bed system suitable for their weight and physical features will ensure a quality sleep.
