Practical tips

On this day of celebration, we would request you to be mindful of the child’s physical and emotional state, as the day can get tiring and exhausting. Here are some tips for the occasion that could set the mood in advance:

• Plan ahead with your child.
• Ask him for his favorite places to visit or things to do.
• Prepare the child for what’s coming up to set his expectations.
• Make sure you have your child’s favorite food available – and don’t miss out on hot dogs, burgers and steak !
• Schedule your child’s day with relevant breaks in between to ensure that he is not overwhelmed.
• Keep an eye out for signs of anxiety or distress, including an increase in behaviors such as humming or rocking – they may indicate it’s time for a break.
