In this episode of TRIBE Talk, we examine the post-Christmas return to routine through a trauma-informed lens, exploring why transitions after the holidays can trigger heightened emotions, anxiety, and behavioural challenges for children with trauma histories. We unpack how disruption to structure, sleep, and expectations can activate stress responses rather than defiance.

Using insights from behavioural science and trauma-informed practice, this episode shares practical strategies to rebuild predictability, support regulation, and ease children back into everyday routines with compassion and confidence—helping adults set children up for stability rather than struggle in the weeks ahead.
