#5 is the post that answers, “Is this a phase… or something more?”
This blog helps you sort out what’s typical when it comes to kids’ social skills, when it might be time to look a little closer, and how to support your child if friendships, playdates, or “fitting in” feel especially hard right now.

If your kid unwrapped a phone or tablet for Christmas… welcome to the new family member. 😅📱
Before screen time turns into a daily power struggle, try media mindfulness: noticing what screens do to our mood, energy, and behavior—then adjusting on purpose.

We made a FREE Family Media Mindfulness Plan to help you:
✅ decide the purpose of the device
✅ set clear (doable) boundaries
✅ choose “time & place” rules that actually stick
✅ build accountability without constant arguing

Okay parents… it’s three days before Christmas and my brain is basically 14 tabs open. 🎄

So here’s an easy family connection thing that actually works: use these 5 dinner table questions (or car ride questions) to get kids talking. No big talk, no pressure.

Save this for the Christmas countdown.

How many squares can you check off? 👀🎄

Holiday Parent Bingo: (for parents of all types of kids!)

If you’ve explained sensory overload to a relative, let your kid wear the same comfy outfit again, served dessert for dinner, or watched a Christmas movie way past bedtime… congratulations, you’re officially doing the real work of parenting a human nervous system, not a Hallmark movie.

You’re not alone, you’re not doing it wrong, and none of this disqualifies you from being a good parent. Honestly, it’s kind of the opposite. 😉

What are your favorite ways to take a mental health break during the crazy holiday season? Clark Griswold level creative answers only. What works for you in the heat of the moment?

When you get home from a holiday party and your neurodivergent kid falls apart… it’s often not “bad behavior.” It’s masking → decompression.

Kids with ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivities, or anxiety can use all their energy to look regulated in public. Then they get home (their safe place) and the mask drops.

It can look like: big tears, explosive anger, all the “NOs,” shutdown, hyperactivity, tummy aches, clingy, or control-seeking.

That’s a nervous system exhale (sometimes called restraint collapse).

Try: snack + water + comfy clothes + quiet + low demands + connection.

A holiday reminder from your local therapist: festive caffeine can fuel anxiety.
→ Protect your nervous system 💚

I will not rest until the halls are decked🎄🔔❤️

For many people with ADHD, hyperactivity can show up as bursts of motivation, creativity, and holiday enthusiasm
In therapy, we help clients learn how to work with their nervous system, honoring energy when it’s there and supporting rest when it’s needed.

Wishing you a season that holds both joy and balance.

If December had a vibe, it might be this: over caffeinated, overscheduled, and held together by sticky notes and sheer willpower. 😵‍💫✨

To the moms (and dads) juggling work, kids, appointments, traditions, and the Elf on the Shelf—no wonder your nervous system is tired.

You are not a holiday production manager. You’re a human. It’s okay to drop a ball, say no, or ask for help (yes, even from a therapist).
