Holiday excitement can quickly become holiday overwhelm for sensitive children. Sensory overload from lights, crowds, and changes in routine may manifest as meltdowns, withdrawal, or sleep disruptions.

Cultivating gratitude can transform how children experience the holidays, shifting focus from getting to appreciating connections and experiences. Try simple family gratitude practices: sharing daily "thankful moments," creating a gratitude jar, or making thank-you cards together. If your child struggles to find joy, our therapists can help develop positive perspectives. Call (330) 318-3436 for support.

Children often struggle to articulate feelings about holiday family gatherings, especially with complex family structures or after recent changes. Creating safe spaces for them to express worries about split holidays, meeting new family members, or missing absent loved ones is crucial. Need guidance? Our therapists specialize in helping children navigate these complex emotions. Call (330) 318-3436.
