Museums and galleries
During the holiday many museums and galleries run special events or programmes. Most major museums and galleries have free entry, and many offer special activities on a daily basis to help children enjoy and get the most out of their visit. 所以，带你的孩子参观博物馆是个不错的选择哟。况且专家说了，最适合全家去的地方就是现代艺术馆，那咱还犹豫什么！

Days out at the beach, in the country, or visiting heritage sites, can be affordable and enjoyable for both adults and children. Trips to amusement parks and adventure playgrounds could be another option to consider during the holiday. 爱玩是孩子的天性，那就带他们去撒野吧！

For working parents, childcare during the holidays can be a problem. Many families get a hand from grandparents and other relatives, while you have a lifetime to work, but children are only young once. 节日当天尽量陪陪孩子吧，不要给自己和孩子留下遗憾。

Keep Your Word
Stick to the schedule. Arrive on time and drop off the children on time. 和孩子一起制订计划，并且严格遵守。

Keep in Touch
If the children are not with you for the holiday, call them, and be sure to send cards or email. Consider celebrating the holiday before or after the actual day. Children love parties and gifts any time - nothing fancy - but something special you create just for them. 即便不在孩子身边，也要记着送去节日的祝福。孩子们最需要的就是我们的爱。

如果你打算带孩子串门，如果你无法确保自己会寸步不离地跟着孩子，那么你一定要向主人询问如下问题：

• Are there small objects, such as hard candy or nuts in candy dishes, where younger children can get them?

• Are medications, poisons and household cleaners out of reach?

• Do they have a pet that may harm the children?

• If your child has food allergies, will they be serving that food?

如果你打算送玩具作为节日礼物，那么你一定要看看如何选择安全的玩具：

• Select toys to suit the age, abilities, skills, and interest level of the intended child. Toys too advanced may pose safety hazards to younger children.

•  For infants, toddlers, and all children who still mouth objects, avoid toys with small parts which could pose a fatal choking hazard.

• For all children under age 8, avoid toys that have sharp edges and points.

• Do not purchase electric toys with heating elements for children under age 8. 

如果你想让家里洋溢着欢快的节日气氛，那么请注意装饰品的选购原则：

• You should avoid edible decorations, including popcorn chains and candy canes, since younger children may think that all of the decorations are edible.

• Decorations should be flame-resistant and made of nonleaded materials. Avoid breakable decorations.

• Before using lights when decorating, make sure that they are not damaged, avoid using more than three sets of light on a single extension cord and don't overload electrical outlets.

• Candles should never be left unattended, placed in an area where they can be easily knocked over or near flammable curtains or decorations.

带孩子去户外玩耍需要注意的事项：

• Dress your child appropriately for the weather so that he doesn't get too wet or cold.

• Keep a close eye on your children when shopping, as it is easily to get lost or taken in a busy store or shopping center.

• Trying to stick to your child's usual routines, including sleep schedules and timing of naps, can help you and your child enjoy the holiday and reduce stress.
