Celebrate with Your Community
Don’t be too hard on yourself and allow for flexibility. Teach your children that treats and other traditional party foods are great to eat in moderation and for special occasions. Treats are a normal part of many celebrations and that is part of what makes them so special!
Feeling the pressure to cook, clean, and decorate for a special event? Go potluck style and ask those attending the party to bring their favorite dish. For even more collaboration, create a shared sign up sheet using google docs or email to ensure that you have everything you need.
Choose party games and activities that require teamwork and collaboration to help children (and adults) foster healthy relationship skills.
Allow children to make their own decisions during parties such as what they eat or how they participate in games to help them to develop responsible decision-making skills.
