🎄 Holiday Tip #6: Prep for Sensory Overload
Lights, music, crowds, and smells can overwhelm quickly. Plan quiet breaks and have an exit strategy ready. Sometimes, stepping away for a few minutes can make all the difference.

🎄 Holiday Tip #5: Use Timers for Transitions
Timers help children prepare to stop preferred activities—especially helpful during parties or playtime. Having a clear endpoint can make transitions smoother and less stressful.

🎄 Holiday Tip #4: Predictability Brings Peace
One way to reduce anxiety is by using visual schedules or daily plans. When your child knows what to expect, transitions become much easier. Remember, routine = regulation! Use visuals for gift-opening order, mealtimes, or travel plans to reduce anxiety both at home and on the go.

🎄 Holiday Tip #3: Reinforce the Good Moments
Catch and praise calm bodies, kind words, and flexibility. Positive attention goes a long way during busy days. Celebrate the small wins—it makes all the difference!

🎄 Holiday Tip #2: Teach Calm-Down Strategies Ahead of Time
Practice techniques like deep breathing, squeezing hands, or asking for breaks before big emotions hit. The more your child can practice in a calm environment, the easier it will be to use these strategies when needed.
