Holidays can be stressful on so many levels. Give yourself permission to have accommodation plans in place. Your kid on a tablet, eating different food in a different room, needing to leave before other siblings are ready -these are not fails.
REFRAME:
If your child can transition to the car & into someone else’s home -win.
If your child can self-regulate with a screen in a space full of people, sounds, & smells -win.
If your child could take space before having a meltdown -win.
If your child agrees to leave with one parent, even if the other parent and/or siblings stay -win.

Go with an attitude of confidence & not apology. You’re doing what’s best for your child’s needs & helping them engage in the world.

The truth is there are seasons where we are irreplaceable. Not just anyone can step in. It’s all consuming & while we carry the full load we also are given (but don’t have to keep) the judgment & ridicule of others for our “anxious parenting.” Trust your gut. What you’re doing matters.

It can be painful & exhausting to be encouraged or shamed to have “better self-care” when parenting a PDAer. Few can comprehend the constant hypervigilence that’s necessary in the harder seasons (years…).
You’re not doing anything wrong.
It truly can be as impossible as it feels.
What we really need are people who believe us, trust us, & will stand by us even when they can’t “fix it.”
