Send a text and share your thoughts!

Holiday events can bring excitement, but also overwhelm, refusal, and emotional dysregulation for many neurodivergent and emotionally intense children. In this episode, we answer a heartfelt listener question and unpack a simple, memorable framework to help you protect peace, support your child, and get the M-O-S-T out of the holiday season.

If your child struggles with sensory overload, big feelings, outfit battles, or saying “no” to every activity, you’re not alone. 

In this episode you’ll learn how to:
 • Notice early signs of overwhelm before refusal turns into a meltdown
 • Use supportive strategies that help your child feel safe and understood
 • Create holiday plans that lower stress and increase connection
 • Work together as a family to make gatherings more peaceful and meaningful

This episode will help you shift from dreading the season to navigating it with confidence, compassion, and calm.
