1. Start small - Start by doing small fireworks at your house a few days prior to the holiday to slowly introduce your child to the whole idea. The easiest way to start is with "Poppers." Enjoy going outside and throwing them at the ground together with your child, making it a fun experience for both of you.
2. Gradually introduce new fireworks at your house prior to the holiday
3. Start far away on the 4th of July - You can always get closer to the fireworks once your child starts to feel more confortable
- Start by sitting inside together on the coach and just listening to the fireworks
- Gradually make your way to the window to watch them
- Open the door so the noise is a little bit louder
- Simply ask your child if he/she wants to go outside for a closer look
The most important thing to remember is NOT to force your child to do anything. If you both end up inside during the firework show, it's okay. There is always another chance to slowly introduce them.
