How are your little ones behaving after the holidays?
This past Christmas holiday, we enjoyed spending time with our family, free time, and doing the activities we love most. For adults, routines come to a halt for a few days, and we have more time to rest, enjoy, and spend time with our loved ones. This situation is comparable for children.
The little ones are getting back to their routine: classes, homework, extracurricular activities... They've just spent a few days with family and friends, going out whenever they wanted and were allowed, seeing their grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles, etc. It's normal for them to have a hard time adjusting since they've been very formal these past few days because they were waiting for the Three Wise Men to arrive, but what now? How are your little ones behaving after being so formal during these Christmas holidays?
Many children may experience symptoms of stress and anxiety when returning to school, and may have difficulty adjusting to the new routine.
It's important to remember that the holidays can be an exciting and rewarding time for children. They may have enjoyed free time with family and friends, and they may have received gifts and special attention. But it's also necessary to establish a regular routine before school starts. This can include time for homework, play, and relaxation. It's vital to talk with children about their feelings and expectations for the school year, and help them set realistic goals and objectives.
We'd like to remind you that children need time to process changes. For this reason, we'd like to give you a series of tips to help them gradually adjust to the routine and the end of vacation:
In short, it's important to teach them to value both leisure time and school time. They need to know that both can be enjoyed and that being in a routine doesn't mean neglecting their interests, hobbies, and leisure time. We understand that tough weeks of crying, complaining, laziness, and restlessness are coming, but if there's one thing we're aware of, it's that as parents, you must have the best attitude to encourage and motivate your little ones on a daily basis because, as we all know, being a parent is no easy task.

- Establish a routine schedule. This can include time for homework, play, and relaxation, as well as bedtimes and wake-up times.
- Help them keep their minds and bodies active, whether through reading, brain teasers, or homemade crafts.
- Foster a supportive environment at home, ensuring that children feel loved and supported, regardless of their academic or extracurricular achievements.
- Teach them to have a positive attitude and see the glass half full, instead of focusing on what is over (vacation) or what is coming (school).
- Help them develop good time management skills by teaching them to plan and prioritize their tasks and responsibilities.
- Encourage physical activity and outdoor play to help them adapt to routine.
- Encourage friendships and interests, whether through extracurricular activities or playing with friends.
- Remind them that the holidays are special, but life goes on, and they can continue enjoying special moments with their family and friends throughout the rest of the year.
