It\u2019s not even as big as Easter. Nevertheless, Valentine\u2019s Day is a big holiday that is going to be on your preschooler&#8217;s radar. Whether it\u2019s a big deal to your family or not, it\u2019s probably worth having a conversation about. Valentine\u2019s Day means a lot of different things for a lot of different people, and odds are the media portrayal of Valentine\u2019s Day is not the understanding that you want your preschooler to have of the holiday. So here are some tips on how to have a good conversation about the holiday:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep it Simple<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Valentine\u2019s Day is not a super complicated subject, so don\u2019t try and over-explain it to your preschooler. Simply saying, \u201cThis day is an extra opportunity to express how much you care for a person and to tell them what they mean to you\u201d will do. Romantic relationships don\u2019t have to make sense, leave it at heart-shaped cards and hugs and chocolate. As adults there isn\u2019t much more to the holiday anyways, so even if your preschooler doesn\u2019t get it right away, don\u2019t sweat it as long as they know you love them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make it Personal<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your preschooler is probably not going to understand the bigger ideas of love and Valentines day, but one thing they do understand is you. Showing up, telling them that you love them as much as you do, and making a day out of it goes a long way. Goofy is always a failsafe route to take at this age. Wrap your little one up, blow on his belly, and swing him around a couple of times, and I think they will get the gist of it! And setting the example between you and your spouse can be a great example on how to love well on Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>did you know&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>&#8230;there&#8217;s also a very fun historical story behind the meaning of Valentine&#8217;s Day!
