The holiday "magic" is wonderful, but we understand that for our community, the aftermath can feel a bit like a sensory storm. šŖļø
Whether you are navigating Autism support, Dementia care, or specific hearing needs, the shift from holiday chaos back to the "everyday" is a big mountain to climb. At Auld Things Betty, we believe that Stability Matters most during these transitions.
Today, we arenāt rushing into "New Year, New You." Instead, we are focusing on a gentle resetārebuilding the rhythms that make our loved ones feel safe and successful. Progress is a marathon, not a sprint, and dedicated care starts with a calm environment.
Here are 3 ways we are re-establishing routine this week:
Visual Schedules: Getting those familiar charts back on the fridge to provide a roadmap for the day. šŗļø
Gradual Bedtimes: Shifting sleep schedules back by 15 minutes a night to protect everyoneās cellular energy. š“
Clearing Sensory Clutter: Gently tucking away the flashing lights and "loud" decorations to create a sanctuary of peace. šÆļø
We are in this transition with you, finding our way back to balance together. Whatās the one routine your family missed most during the holidays? Share with us below! š
