Summary

I love the holidays. I mean LOVE them! But my three anxious kids can hit some pretty big bumps during the holiday season. In fact, most kids who have anxiety or OCD hit a few bumps during this time of year.There is the chaos. The crowds. And then there are the new foods, constant parties, scratchy clothing, lots of socializing, busy schedule and high hopes for what they’ll get. All that leaves some pretty cranky kids by early January.In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I was asked to talk about tips to help kids with anxiety or OCD survive the holidays. I hope it helps give you some ideas!***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

0:00.0	Welcome to AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get supporting guidance through the chaos of parenting.
0:07.0	Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels.
0:11.0	Well, hello there, and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival
0:16.0	Podcast. Today we're going to be talking about a topic that somebody in the
0:20.1	AT parenting community wanted some help with and I thought well if the
0:23.9	community's wanting help with it you guys are probably wanting help with it too and
0:27.2	it didn't get picked as a topic that I'm gonna teach in the community and so I
0:32.4	thought I'll just make a podcast out of it and help many of you.
0:37.0	So as the holidays are coming up, a lot of us are super excited. I love the holidays, but I also recognize

1:13.4	holidays actually fun and not torture. Wouldn't that be nice? But first I

1:35.2	You don't know about this phenomenon, which has kind of taken over Christmas and Thanksgiving.
