Summary: Join Erin and me today as we talk about how to survive the Holidays as special needs parents. Holidays are wonderful times to make family memories, but when we parent kids with disabilities, the extra stress of the Holidays can be hard on our kids, and therefore on us too! Holidays can be a wonderful time with family, but they can also be a stressful season. Beginning with Thanksgiving and ending with the New Year, the season is full of parties, school plays, baking, cooking, time away from home, disrupting routines, late nights, tears, laughs, long list of expectations of what makes Holidays memorable and at the end of the season, exhausted parents and exhausted kids that struggle to get back up. And when you parent kids with disabilities, you feel the chaos even more. How can you ever survive the Holiday season? The good news is, there are practical steps you can take to make it through the Holidays. And because I want you to feel you have a plan, I created a free resource for you: In this podcast Erin and I talk about what you can do to make this Holiday season a season where you truly make memories, rather than feeling as if you are merely surviving. We talk in detail through the Holiday Survival Guide, and offer practical tips and examples to help you start this season a step ahead.
