If your child struggles with food, the holidays can feel like pressure instead of joy. Keep routines consistent. Avoid food talk.⁠
⁠
Remind them - and yourself - that connection matters more than control.⁠

For many neurodivergent kids, Dopamine is the fuel that keeps their brain balanced and their emotions stable.⁠
⁠
When dopamine drops, so does energy, focus, and patience. That’s why structure, novelty, and movement aren’t “extras” - they’re essential. Supporting a child’s dopamine needs is supporting their well-being 🤍⁠

Not every child finds connection through conversation or chaos.⁠
Some connect through observation - listening, reading, or quietly existing in the room.⁠
⁠
Let them regulate in the way that feels safe 🤍⁠

The holidays bring connection, but they also bring history. Old dynamics, unspoken tension, sensory overload... sometimes love and discomfort sit at the same table.⁠
⁠
If family time feels both comforting and exhausting, you’re not doing it wrong. Healing doesn’t mean it’s easy. It means you’re noticing, protecting your peace, and showing up differently this time.⁠

Stillness doesn’t equal calm - especially for neurodivergent kids.⁠
Many children need to move before they can focus. Their bodies seek regulation through jumping, spinning, climbing, or pacing... long before a breathing exercise can even land.⁠
⁠
When we expect quiet from a dysregulated brain, we’re asking it to do the impossible.⁠

The holidays often look magical on the outside, but for kids, they can feel like a lot.⁠
✨ Routines shift.⁠
✨ Noise levels rise.⁠
✨ Food and social expectations pile up.⁠
✨ Everyone wants them to be on their “best behavior.”⁠
⁠
When kids get overwhelmed at gatherings, it doesn’t mean they’re ungrateful or misbehaving — it means they’re human. The very things adults find exciting can be overstimulating for a child’s nervous system.⁠
⁠
This season, try to see the holidays through your child’s eyes. Offer them breaks, choices, and understanding. The best gift you can give your child is not “the perfect holiday”… it’s helping them feel safe and seen. 💙⁠
