Securely Attached Q&A: How do I start making meaningful holiday traditions with my kids when all they want is presents?
Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...
- How to start holiday traditions when you have a toddler and a new baby (without adding more pressure and stress to your plate!)
- Setting realistic expectations so you don't feel disappointed if the picture in your head and the reality with your kids look very different.
- How to stay flexible as your kids grow, their interests change, and your family evolves.
- Why kids often latch onto those unexpected and unplanned moments of joy and togetherness - and how realizing this can help take some of the pressure off parents.
- Simple ways to create meaningful holiday rituals, avoid overwhelm, and set a tone of joy, connection, and calm for your family this season.
Whether you're navigating multiple holidays, trying to balance gifts with meaning, or simply hoping to make this season feel special (without losing your mind), this episode will help you build traditions that truly fit your family and remind you that the magic often comes from doing less, not more.
