YOGYAKARTA The holiday moment is quite encouraging, but also stressful. As a parent, many tasks are carried out. Sometimes, to create the best vacations for children, family, and yourself, there are so many demands that must be resolved. So how about let the holidays not be messy and far from stress? Follow these tips.

First, you have to adjust expectations. Try to take a moment, how to get the vacation you're expecting. Then adjust your expectations to the behavior of your children. It's possible that the tone of the moments of prioritizing, crying, and things escapes the plan.

In expectations, you should consider many possibilities. Instead of stress choosing many places, it's better to adjust the destination to your children's behavior or preferences and energy.

Second, be open to plan changes. Too rigid to the original plan and closed to change, making vacation no longer fun. That is, you need to be open to changing plans for the holidays to go well. Important to understand, you can't make everyone happy. But remember what's best for the family, then it takes a lot of customization and more flexibility.

Third, achieve a happy moment by laughing and filling every simple moment with love. This third tip, according to child psychologist Meghan L. Marsac, Ph.D. reported by Psychology Today, Sunday, December 25, is to overcome when the holiday moment doesn't go as expected. You can enjoy simple things with joy and laughter.

When there are families or children who are sick or have a lot of health needs, vacation traditions may need to be adjusted, and the time you have to collect, vacation plans are getting fewer. Receive help from others to have a vacation that is suitable for your family. This means, you just need to come up with a realistic plan. Maybe, a perfect vacation is a moment with your family in a simple atmosphere, not a luxury or a long trip.
