5 TIPS TO DE-STRESS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON


A family friendly guide for your child with special needs.

The holiday season is upon us!  Along with bringing much joy, families with children of special needs face special challenges.  Below are 5 tips to help make the holiday calm and peaceful for you and your child.
 

  1. Allow yourself to feel anxious and uneasy.  It's ok
  2. Send an email to family members ahead of time to help them understand your child (ie: how to talk to your child, how to greet your child, and anything that might scare your child).
  3. Let your child know what to expect.  Review the guest list so they know who will be there, and create a schedule for the day. 
  4. Let go of traditions that don't work.... at least for now.  Some traditions can be modified to meet your child (and your) specific need.
  5. Be flexible.  Give your child a break if he or she needs one.  Talk with the host of the party to create a safe space for your child to retreat to.
