Sleep and Routine Over the Holidays 😴

Neurodivergent kids often need more sleep over the holidays to make up for sleep debt. But how do you keep any kind of sleep schedule if they sleep in and aren't tired? Here are a few tips:

▪️ Did you know that wake-up time is actually more important than bedtime! Pick a latest sleep-in time that is consistent… even on weekends
▪️Avoid naps for older children, especially in the afternoons, since these disrupt nighttime sleep
▪️Use routines to signal to their body it is time to sleep —low lights, cool temperatures, weighted blankets
▪️Have sugar and screen cut-off times, boredom is a great motivator for bedtime

Sleep hygiene helps the whole family enjoy the season!💙

Managing Anxiety: Anticipation Strategies

Managing anxiety can be particularly challenging, especially before an event or a significant change. To help manage the transition anxiety, try using anticipation strategies.

📷 Previewing photos of the new environment can provide a visual understanding of the space and reduce fear of the unknown.

🏫 Visiting new places together can help build comfort and confidence.

📖 Creating a "what to expect" card can be a detailed practical guide for the upcoming changes.
