Tips to help parents survive the holidays with Dr. Tamara Soles

Om avsnittet

Perhaps you are looking forward to the holidays or perhaps you are not. Unwanted comments from family members judging how you are parenting your child, big emotions from your child because they are tired and overwhelmed, and hanging out with that family member that always drinks too much and says uncomfortable comments. (sigh)

In today's episode, I chatted with child psychologist Dr. Tamara Soles (based in Montreal) and asked her all the questions you need answered to help you throughout this holiday season.

Here is what we chatted about:

How to support your child's big emotions/tantrums during family gatherings
How to support neurodivergent children
How to set boundaries with family members that are racist, sexist or behave inappropriately
What to do when a family member tries to parent your child or judge the way you are parenting them
How to navigate the holidays with young kids if you just got divorced
What to say to your child when they don't say thank you and do not seem grateful for the gift they received
How to support a child with social anxiety during the holidays
