Summary
Even though the holidays are exciting, they can bring with it some struggles for our kids with anxiety or OCD. Often these issues are unrelated to their anxiety or OCD themes.
The holidays bring with it downtime, gatherings, new foods, busy schedules and high expectations for fun. All of which can cause our kids stress and anxiety.
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk about some of the ways the holidays can create struggles and how we can proactively minimize them.
