All the fun of the holiday season can throw off family routines, making it harder for both parents and kids to stay emotionally regulated. Busy season or not, children will follow your lead in how they should respond to the highs and lows of daily life. If you are not regulated, then you cannot help your dysregulated kiddo.

The holiday season can usher in joy and celebration; however, in our broken world, children often find themselves processing grief. Be it grieving the death of a family member, divorce, being in foster care, or processing a terminal illness. While children and adults both grieve, it may not look the same.

As the holiday season approaches normal rhythms of home, work, and school, life can get disrupted. The sights, sounds, and smells of the holiday season can be overwhelming for any child. Here are some tips to help create a routine to best support your child during the holiday season.

The holidays and traveling can be very difficult for a family. Having or managing a child with special needs or sociocultural struggles adds another layer of preparation for this season.
