After the holidays, it may be a good reminder to bring simplicity back in your home life. It is hard for us parents to know how to handle the fireworks when our children have had too much sugar, acquired too many toys, and clothes. Innocently, we thought they would enjoy getting those presents and stuff!
Kids can become unruly, cranky, and whiny. This happens with over-stimulation. It could be over-stimulation in getting alot of 'stuff' or having a busy schedule, perhaps they are exposed to inappropriate information and images on TV or other media.
We can help by ensuring kids have:
- good nutrition
- routine
- good sleep
- time to just be
Can we take a step back and allow our children to get bored? That could stimulate them to explore, and play and just be kids.
Simplicity is being content with the basic gifts of life.
