If there ever was a time for a little etiquette you would think it would be the holidays. Easter is coming up very soon and parents seem to think anything goes for those Easter egg hunts. I have seen many different things when taking my kids to a Easter egg hunt. Yes, there are exceptions to the rules but let your kids look for the eggs a little. Quit pointing everything out or standing on top of them while they are looking, give them a little space. Theresa over at Rock on Mommies has a great post on this as well. I love seeing what everyone has to say on this. I have read a few stories of Easter egg hunts being cancelled because of aggressive parents. No fair, Moms and Dads, take a deep breath and count to ten!
Most of you know what I mean, those who don’t…stand back and let you’re helicopter mommy self breathe a
little, then give the kid some breathing room too. There are only a few rules parents so let’s read on.
1. Parents of children who are old enough to walk well (over 3), let them hunt alone.
Don’t hover over your child pointing out every egg and leaving none for the other kids.
2. Parents, do not scream at your kids and point where eggs are from the sidelines, they will see them.
3. Don’t go into the egg hunting area with your kids unless they cannot walk and even then, help nicely (Check if there is a crawlers or younger children’s area).
That’s it!
Have fun but let your child be a child and have some fun, no coaches, just fun. If you can’t handle it then have your own hunt and go crazy. Now, no hoarding eggs and have a Happy Easter!
