Learning ThroughHoliday TraditionsRIENAMANDA O’BSr. AVP of Corporate andManaged Center OperationsThe holiday season is upon us and most of us have some sort of traditions for differentoccasions each year. Traditions link us into our family trees, and bond us with the families thatare still being created. They can be as simple as going shopping the day after Thanksgiving todecorating the tree while The Polar Express is on with hot cocoa and bagels to elaborate familygatherings that include a 5-course meal. Traditions are always evolving and adapting as familydynamics change. The best part about traditions is there are no rules and they are unique to yourown family so even if you don’t have any now, you can start them at any time!Here are some fun ideas you canstart this year with your little onesthat also incorporate learning:1. A holiday countdown that reinforceslearning the days of the week, how to countbackwards and be patient.2. Having a holiday cookie baking nightteaches our little ones how to followinstructions, measurements, simple mathand teamwork.3. Acts of Kindness reinforce philanthropy andbeing a kind, good citizen. The holidays area great time to teach selflessness.4. Read a seasonal book like Frosty TheSnowman. As your little ones learn to readthey can help read and act out the book.5. Play the “Grateful Game” by creating ahomemade book which is passed aroundfor everyone to fill in. The kiddos will needsome help with this. This teaches childrenthe concept of gratitude.What are some of your favoritefavoriteure to shareholiday traditions?
