Homeschooling special needs kids: Protecting PEACE during the holidays | 131

Ho, ho, ho, Homeschool mom!

December can be both joyful and overwhelming—especially when holiday gatherings pile up and your kids hit their social limit.

In this episode of The Homeschool Well Podcast, we talk honestly about holiday socializing and how to figure out how much is enough for your family—particularly if you’re homeschooling special needs learners or managing sensory sensitivities alongside your homeschool curriculum. Holiday events, family gatherings, and schedule changes can quickly lead to burnout—for both kids and moms!

In this conversation, we share practical strategies to help homeschool families navigate holiday socializing while protecting emotional regulation, connection, and peace.

You’ll learn:

-How holiday expectations impact children when homeschooling special needs

-Simple ways to adapt your homeschool curriculum during busy seasons

-Three essential tools for calmer holidays

-How doing less can actually improve learning, behavior, and relationships

-Why rest and balance matter just as much as academics during the holidays

This episode is especially encouraging for homeschool moms who feel pressured to “do it all” in December. You’ll be reminded that stepping back, simplifying expectations, and choosing PEACE supports long-term homeschool learning and emotional health.

We pray this helps you!

Christmas blessings,

Kim and Jenny
