Most of us love a good holiday celebration, and before we know it we are going to be thrown into over a month of celebrating. 

From Thanksgiving to Christmas to New Years, from party after party after party, and from one activity to another, your schedule is going to be booked. The same goes for your kids as well. Maybe you love it or maybe you hate it. 

But the reality of this holiday craziness is that there are bound to be a few extra meltdowns or tantrums here or there - from your toddler of course, but maybe also from you - and it really shouldn’t come as a surprise, should it? 

Today on the show we’re going to be talking about these meltdowns that happen around the holidays: why they are more likely to occur at this time and what you can do to help your kid - and yourself - through this holiday season. 

Let’s go to the show.

Christmas has come and gone and we are about to ring in the new year of 2021. What a great time it is to sit and reflect on all that has happened these past 12 months and what’s to come in the year ahead. 

Today on the show I want to reflect and share with you about my own biggest parenting take away from 2020 and give you a little sneak peek into what’s to come for The Parenting Clubhouse Podcast and Laura Lynn LaPointe LLC (also known as how I serve you in the online space) for 2021. 

And it goes without saying that I’m sharing all of this with you in the hopes to inspire, motivate, and support you in your own parenting journey so that you can be the confident, happy, and fulfilled mama that you truly desire to be.

Tis the season for receiving gifts, giving thanks, and showing gratitude. And if you’re a mama who has toddlers and older kids, the thought of how your children will respond when they receive a gift that they don’t like may terrify you. 

Kids receive gifts throughout the entire month of December... at daycare, at school, at Christmas parties, with extended family, and, of course, with you on Christmas Day, so there’s plenty of opportunity for your kids to respond to receiving a gift. 

While we definitely prefer that our kids receive a gift they like and will use, that is not always the case (cue the ugly Christmas outfit). Inevitably, at a young age, they will be confronted with the situation of what to do and how to respond when they receive something they don’t like. 

And you, mama, will be confronted with a similar situation of watching your kid respond terribly to receiving an unwanted gift....

I still can’t believe that we are into December and now very quickly approaching Christmas season... 2020 has gone by so slow and yet so dang fast! 

But today on the show I want us to chat about the stress that we get ourselves into throughout the holiday season, and more importantly, how we can manage that stress and keep our parenting sanity in the midst of it. 

Because here’s the deal. Life doesn’t have to be full of stress and anxiety.

So let’s throw off that parenting and holiday stress and actually enjoy the holiday season, shall we? Let’s go to the show!

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Laura Lynn shares how you can manage your holiday stress while being a parent AND an individual; 
• She illustrates key strategies to help your kids cope with the holiday craziness; and 
• She shares how most holiday “obligations” aren’t true obligations that we have to abide by.

The holiday season is truly upon us now and you may already be planning what to do with your spare time over Christmas break. 

And if you’ve got a toddler around the 2-3 age range, maybe you’re considering potty training during this extra time that you’re spending at home. It makes sense. Potty training does take some extra time and having the time at home with your toddler really is needed for those first few days of potty training. 

So today on the show I want to help you solve the debate on whether NOW, the break you may get within the holiday season, is the best time for you to potty train your toddler. 

Now let’s dive into how to know if now is the best time to potty train. Let’s head to the show.
