What if I told you it was possible for your restrictive eater to enjoy Thanksgiving too?

We just need to change our expectations!

If you are eating away from your home…

1. Have a good meal/snack before you go – Stick to their more preferred foods and mealtime routine because now is not the time to change the brand or the way the food is presented - they will see tons of new foods at Thanksgiving.

2. Bring at least one preferred food item with you - I wouldn’t (happily) go to a new restaurant or eat at a friend’s house if they only served food I didn’t like, so why do we expect our children to? Bring at least one preferred food item with you so they also have a safe food to eat with the group (if they want to)

3. Plan ahead and bring regulating activities with you! - Let your child know what you have with you and that they can access these items whenever they need a break. Better yet, pick a spot in the house you’re going to where they can take a quest break from the group as needed.

If you are eating AT home…

1. Still serve a preferred snack before everyone arrives!

2. Serve food away from the table so that it’s less overwhelming

3. Prep your home with sensory break areas and walk through those options with your child before everyone arrives – try out a coloring station, pillow obstacle course, a pile of blankets to burrow under, a quiet zone with headphones ready, or maybe a food exploration table with some of the mealtime foods available to explore on their own time

ABOVE ALL… be kind to yourself. You are truly doing the best you can and so is your child.

Thanksgiving is about spending time with people you care about and it doesn’t HAVE to be centered around your child or eating new foods.

It’s one day…YOU GOT THIS.

An oldie but a goodie!!

If costumes, lots of people, speaking on demand, and nonpreferred candies are going to OVERFILL your child’s sensory cup.

It’s okay to make a NEW HALLOWEEN TRADITION.

Here are a few Halloween activities that aren’t Trick or Treating to get you started:

* Have a movie night

* Make spooky kitchen creations like white chocolate spiderwebs or dry ice fog experiments

*Take away the expectation that your child needs to dress up and have them take full control to give you a costume!

*Go on a scavenger hunt around the house to locate halloween or preferred-interest stickers

*Paint, carve, or add stickers to decorate some pumpkins

Share these activity ideas with a friend who loves spooky season but also feels overwhelmed by Halloween expectations!
