Let’s talk about something most people don’t say out loud: They’re overstimulated. Overscheduled. Over-sugared. And unless we help them make sense of it all? Cue: meltdowns, shutdowns, or wild energy you can’t get a handle on. Here’s the truth: And that starts with a few intentional conversations. Try These Holiday Scripts With Your Kids:1. To manage expectations: “There’s a lot of excitement this time of year, and not everything will go perfectly. But we’ll be together, and that’s what matters most.” 2. To handle gift disappointment or comparison: “It’s okay to feel a little let down or jealous. That doesn’t make you ungrateful, it just means you're human. Let’s talk about it.” 3. To support emotional overload: “If your body starts feeling buzzy or your brain gets foggy, that’s your signal to take a break. You can ask for space anytime.” 4. To reframe ‘magic’ without pressure: “The holidays are about moments we enjoy, not things we get. We don’t have to make everything perfect to make it special.” This is the emotional regulation work I teach inside Path to Peace.We don’t just organize schedules, we help you build systems to manage the emotional rhythm of your home. Because parenting isn’t about controlling your kids. And no season brings that out more than the holidays. You don’t have to do more to make it magical. In your corner, |

The holidays are here, and so is the pressure! To RSVP yes to everything.To host, to travel, to bake, to decorate, to volunteer, to show up with energy you don’t actually have.And to smile through it all, like it’s not draining you. Let me just say this clearly:More plans don’t equal more joy.Especially when you’re already running on fumes. This year, scaling back is the win.
