About this listen
The holidays bring joy, excitement, and special traditions — but they also bring noise, crowds, disrupted routines, and emotional overload. In this week’s episode of The Whole Child Advocate, Dominique McLellan, BCASE, shares compassionate, practical strategies to help both parents and children stay regulated during the busiest season of the year.
You’ll learn:
The early signs of sensory overload and emotional burnout
How to create sensory-friendly and emotionally safe spaces at home
The power of co-regulation — and how your calm becomes your child’s anchor
Practical tools that support nervous system regulation for all ages
Ways parents can manage their own stress so they can show up with patience and presence
Dominique explores the heart of holiday regulation, reminding parents that their job isn’t to prevent every meltdown, but to stay connected through them.
Quick Takeaway: You don’t have to fix every meltdown — just stay connected through it.
