Hey there No-Problem Parents!
Welcome back to the Holiday Harmony Series Part 2/3.
In this episode, we addressed the challenge of resistance to holiday gatherings, focusing on introverted children.
Do you have a kiddo that is super shy or overwhelmed in large crowds?
We've got tips and tools to help you navigate the holiday season, even when your kiddo isn’t fully on board.
Today we're using the 3 step No Problem Parenting Approach:
1. Seek First to Understand at Family Gatherings:
Reflect on previous events and understand the child's perspective. What triggers discomfort or resistance? How can parents better comprehend their introverted child's experience? A quiet, matter-of-fact conversation with the child helps to gain insights.
2. Prepare for the Worst at Family Events:
Preparing introverted children for family gatherings. This includes setting clear expectations, creating safe spaces, and having a plan for potential meltdowns. It's crucial to be prepared, boosting parent confidence and making the experience smoother.
3. Changing the Conversation at Family Functions:
Lead with empathy, not sympathetic, towards introverted children. Avoid feeling sorry for your kids and instead be understanding, confident, and encouraging.
Remember, every child is unique, and finding the right balance that respects their introverted nature while allowing yourself to enjoy holiday gatherings is key.
Next week we’ll wrap up our 3 part Holiday series with some tips about how to respond to kiddos who overindulge in holiday treats.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for part 3 of our Mission Control Series. It’s the last episode in that series and we’re talking about prosocial behaviors for ages 3 – 13 and you’ll find more suggestions that will come in handy for the holiday season.
