Supporting Anxious Children Through the Christmas Holidays

The build-up to Christmas can be absolutely lovely, and for a lot of children it can also feel intense. Routines shift, excitement builds, everything gets louder and busier, and their little nervous systems can start to wobble.

Here are a few gentle ways to help your child stay regulated over the holidays:

Keep a tiny bit of routine
You don’t need anything strict, just a few predictable touchpoints in the day. Regular mealtimes, a bedtime routine, or a quiet moment after busy outings. These small anchors help children feel safe.

Help the body slow down
Try a simple starfish breath. Hand out wide like a starfish, trace around each finger slowly with the other hand, breathe in on the way up, breathe out on the way down. It’s simple, grounding, and children usually take to it really well.

Create a cosy calm space
A blanket, a favourite book, something to colour or fiddle with. Just a small space where they can retreat when everything feels a bit too much.

Put words to the feelings
Naming the feeling helps take the fear out of it. “That feels like worry, doesn’t it?” or “Your tummy’s doing that fluttery thing.” It helps them feel understood and gives them back a sense of control.

Regulate with them
Your breath, tone, and pace really do set the pace for theirs. When you soften, they soften.

Give them a chance to decompress
After busy family gatherings or full-on days, children often need some quiet play, stories, drawing, or anything gentle that brings them back to themselves.

The holidays don’t have to feel overwhelming for sensitive children. With a few simple tools, they can feel safer, calmer, and more able to enjoy the magic of Christmas. And if your child needs a little extra support right now, I’m here if you need me.

Last night I swapped my usual evening at the laptop supporting clients for something a little different… I went to my daughter’s school and learnt how to make a Christmas wreath!

It was really therapeutic, the greenery, the creativity, the chatter… such a lovely change of pace. I had so much fun and I came home with a Christmas wreath for my door, I still need more practice but not bad for my first attempt.🎄

Helping Children Who Struggle with School Anxiety

I’ve been working with so many children lately who are struggling with school phobia or worries about going to school. It’s something I’m seeing more and more, and it can be really tough for both children and parents.

Here are some gentle strategies that can make a real difference.

Listen and validate
Let your child know their feelings are okay. Instead of trying to fix it straight away, try saying, “I can see that feels really hard for you.”
Feeling heard helps calm the nervous system.

Keep routines consistent
Predictability creates safety. Try to keep mornings calm and steady, with breakfast, getting dressed, and leaving the house in the same order each day.

Use small steps
If school feels overwhelming, break it down. Start with visiting the playground, saying hello to a teacher, or staying for a short part of the day.
Success grows from small wins.

Build calm and confidence at home
Relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and gentle breathing before school can help children begin their day from a calm place.

Focus on connection, not correction
When children feel anxious, what they need most is connection, extra cuddles, positive attention, and reassurance that they are loved no matter what.

Encourage their voice
Talk about what feels difficult at school and what helps them feel safe. Creative tools like drawing, storytelling, or a “worry journal” can make it easier for children to express themselves.

Balance the conversations about school
It’s easy for after-school chats to focus on the negatives, like who said what or what went wrong.
Try to gently shift the focus towards the positives too.

Ask questions such as, “What made you smile today?”, “Who did you enjoy spending time with?”, “What kind thing did you or someone else do?”, “What are you proud of from today?”, or “What was the best thing you learned?”

This helps your child’s mind associate school with safety, connection, and positive experiences.

If your child struggles with school anxiety, hypnotherapy can help them feel calmer, more confident, and more in control.

I received a lovely message from a client that purchased a personalised recording to help with their daughters exam focus and confidence. Following the advice given and listening to the recording every day in the run up to the exam she passed the exam with flying colours, well done 👏 🏆

“I just wanted to let you know that both of ***** exams went really well! Exactly as she’d mentally rehearsed she woke excited (nervous too of course) and during the exam was super focused and on several occasions when she’d forgotten something, it came back to her a few questions on.

Exactly as per the recording! Thank you so much!!

We got her results this week and she passed with flying colours (94% in her result today incredible).”

They felt that the recording helped so much they’ve even booked in for another one to help with sports performance.

This morning I spotted a red admiral butterfly. When I was little, they seemed to be everywhere, but now I don’t see them as often. Maybe they’re less common… or maybe it’s because I have a 4 year old that I’m slowing down, noticing the little things, and really seeing the wonders around me. A lovely reminder to pause and enjoy those fleeting, magical moments in nature.

Hormones don’t just influence our bodies, they affect our brains and coordination too.

When estrogen levels drop, it can change the way neurotransmitters like serotonin (mood, focus) and dopamine (motivation, balance, coordination) work. That’s why many people feel more clumsy or ditsy around their period.

Even after menopause, those shifts can still ripple through the nervous system. Our bodies keep their rhythms, and sometimes they show up in unexpected ways.

I’ll be honest, I still get it. Just this week I:
👀 Walked straight into a metal pole and jabbed my eye (even though I knew it was there)
☔️ The next day, I accidentally kept hitting people with my umbrella
🌿 Then got caught up in brambles
👁 And when the plasterer moved that same pole just slightly… I nearly jabbed the other eye two days later!

It’s a reminder that hormones don’t stop shaping how we feel, think, and move — even post-menopause.

💡 The good news is, awareness helps. Supporting your nervous system with hydration, good sleep, balanced meals, and even simple grounding techniques can make a big difference.

Have you ever noticed feeling extra clumsy or ditsy at certain times too? 👇
