Christmas can be a lot for neurodivergent kids. Every routine moves, there's more noise, more people and more expectations, and meltdowns often follow. It isn't ungratefulness. It's too much, all at once, with nowhere to go.
This 8-page plan helps you shape the holidays around your child's nervous system, so the day works for them too.
Inside you'll get:
Why Christmas is so hard, in plain language
Six steps to a calmer Christmas, from previewing the day to planning the recovery day
12 phrase swaps for the moments that usually go wrong
What to do when relatives comment, presents overwhelm, or lunch won't happen
A note for educators on the last weeks of term
A fill-in Christmas plan for every event
