Holidays often look joyful from the outside, but for many children they can be overwhelming. Routines shift. Bedtimes slide. Houses get louder. Excitement mixes with exhaustion. Even happy events can feel stressful to a child’s nervous system. Children communicate this through their behavior. They may cling more, cry more easily, become more energetic, or act out. They may regress in small ways, asking for help with things they usually handle independently. These behaviors are not misbehavior. They are a child’s way of saying, “I need help regulating.” for more information: www.instituteofchildpsychology.com/
