December's Webinar

Holiday + Social Anxiety

The holidays can be a perfect storm for anxious kids with loud gatherings, unstructured days, new environments, and the pressure to “have fun.” It’s no wonder anxiety spikes this time of year. In this webinar, you’ll learn why social situations feel so overwhelming for kids, what to do before and during gatherings to help them feel more secure, and how to balance your child’s needs with family expectations. You’ll walk away with tools to reduce stress, prepare for transitions, and help your child stay regulated when things get busy.

Perfect for parents of children all ages, but especially ages 4-8

Learn clear, practical tools to help the holidays feel more manageable, more connected, and a lot less overwhelming for everyone.

In this session, you will learn:

  • Why overstimulation and “forced fun” can be so triggering for anxious kids

  • Prepare your child before events so they feel supported, not pressured

  • Reduce overstimulation and manage transitions without meltdowns

  • Balance family expectations while still honoring your child’s needs
