Welcome to the FASD Family Life Podcast. This is the 105th episode of THE show for caregivers by a caregiver. I am Robbie Seale. I am an FASD educator, advocate and mom of five incredible people; including three teens diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. If my 30 years of parenting has taught me anything it is, that the struggle is real and so is success.

I have put together my TWELVE TIPS to help you set the stage for a Christmas the entire family can enjoy. First we need to begin with a foundational understanding that our hopes and expectations for a happy, calm, picture perfect family Christmas run counter to reality for most people. Christmas is a challenging time for many people for many reasons including financial stress, seasonal depression, painful memories, unmet expectations, and the loss of loved ones. It's okay to not-be-okay.
I invite you to settle in with with a nice hot cup of coffee me as we chat parent to parent. I will share some of the practical strategies that I use to support my family and prevent Christmas Chaos in our home.
I would love to hear from you! Share your successes and your questions with me at fasdfamilylife@gmail.com
