These hints can help make holidays more enjoyable for you and your child.
Most children have a very limited concept of time.
Your child's impatient anticipation could frustrate both of you. Children look forward to gifts, and some view them as sign of love. It becomes very stressful when exemplary behavior is made a condition of receiving gifts. Help your child see that a gift is one way, but far from the only way, to show love. For adults, holidays often bring extra financial, emotional, and family demands.
