Holiday Stress Response: Staying Calm with Kids

December 17, 2007

  1. Make calming meals that are simple and easy to digest-soups for example are easy to prepare and offer your child a warm meal that they are forced to enjoy more slowly. If you are having guests, let your child participate in the preparations.
  2. Give your kids and yourself some calming treatments: aromatherapy massage oils, a calming bath, even some homeopathic tinctures that are safe, natural, relaxing and help them maintain their normal sleep.

Aromatherapy:
I love the hand-blended products from www.enlightenedhands.com. The quality of the essential oils and the individualized blends make this by far the best massage oil safe for babies, children and their parents.

Calming Baths:
I am partial to vedaBABY’s SPLASH, a neroli infused preservative-free all natural bath powder that infuses the whole bathroom with the calming scent of neroli and also soothes dry, irritated or eczematous skin.

Homeopathic tinctures:
Hyland’s Calms Fort 4 Kids is a formulation of all-natural, safe and effective ingredients for children ages 2 and up.

Planetary Formulas Calm Child Herbal Syrup is a blend of the soothing botanicals chamomile and lemon balm combined with the other supporting herbs and nutrients traditionally used to cultivate a centered sense of calmness and well-being.

Please be sure to consult with your child’s doctor before using this or other medicines.
