A holiday Q&A
In your opinion, what is the biggest obstacle that children with challenges must face during the holiday period?
From Parent Coach and A Wild Ride creator/author Mary Scribner:
The biggest obstacle that children with challenges face during the holidays is having stressed out parents who are trying to do too much. Drained, well-meaning parents who drag their overtired kids to just one more store, one more party, one more batch of baked cookies, one more special holiday event, one more family gathering....STOP! Feeling overwhelmed, these sensitive kids become anxious and exhausted and cease to cope. They need parents who realize they can't do it all and are willing to set realistic expectations for themselves and their children.
