Remind your child that learning doesn’t stop for break. Reading holiday recipes or maps still counts.

Let your child see you helping others quietly. Example plants seeds long after words fade.
Ask your child what they’re most proud of this semester. Reflection builds awareness and confidence.
Teach the difference between being nice and being kind. Kindness costs more — and matters more.
Before the holiday break begins, thank your child’s teachers and others who support their education for their patience, energy, and care. Gratitude helps trust flourish.
Use car rides for conversation — ask open questions and listen without rushing to fix.
Make sure your family is getting enough sleep. Tired kids (and parents) struggle with patience and focus.
Encourage your child to notice who might feel left out this season. Inclusion is a gift money can’t buy.
Include your child in giving. Donate canned goods, pick an angel tree tag, or bake for a neighbor.
Keep evening routines steady. Predictability helps kids handle holiday excitement better.
