DID YOU KNOW DECEMBER FACTS?
December has much more to offer than just holiday preparations. December holidays and observances can be used to explore a variety of topics, such as health awareness, safety concerns, and ways to promote a healthy lifestyle. When it comes to daily observances, this month is a little lighter. This is because the month of December is dominated by a number of major annual holidays. However, if the holiday season is overwhelming, it can be beneficial to divert your child's (and your own) attention to a variety of other topics to balance out the month's festivities.
