This Christmas…remember this…

✨ Parenting Tip of the Day ✨

Kids need presence, not presents.

And here’s the beautiful part, you can give them both in a way that nourishes connection. 💛

It’s not about how much you spend…

It’s about how much you show up.

Here are some experience-based ideas that work with any budget:

🌼 Low-Cost Presence:

• A picnic at the park

• A nature walk where they pick flowers or collect leaves, rocks, sticks etc.

• Baking cookies or fun holiday treats together

• A movie night in or outdoors with blankets and popcorn

• A small gift paired with quality time….ex. reading a book together, guided painting, or playing a game, cooking classes, pottery classes, horse back riding lessons, the idea is think experience that works for your budget.

🌴 Bigger Experience Options:

• A day trip to a local museum, zoo, or aquarium

• A weekend getaway instead of toys that get forgotten (rent a cool Treehouse Airbnb or kid themed Airbnb with games and activities for the family to connect)

• A family adventure — mini-golf, a theme park, or exploring a new city

• Letting your child choose an experience for the family

Because toys get lost…

But experiences become memories.

And memories become connection.

And connection becomes safety.

Kids are CRAVING connection.

Showing up for your child with presence gives them what every child deeply needs:

🩵 Attunement

🩵 Belonging

🩵 Emotional safety

🩵 The feeling that “I matter.”
