“Is This Normal?”
A Gentle Emotional Check-In for Parents
After the Holidays
January often brings emotional shifts for children and parents alike. This brief resource offers reassurance and context for common post-holiday changes — without pressure to fix, rush, or escalate.
While written with post-holiday transitions in mind, many parents also find it helpful after other long breaks, such as summer vacation or extended time away from school.
Designed as a calm check-in rather than a guide, it helps parents feel steadier, less alone, and supported as routines and emotions begin to settle.
