Season 2 Episode 54

Send a text and share your thoughts!

The holidays can bring joy, laughter, and… total overwhelm, especially when you’re parenting a child who struggles with emotional dysregulation. If family gatherings, travel, or changes in routine often lead to meltdowns and stress, this episode is for you.

Join me as I share one of our hardest holiday moments and what it taught me about preparing differently. You’ll learn how to establish your Holiday P.A.C.E.- a simple, practical approach to protect routines, anticipate challenges, create calm spaces, and examine expectations.

Because when you prepare with intention, you protect your peace, and that’s what turns chaos into connection.

 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why holiday overwhelm often intensifies emotional dysregulation in kids
  • How to prepare your child (and yourself) before the chaos begins
  • Simple ways to build calm and connection into busy days
  • What small mindset shifts can bring more peace to your whole family
