How can the holiday season turn a joyous time into a period of heightened stress for neurodiverse children? Join me, Dr. Olivia Kessel, as I share my personal journey with my daughter Alexandra, who has ADHD, and uncover some of the reasons behind increased emotional and violent outbursts during the summer holidays. We will dive deep into the science behind these behaviors, focusing on understanding these developmental challenges with practical strategies to identify triggers, maintain safety and emphasising the necessity of staying calm to prevent escalation.
Discover effective self-regulation techniques tailored specifically for neurodiverse children. From creating a designated calm space with soothing elements to exploring alternative methods like acupuncture and tapping, I'll share what has worked for Alexandra and countless others. You'll learn the importance of recognizing early warning signs of agitation and strategies to maintain your own calmness as a parent. Plus, I offer three practical tips for navigating the summer holidays: maintaining a consistent routine, incorporating physical activity, and ensuring clear communication and preparation. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that patience, self-care, and understanding are key to supporting a neurodiverse child’s growth and development.
