When the holidays end, many families expect everything to return to normal right away. But nervous systems don’t work on a calendar.

After days filled with excitement, change, and stimulation, it’s common for both children and adults to feel more reactive, tired, or emotionally sensitive. This doesn’t mean something is wrong, it means bodies are catching up.

Irritability, clinginess, and meltdowns are often signs that rest and predictability are needed, not more pressure.

Slowing down after the holidays isn’t a step backward. It’s part of regulation.

Give yourselves time. 🤍

Holiday gatherings can be exciting and overwhelming, especially for kids.

Preparing them ahead of time, building in breaks, and knowing you have an exit plan can make a big difference in how their nervous system handles the day. These small supports help children feel safer, more regulated, and more able to participate in their own way.

Remember: leaving early, stepping outside, or taking a pause isn’t a failure, it’s responsive parenting.

Connection matters more than staying longer. 🤍🎄

Big emotions don’t mean your child needs to be sent away, they mean something feels like too much.

When kids are overwhelmed, their nervous system isn’t ready for logic or consequences. What helps first is connection. A calm adult, steady presence, and words that name what’s happening can help their body settle.

Co-regulation teaches children how to regulate themselves over time. It’s not about being permissive or ignoring boundaries, it’s about helping them feel safe enough to calm down.

You don’t need to do this perfectly. Showing up is enough. Try this tonight.💙

The holidays can be full of meaning and they can also be a lot.

For children, this season often comes with changes in routine, louder environments, unfamiliar faces, and higher expectations. When all of that stacks up, their nervous system can become overwhelmed.

Those big reactions you may be seeing aren’t a sign of “bad behavior” or something you’re doing wrong. They’re a child’s way of communicating that something feels like too much.

During this time of year, one of the most supportive things you can offer your child is your own calm presence. Slowing down, softening expectations, and choosing connection over perfection can make a real difference.

You don’t have to make the holidays flawless. You just need to make them feel safe.💚

Supporting your child’s emotional world starts with the smallest moments, like slowing down to read together. These everyday connections are the foundation of secure attachment and emotional regulation.

Consistency matters. Whether you’re processing, maintaining, or simply checking in, your mental health deserves regular attention, not just crisis care.
