The changing seasons, breaks, and travel can throw off any routine, leading to stress for us and big emotions for our kids.

We welcomed back the incredible BCBA Sarah Wilburn to share her professional and personal strategies for managing child behavior during any major shift in routine. Sarah unpacks the foundational reason behind most meltdowns: the simple loss of predictability.

In this powerful, insightful episode, Sarah shares her wisdom on:

• The crucial role of predictability in a child’s emotional regulation (and why removing it causes dysregulation).
• How to communicate expectations clearly to prepare your children for travel, new environments, and family gatherings.
• Managing the inevitable transition from long breaks back to school.
• The simple language and strategies you can use to minimize meltdowns during any big change in routine.

If you have ever felt defeated by a sudden meltdown during a family trip or a long weekend, this episode is packed with tools and grace to help you navigate transitions with flexibility and confidence.
