“ No child should ever feel worthless at Christmas”.
The words below shared by Donna Ashworth, , are so important for all parents and caregivers to remember at this time of year.
Much has been written, sung and shared about the “naughty or nice” list, adding what seems to be lighthearted humour to the holiday season. Yet for many children this is very serious, feeling judged and compared to others, while not understanding what it would take for them to be “good enough”.
The overwhelm and the excesses of Christmas time are challenging enough for them, without having to feel blame, guilt or shame. All children born into this world have a right to experience unconditional love and care simply because they exist. All children deserve to feel a sense of worthiness, safety, and security, and they all deserve to feel happy at Christmas.

The hustle and bustle is ramping up as Christmas draws nearer: the cleaning, the baking, the cooking, the shopping for gifts, the partying and socializing.
Children are out of school and excitement is building as to what Santa will leave under the tree, and how many usually restricted treats they will be allowed to indulge in.
For the younger ones the holiday season can be overwhelming, confusing, even frustrating. Toddlers may become more attention-seeking, more irritable, more aggressive, as there are many triggers for these behaviours all around them.
Parents /Caregivers need to maintain their own sense of calm and control so that they will be able to comfort, soothe, and validate feelings as situations with their little ones arise.

The graphic below from illustrates why toddlers may tantrum more during the holidays.
