How to Teach Your Toddler The Meaning of the Holidays

This post is sponsored by Be Good. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you for helping me support brands I use and love.

It’s hard to believe that the holidays are here! Christmas has always been my favorite holiday, but even more so the past two years. Levi was born 2 days after Christmas, so it made my favorite time of year even more special! Even though it is a fun and special time of year, I want to teach Levi what the holidays truly mean and as we all know, sometimes getting through to a toddler can be difficult! Below are a few ways that we are teaching our toddler the meaning of the holidays:

Spending Time With Family – Family is a huge and important part of the holiday season. We are teaching our toddler just how important family is by spending as much time with them as possible. He loves spending time with Grammy and Papaw, especially!

Starting New Traditions – Growing up, I can remember decorating our tree as a family every year and baking cookies. These are simple traditions, but ones that I hold so very dear. Now that Levi is a little older and can start to enjoy traditions like these, we are starting them within our own family. This year, we went to pick out a live tree as a family together. We also plan to bake cookies together and read the Christmas story on Christmas Eve. Small traditions that are meaningful are a great way to involve your toddler in the holidays.

Remembering Those That Are Less Fortunate- It is no secret that the holidays are a difficult time for many. Not just during the holidays, but throughout the year, we want to teach Levi to help those who have less. Small thoughts such as taking some of his old toys to a shelter or putting together gifts for children who are sick are ways that we plan to teach Levi the meaning of the holidays. One way that we plan to give back is to ask people to donate to their favorite charity or bring a small gift to his birthday party (his birthday is 2 days after Christmas), that we can give to others. This teaches Levi that the holidays (and every day) should be a time of reflection and thinking of how we can help others.

One of my favorite things to have on hand to give to children who are in need (or just as a gift in general), are Be Good products! Be Good products are naturally derived, formulated in the USA and safe for children of all ages. Be Good formulas are free of: parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, gluten, synthetic dyes, DEA, palm oil, added hormone disrupters, petrolatums, dioxanes from sulfates, phosphates, BPA, animal by-products and no animal testing. As a mom of a little one with eczema and allergies, these are all so important to me. I also love the Be Good message and what they stand for!

While many of us have been working from home or are trying to homeschool and work from home, kids around the world have been struggling to get basic needs. One INCREDIBLE way to help (socially distanced of course) is to sponsor a child!⁠
⁠
We chose to work with All Gods Children (@allgodschildreninternational ) this year to sponsor two children from Ethiopia! We have been doing this for awhile, and I am excited to share about this organization with you. ⁠
⁠
When our sponsorship packets arrived, Levi especially was so excited. Rebecca is still a bit too young to understand, but at 4, Levi is starting to grasp what it means to help others. We are trying to teach him that because we are so blessed, we need to help others when we can. Reading through the sponsorship packet with Levi and seeing how much he already cares for our sponsored children brought tears to this mama’s eyes!⁠
⁠
In a year that has been difficult for so many, most of us are still blessed beyond measure. This is why our family is choosing to reach out and help others as much as we can during this holiday season. Would you join us?⁠
⁠
Just a simple $40 can pay for your sponsored child’s school fees, uniforms, school supplies, healthy meals, and start a savings fund for their futures. Plus, fun fact, 80% of sponsored kids complete a university education!⁠
⁠
