From Toddler Tantrums to Big Kid Struggles: How to Manage Holiday Meltdowns Like a Pro

Raised Resilient: Help Your Highly Sensitive Child - A podcast by Dr. Hilary Mandzik - Psychologist

The holidays are magical for children. There’s a constant stream of fun activities, sugar, and presents. But all of that excitement and schedule changes can also bring tantrums, meltdowns, difficulties with impulse control, and lots of big feelings.   In this week’s episode, I give you actionable strategies to support your child through the holidays by paying attention to their schedule and cues, making a plan ahead of time, and knowing when to cut your losses and head home.    Here’s the thing: It’s not if your child will have a meltdown this holiday season – it’s when. If we expect that our child will struggle at some point during all of the holiday excitement, we’ll be so much better prepared to support them when it actually happens. And after listening to today’s episode, you’ll be ready to do just that.   Connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raisedresilient/   FREE Holiday Survival Guide for Parents!: https://www.raisedresilient.com/holiday   Book a virtual coaching session with me! www.raisedresilient.com/coaching
