Holiday & Family Stress

How does the added stress of the holidays impact a child's social-emotional development? How does the added stress of the holidays impact a family's functioning? Are there ways we can support children and families in Early Intervention throughout the holidays that would help reduce stress and improve family functioning? These are some of the questions that will be discussed during the reflective practice group this month. Service Coordinators will consider their work and how it impacts children and families, especially during the holidays. Also, resources for families will be shared to help manage and alleviate stress during the holidays.
