National FASD worked with the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Scheme to design our very own FASD lanyards and cards, available at our webstore here: https://t.co/G5OYeJW8c1

[National FASD @NationalFASD]

Allow an easy, quick, potentially subtle way for them to let you know that they need a break or are starting to escalate. Sometimes this could be a card or a signal of some sort that they hold up if they find words difficult when they begin to escalate.

Many adults with FASD say that headphones can help them, and while we know this flips traditional parenting on its head, your loved one with FASD might benefit from earphones or access to a screen, even at the dinner table. It can help them self-regulate. ⁠

Trying for a baby?

More babies are conceived during the festive season than any other time of year. Choosing an alcohol-free pregnancy is the safest option.

Less is more. 🙅‍♂️🎄

Your loved one with FASD is likely already receiving a lot of extra sensory input outside of the home at this time of year, so consider doing less at home, decorating less, and expecting less.

[National FASD @NationalFASD]

Parents to be, this festive season, the best gift you can give your baby is a healthy start.
