The holiday season is officially upon us! And with that comes only magical moments of joy and peace and love.. just kidding! Between the family photo sessions gone wrong and the yearly debate between cooking or takeout, the holidays are complicated. And they get even more complex when your children with disabilities face new foods, sensory overload, changes in routine, and even unsupportive family members. Today we’re chatting all about how to keep the holidays happy.. including mom guilt, letting go of traditions, how to not spoil our children, dealing with behaviors, and sometimes even sending everyone to bed so we can just decorate the house ourselves! Oh and don’t worry, we’re singing lots of holiday songs along the way. Sending extra love to you all this time of year. Happy holidays, friends!
