By using these strategies, you can sprinkle your own "Christmas magic" on your parenting skills that lasts way beyond December 25th. If you ever find yourself doubting your parenting abilities this time of year, always remember... you have the power of knowledgeโฌ†๏ธ, AND the power of Jesus Christ, who was born, took on flesh, and walked among us so we can live in relationship with Him! You've got this!
