Thanks Kids Zen Inc. for these helpful tips this holiday season:

With the holidays upon us, family gatherings can be exciting… and a lot for some kids. New faces, loud rooms, changed routines, and social expectations can stir up big feelings; especially for children who are shy, anxious, or highly sensitive!

Here are a few gentle ways to help your child navigate large family groups with confidence:

1. Prepare Ahead Together → Talk about what to expect: who will be there, what the environment might feel like, and what your child can do if they start feeling overwhelmed. Predictability helps reduce anxiety.

2. Create a Safe Start → Instead of pushing for big hellos, allow your child to warm up at their own pace. A wave, a smile, or simply staying close to you at first is perfectly okay.

3. Pack Comfort Tools → Bring along items that help soothe: headphones, a fidget toy, a book, or anything familiar that helps them feel grounded.

4. Honour Their Temperament → Every child is wired differently. Sensitive, cautious, and observant kids are not “too much” or “not enough,” they simply need gentle pacing and understanding.

5. Celebrate Small Wins → Did your child say Hi? Join a game? Stay in the room a few minutes longer? That’s fantastic! These steps matter ❤️
