Holiday Meltdowns: Can You Avoid Them?

The holidays can be a stressful time for anyone, but especially for neurodivergent children. ??

They're navigating schedule changes being home from winter break, large social events at potentially unfamiliar places, and interacting with people who may not understand their needs. There's a lot to process!

More than anything, your best bet for avoiding holiday meltdowns is to prepare you and your child as best as you can before any events or busy days. Helping them understand what you'll be doing, when, and what's expected of them can give them comforting structure and confidence as they enter new environments.
