Children are bundles of joy for their parents. A professor from the University of Texas, Jacqueline Woolie, declares in her research paper, "The All-Important Annual Birthday Party," that these little millennial today need reasons for everything they do. ‘It’s the party that counts!’
Playing and having fun is the heart of a birthday party celebration that can overwhelm toddlers the most. Kids will not remember the décor. However, they will remember the fun, laughter, and time spent nurturing their friendship bond with their little pals.
The kids cheer in an environment that is safe to run, laugh, giggle, and explore. and that is what makes the parents happy. So let’s go with the flow to see how you can turn your toddler’s birthday party into a memorable celebration.
Add a secure touch
Birthday party celebrations are an opportunity to nourish a parent-child bond with love and care. A one, two, or three-year-old child will not remember how much effort you put into his birthday party decor. A toddler needs a sense of protectiveness every day. On his special day, a little more quality time, some more hugs and kisses, and a thankful voice can make a permanent space in the little mind.
According to Fran Scott, the dean of the Erickson Institute for Advanced Study in Child Development, every child needs at least one person who is crazy about him. So, make them feel special today!
Nurture the sense of "sharing is caring
Sharing goody bags can train your toddlers to understand that "sharing is caring’. According to Dr. Sears, young children resist sharing, and that’s normal.
Another piece of research from the University of Michigan says modeling thankfulness for children can help instill the character traits of gratitude and caring in them. ’ Moreover, the research further declares that thankfulness gesture impacts the giver as well as the receiver.’
As a parent, don’t force your child to share. However, guiding your child to hand over the goody bags to their little friends at the birthday party inculcates a sense of sharing. They learn how to express a sense of gratitude and thanksgiving at their birthday party.
Expanding Social Interaction
A child’s birthday party is incomplete without his or her friends. A study has shown that children tend to learn better with their peers.
Encourage your child to stay connected with other children. This is how you are opening new horizons of success in her life. They learn how to interact, converse, resolve conflicts, and enjoy happiness together in a better way.
