Tips for the Birthday Mom Planner

Share Party Plans With The Birthday Child

Your birthday child will feel special and more involved

if he or she is included in the party plans including

the theme, food, and games that will be played. Children tend

to change their mind several times so you will want to set a

deadline for the "final decision‟. You may also want to

encourage siblings to share in the celebration so they will

not feel jealous or excluded. Offer them special jobs to do

before and then during the party.

Agree ahead of time to serve a nutritious selection of your child‟s favorite foods. You will want to include a

variety of foods so that even fussy eaters will find

something to their liking. Keep in mind that tastes in foods

differs from one age group to the next and you may want to

try out recipes on your children ahead of time
