All the Tools to Prepare Your Child (and Yourself) for a Holiday Season with Less Overwhelm and More Joy
If the holidays have you bracing for meltdowns and overwhelm, you’re not alone.
With the right tools and strategies, you can help your child feel steady, safe, and ready to handle holiday excitement—even when routines are flipped upside down.
Learn How to Manage Holiday Dysregulation for Your Neurodiverse Family
Walk into the holiday season with confidence, instead of on eggshells, equipped with essential insights and strategies to support regulation for your family.
Ensure a smoother start to 2025
Ever notice how the first few weeks of the new year often come with more meltdowns and dysregulation than usual?
While it’s easy to chalk it up to the transition back to school, the real cause often goes back even further. Regulation—and dysregulation—are cumulative. What the nervous system experiences today can influence behavior tomorrow, next week, and beyond, especially for neurodivergent individuals.
During the holiday season, the nervous system faces an intense mix of sensory triggers that are more frequent, less familiar, and often harder to manage than at any other time of the year.
With the right accommodations, sensory strategies, and mindset shifts in place during November and December, you can make a significant difference in how your family feels and functions come January.
We’ll talk about:
Why the holidays are so dysregulating to neurodivergent individuals
Mindset shifts that will improve your outlook on the holiday season
Accommodations you can put in place so you don’t have to avoid specific holiday festivities and don’t have to worry about sensory overwhelm
Regulation strategies to integrate throughout the holiday break for a more calm and regulated household
