Summer is supposed to be fun, right? So why do so many children seem more emotional, clingy, irritable, or dysregulated once school is out?
In this episode of The Art of Attachment, we'll explore why summer can be surprisingly challenging for children's nervous systems. We'll discuss how changes in routine, increased family time, transitions, and sensory overload can activate attachment needs and lead to behaviors that often confuse parents and caregivers. You'll leave with practical strategies and creative activities to help children feel safe, connected, and regulated throughout the summer months.
