The holidays can bring joy and connection, along with disrupted routines, heightened expectations and added stress for families with young children. In this virtual member event, join host Katrina Macasaet for candid stories from families and the professionals who support them. Together, we will explore how seasonal stress can impact children’s regulation and parent-child interactions, and what helps when emotions run high and relationships fall out of sync.

Participants will gain practical, relationship-based strategies to support regulation and repair, helping families move toward holiday experiences that are connected, responsive and good enough.
