That “tantrum in aisle 7” wasn’t defiance. It was a nervous system waving a white flag 🏳️
For many kids, especially those who are sensitive, anxious, or neurodivergent, December can be overstimulating. What looks like “acting out” may actually be a nervous system on overload.
When we understand the “why” behind the meltdown, we can respond with support instead of shame.
Our child and adolescent therapists can help you understand your child’s triggers and build calmer routines this season 💙
Have you noticed your child getting more overwhelmed in busy stores or loud events?
