How to Cultivate Intentional Holidays With Your Children (with Dr. Laura Froyen - Respectful Parenting Coach)


Listen Later

Even though we are in the middle of a pandemic, the holidays are still coming, and we can (and definitely should) still cultivate an intentional holiday season with our kids and family. Especially since things will look different this year as we celebrate these holidays during these unprecedented pandemic times.

 

Pandemic or not, the holidays are a time where intentionality is important - especially as Christians. We want to make sure we are communicating our family values and beliefs to our children. We want to make sure to teach our children the reason for the season, which is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We want to create traditions and memories with our children that they will look back on and remember with joy as they cultivate memories with their children.

 

However, as moms, we tend to put unnecessary pressure on ourselves with an unhealthy dose of perfectionism and comparison in the name of intentionality. We easily get caught up in the small details that we place too much importance on, the financial pressures the holidays can bring, and impressing everyone in our extended family for fear of judgment that we completely miss the opportunity to cultivate intention in the first place.

 

Dr. Laura Foyen, Respectful Parenting Coach, is here to encourage us that simple is better and less is more.

 

That’s right. We can cultivate an intentional, meaningful holiday season with our kiddos by doing LESS. I don’t know about you, but this is exactly what I needed to hear.

 

That’s what we’re diving into on today’s episode of the Mission Motherhood Podcast. Dr. Froyen takes us through exactly how to go from stressed and overwhelmed to focusing on what really matters this holiday season so we can create those memories with our children and teach them those values that are so near and dear to us.
