Holiday break is here—and with kids home from school, routines can feel upside down fast. 🎄

If your family is navigating extra energy, big feelings, or schedule changes this week, you’re not alone. A little planning (and a lot of grace) can go a long way.

Here are a few simple tips to help make holiday vacation smoother:
✨ Keep a loose routine
✨ Balance activities with rest
✨ Talk through plans ahead of time
✨ Offer choices and flexibility
✨ Remember: connection matters more than perfection

You know your child best—and whatever works for your family is enough. 💛

Wisconsin Family Ties is here to support you during the holidays and all year long. Visit www.wifamilyties.org to learn more.

🌟 This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to stand with Wisconsin families. 🌟

At Wisconsin Family Ties, our statewide network of Parent Peer Specialists walks alongside parents who are navigating the challenges of raising children with mental health, behavioral, emotional, or learning needs. Every day, we offer understanding, advocacy, and hope — because no parent should have to face these challenges alone.

Your generosity makes this work possible. 💛

Whether it’s $5, $50, or any amount that feels right to you, your gift creates real, meaningful impact for families across Wisconsin. Every donation helps us reach more parents, offer more support, and continue building a community where families feel heard, empowered, and supported.

✨ If you’re able, please consider making a Giving Tuesday donation today.
Your kindness truly changes lives.

🌎💛 Today is World Kindness Day 💛🌎

Now more than ever, our communities need kindness, empathy, and love. A simple act of compassion — a listening ear, a shared meal, a moment of understanding — can make all the difference for someone facing a difficult time.

Crisis services
Housing support
Transportation assistance
Childcare resources
Food services
