ABA on Tap presents 'Holiday ABA with Mike and Dan,' (Part 2 of 2)

Get ready to navigate family gatherings with ease! In this episode, Mike and Dan are unwrapping the essential conversations so the surprises are all about cheer.

Priming is the name of the game--talking with kids and family members before big events, covering topics from managing sensory overload and food expectations (balance, not control!) to setting boundaries and dealing with tricky relatives. The idea is  ensuring your kids and family members feel prepared, supported, and less stressed for a smoother, happier family time for everyone! 

What You'll Learn:

• Setting the Scene: How to prepare kids for crowds, noise, and new environments.
• Food Talk: Shifting from restriction to body trust around holiday treats.
• Boundary Basics: Teaching kids to say "no" and manage unwanted attention.
• Handling Awkward Questions: Scripts for dealing with intrusive questions from family.
• Managing Expectations: Discussing gifts, attention, and potential conflicts.
• Escape Plans: Creating a signal for when they need a break.
