You cannot blend in when you are meant to shine. ⁠
⁠
Never will we dim the light of any child trying to be free, have fun, and express themselves. So many of us could really do with being able to see the world through a child's eyes and feel the enjoyment. ✨ ⁠

We know bullying exists, and it is an unfortunate reality that we have to face. While we can't shield our children from every challenge, we continue to instil in them the importance of kindness [& remind others around us!].⁠
In this ongoing journey, stories like 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' become beacons of hope and love for our hearts.⁠
⁠
Acknowledging the existence of bullying is the first step. ⁠
Teaching our children and future generations to embrace kindness is a continuous effort. 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' stands as a powerful example that, despite initial judgments, everyone is beloved and remarkable in their own way. ⁠
⁠
We can use this example to teach our children that it's okay to be different. It serves as a reminder of how much they are loved, even if it takes others a little longer for others to see it. The timeframe in which others appreciate our uniqueness is a reflection on them, not our children.⁠

While Christmas brings joy, it also carries its fair share of stress and worry for many. We believe in creating an inclusive celebration. ⁠
With that in mind, here are some tips to help create a calm and inclusive Christmas environment. ⁠
⁠
Do you have any additional tips to share?⁠
⁠
Autism-Friendly Christmas Tips 🌈⁠
⁠
🌟 Lights 🌟⁠
⁠
Choose lights with adjustable brightness and flashing options to accommodate sensory preferences.⁠
⁠
🌟Take a Break🌟⁠
⁠
Christmas can be intense! Ensure there are breaks, quiet spaces, and keep headphones handy.⁠
⁠
🌟Unpredictability🌟⁠
⁠
Prepare for the festive period by creating a calendar. Review it together daily to help manage potential overwhelm.⁠
⁠
🌟Eating🌟⁠
⁠
No pressure on the Christmas feast! Nuggets or Pizza are perfectly okay. It's about what works for your loved ones.⁠
⁠
🌟Having Fun🌟⁠
⁠
Create or play games that include everyone. Be flexible with the rules and practice leading up to Christmas Day!⁠
⁠
🌟Presents🌟⁠
⁠
Not everyone enjoys presents or the act of opening them in front of others. Listen to preferences and respect individual comfort levels.⁠
⁠
Spread the love and understanding this Christmas, and also, we encourage you not to be so hard on yourself. Christmas is what you make it and you can make it your own! 🎄💙 ⁠
