Are you wondering how on earth your Orchid Kid will manage all the stress-inducing elements of the impending holiday season?

Join us for an insightful and empowering one-hour workshop designed to support parents and caregivers of Orchid Kids—children who are exceptionally sensitive and perceptive, often thriving in nurturing environments but struggling under stress.

The holiday season can be a particularly challenging time for Orchid kids and their families: changes in routine, sensory overload, specific social expectations and more can totally overwhelm Orchid kids. This workshop will help them find a way to do more than just survive the season–we’ll show you how they can thrive!

During this workshop, you’ll get the tools and strategies needed to anticipate the many challenges your Orchid will face during the holidays. Instead of panicking about what’s ahead, you’ll learn to prepare them lovingly how to thrive amid all the hubbub, stress and changes to their routine.

In this workshop, you’ll be ready for the season! What you’ll learn:

  • Strategies to identify general and specific challenges likely to arise for your Orchid over the holidays
  • Concrete ideas for helping prepare them for sensory challenges
  • Strategies for helping them manage moments of overwhelm
  • Strategies for managing expectations of family members who may have different ideas for how to support your Orchid

Who should attend

  • Parents and caregivers of children with developmental or medical diagnoses.
  • Educators and professionals working with Orchid Kids.
