Holiday gatherings can be joyful — and for highly sensitive kids, they can also be a lot. The noise, the people, the excitement, the expectations. This re-released episode revisits a topic so many families struggle with: holiday meltdowns that seem to pop up right before (or during) events.
In this episode, we talk through how to support your sensitive child around holiday outings — from gentle preparation beforehand to what actually helps when emotions start running high. You’ll hear practical, parent-friendly strategies that focus on regulation, connection, and flexibility.
Because big feelings don’t mean you’re doing anything wrong — they mean your child’s nervous system needs support. With a few simple shifts, holiday gatherings can feel more manageable, more connected, and a little less overwhelming for everyone.
