Holidays can bring out both the magic and the meltdowns, especially when you’re raising an emotionally intense child. And while we often focus on surviving the big emotions, the siblings in the family feel these moments deeply too. Hurt feelings, frustration, confusion, and walking on eggshells can quietly shape their holiday experience.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to create real sibling peace during the holiday season… not by forcing picture-perfect moments, but by building small, meaningful opportunities for connection that fit your child’s wiring and your family’s reality.

Whether you’ve seen gift-opening go sideways, felt the tension rise during family gatherings, or watched siblings withdraw or struggle, this conversation will breathe fresh hope and some help into your home this season.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

·       Prep each child for the holiday so everyone feels supported from the start.

·       Build simple sibling traditions that work for emotionally intense kids.

·       Stay flexible and calm when holiday moments don’t go as planned.

·       Support siblings well without shaming the child who’s struggling.

If you're longing for more peace, connection, and understanding in your home this Christmas, you’re in the right place. Let’s make space for small moments that matter.
