Celebrations are moments of joy. It has been a couple of years, Christmas and New Year’s celebrations all taking place in the background of Covid. Nevertheless, we are celebrating these important days within our means. These days are not something that should be left as mere opportunities for happiness. It should also become an opportunity for good for the new generation. The New Year should be an opportunity of goodness for children too. Here are some suggestions on how to make prepare the kids for a new year.
1. Prepare a Thankyou Note
It’s a bit old-fashioned, but giving the kids a thank you card will remind them of the need to say thank you. Children will also appreciate the acceptance they receive when they thank others. Try to prepare and give the card to as many children as possible.
2. Remember the Benefits Received
Let us help the children in this matter. It can help them remember every little thing they got in their life. Make a list of all of them. This will help the children to make their life more positive and find happiness in the good they get.
3. Introduce Infant Jesus as a Friend
The children may have already built a crib. Parents can introduce infant Jesus as a playmate. Stories and small tasks can be given to illustrate the presence of Jesus, who walks along like a baby. Baby Jesus should be turned into a friend who can run away from any grief for the next year.
4. You can Plan for the Next Year
This is something that everyone in the family should sit down and do. Let the children know how to live as good kids this year. You can make good decisions. Let the children be reminded that we are going through a land of crises. It also gives an indication of the preparations that need to be made.
5. Relationships can be Renewed
It is the Covid period. Can’t travel much. In such cases, we can introduce our children to our own family through phone and video calls. Try to invite the older members of the family with the children and so on. It will bring joy to children and adults alike and make relationships more secure.
