Holiday season can stress young children too; here are tips to help them
By Lori Jay-Linstrom, Parent Involve
ment Coordinator
December can be a very busy and
stressful month for our Head Start fami
lies. Whatever your special holiday is,
the holiday season can cause stress in
i young children.
They respond to stress in their own
ways - crying, tantrums, clinging, exces
sive energy, temporary regression such
as thumb sucking and many other ways.
: Here are some tips you might find helpful:
•
Establish predictable routines. Eat
regular meals. Make sure that chil
dren get enough sleep. Plan for rest
times. Children need to know what is
going to happen. Take time to explain
the day’s activities.
•
•
Prepare ahead for a hectic day. Put
your children’s clothes out the night
before. Plan for snacks. Quick take-
along snacks such as crackers, veg
gies and fruit require no refrigeration
and can be shared when shopping
lines are long or hunger makes tem
pers flare.
Allow time for children to play. Plan
frequent activity breaks. Find fun
things you can do together.
The last day of class before the
Christmas break is Dec. 15. The Christ
mas holiday begins Dec. 19 with classes
resuming at all sites on Jan. 3, 2012.
Childcare assistance
You may qualify for the Childcare
Assistance Program if your child is an
enrolled Siletz Tribal member and you are
a working family that lives in the Siletz
Tribe’s 11-county service area.

Check your child’s weekly packet for
more holiday stress tips.
On Dec. 1, all Head Start sites will
have their annual Christmas craft night.
This is a fun time for our families to make
the Christmas craft items that parents
cherish for years to come.
