Parents of small children have the right to decide for themselves what to do on New Year's Eve - celebrate the holiday together or put their heirs to bed.
It would be wiser to listen to the advice of doctors who will help organize a holiday without whims, taking into account the age of the child.
Pediatrician Guzel Rakhimova told Lady Mail.ru how best to celebrate the New Year with small children.
Advice for parents
With babies, everything is simple. Little by little, the child is introduced to the festive atmosphere, the Christmas tree and toys.
It is advisable to exclude anything that can disrupt sleep and cause stress.
This could be a sharp and loud noise, a group of people, etc.
Children under 2 years of age are also not recommended to attend noisy events.
In this case, the ideal option is a holiday that is celebrated with family.
Children under 3 years of age are actively interested in festive events, can help with decorations, have fun on this day in their own way, but they also need a daily routine.
For a child between the ages of 3 and 6 who is used to going to bed at 9 or 10 p.m., staying up late will also not do any good.
For them, noisy fun should be planned for the first half of the day, and in the evening, quiet festive events without unnecessary fuss should be organized.
Conclusion
The expert advises parents to maintain their child’s daily routine and try not to overload children physically and emotionally.
Remember that fatigue and overexcitement can cause moodiness and poor health.
Avoid noise, be sure to think about what you will feed your child at the party and do not forget about safety at celebrations.
