The season of twinkly lights, forced joy, digestive overconfidence⌠and discovering exactly how regulated you arenât. Let me say this gently, but with bells on:
đ
THE FESTIVE SEASON IS A NERVOUS SYSTEM STRESS TEST.
đ
If Christmas turns your child feral, itâs not because theyâre ungrateful, broken, or âbeing a bratâ.
đ
Itâs because overstimulation + deadlines + expectations turn small humans into emotional grenades. And hereâs the bit nobody puts on the wrapping paper:
đ
CHRISTMAS CO-OPERATIION IS NOT TRAINED. IT'S RELEASED.
đ
Once the feelings are shed, your child becomes *mysteriously*:
đ Helpful
đ Flexible
đ Capable of brushing their own hair.... and carrying mince pies without screaming
đ
Magic. (Itâs not magic.)
