My husband used to go way out for our 2 boys during Christmas. My boys are now 16 and 12 and my husband has been ill and is in a nursing home. Financially its tough too keep up with the gifts their dad use to give them. How can I best try to make it an enjoyable Christmas for them. They pretty much understand the situation. However I want to show them that we still can have some happy moments during this sad time.

I'm glad you were able to join the webinar Judy. I'm sure Jamie and Brooke will have some suggestions for you. Of course, your situation doesn't only apply to the holiday season. If you just want to talk with other people any time, please join the conversations on Connect https://connect.mayoclinic.org/ If you let me know a bit more about your husband's situation, I can help connect you with other members of the community.

Any ideas for when kids are home during the summer and working parents are managing the kids schedules and work schedule?

Hi @hector_spin. Welcome to Connect! Thanks for your comment and for sharing this great article. With the way that Connect works, there isn't usually a great deal of conversation on these webinar posts because they aren't groups within the platform. However, might I suggest that you visit our About Kids & Teens group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/childrens-and-teens-health/) and post this article along with your question. I think this is a great topic for discussion and i'd love to get it somewhere where you are more likely to get responses.
