Sometimes kids in care will self-sabotage bigger days like trips, birthdays, or holidays.

This can happen for a variety of reasons including anxiety, to gain some control over the situation (better to sabotage than to be let down), they may feel they don’t deserve the special moment, or they may have guilt if their sibling or parent doesn’t get to also enjoy the event. Additionally, it may be related to their neurotype or a disability, they may want to avoid having the attention on them… And it also may be a mix of reasons too.

There is so much we can do as caregivers to support the child through these moments. This video is just a small sampling of things to try.

I welcome the community to chime in on how you support kids who may do this. How do you prepare leading up to the day? What do you do on the day to support as much as possible? Drop your comments below! ⬇️
