10 HOLIDAY STRESSORS FOR KIDS WITH LEARNING AND ATTENTION ISSUES

Holidays can be a time to make memories and spend time with family. They can also be a time of stress for kids with learning and attention issues. Here are 10 stressors to look out for, and ways to help.

DRESSING UP

The problem: Some kids are sensitive to the texture of certain fabrics. Others just don’t like wearing things like tights, ties or dressy shoes. The feel of dress clothes can be so annoying, in fact, it can cause kids to get upset.

How you can help: Consider whether it’s better to have casual and calm or fancy and fussy. If dressy clothes are unavoidable, try to make your child as comfortable as possible.

  • Buy soft, cotton clothing.
  • Remove itchy tags.
  • And bring everyday clothes for your child to change into as soon as he can.
