Season 3: Ep 1 - Why Kids Fall Apart After Christmas
from The Parent Pod · host Rachel Russell from Quite Frankly Coaching
If your kids seem to be falling apart after Christmas, with more meltdowns, more tears, and bigger reactions, you are not imagining it, and you are not doing anything wrong.In this episode, I talk about why kids often struggle once the Christmas build-up is over. Using a nervous system lens, I explain what is really going on underneath post-Christmas meltdowns, why behaviour can worsen when things slow down, and why emotional release is a sign of safety, not failure.This episode is for parents who expected things to feel easier after Christmas and are instead feeling confused, tired, or questioning themselves. We look at what kids’ nervous systems have been holding, why it all comes out now, and how connection and co-regulation help children settle again.If the days after Christmas feel harder than you expected, this one is for you.Stay rad
