@virgomomnyc: It’s July 4th weekend, and my son has officially been on summer break for one week. For the most part, it’s been really good. But this morning? He woke up cranky, dysregulated, and disagreeing with everything. By 8 a.m., I already knew this holiday weekend was going to be one of the harder ones. For many neurotypical families, holiday weekends are filled with excitement, celebrations, and making memories. For many neurodivergent families, they can also bring an extra layer of stress. The routine that helps our kids feel safe is suddenly gone. There are unfamiliar places, louder environments, bigger crowds, unexpected changes, and so much more sensory input to process. While everyone else is looking forward to the long weekend, many of us are quietly preparing to co-regulate, stay flexible, and help our children navigate a world that suddenly feels a lot more overwhelming. Can anyone else relate? #momlife #neurodivergentparenting #parentingjourney #holidayweekend #summerbreak
