Maintain Peace and Joy Through the Holidays
There is much joy that adults and children alike can experience during the holiday season. But don't let the stress of the hustle and bustle and the upending of routines threaten your family's peace! You can manage holiday activities and help your children experience peace and joy rather than anxiety, which will make the holidays wonderful for the entire family.
