Holiday Stress & Your Child

The holidays are a fun and joyous time, but also a very busy one, and holiday stress and anxiety in children is a common occurrence.

During the holidays, there are lots of fun activities and events going on, both at home and at school. And while that can be a good thing, the reality is that all that hustle and bustle means schedules are often out of whack, bedtimes get pushed back, and routines are disrupted.

As a result, it’s inevitable that kids may feel some degree of holiday stress.
