Will sensory-friendly Santa sessions brighten your family's Christmas?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

For some children with sensory issues, the bright lights, music and general festivities around a visit to Santa in the mall can be too much.

Auckland mum Tash Vruink can't remember the last time she took her 12-year-old son, Jaxon Woolley, to the supermarket or the mall.

Hi neighbours,

For some children with sensory issues, the bright lights, music and general festivities around a visit to Santa in the mall can be too much.

Auckland mum Tash Vruink can't remember the last time she took her 12-year-old son, Jaxon Woolley, to the supermarket or the mall.

But this Christmas, he'll have the option to enjoy a Santa snap with his two younger siblings thanks to sensory-friendly photo sessions.

In December, three of Auckland's Westfield Shopping Centres will open early with dimmed lights and soft music to cater to children with sensory disorders wanting to see the big man in red. To find out more about the sessions, click here.

What are your thoughts on these sensory-friendly Santa sessions? Do you know any children who would love to see Santa at a session like this? Let us know your thoughts with us in the replies below!

The last month of the year is always busy. A hectic work schedule, last-minute shopping trips, parties and celebrations… It can be easy to neglect healthy habits leading into the holidays. So, here are five easy tips to help you stay on track this December:

✔️ Strategically plan your workouts – set a minimum number of workouts you’d like to complete in December and plan them in advance. You can always add additional workouts if you find the time

✔️ Use the App – if you’re short on time or can’t make it to the club, use the Anytime Fitness App to enjoy a workout at home. It’s free for members and provides access to over 1,100 pre-made workouts

✔️ Enjoy the weather – warmer weekends offer a great opportunity to enjoy some outdoor exercise. And where better to enjoy the outdoors than NZ!?

✔️ Head in-store – yes, shopping online makes gift giving easier! But, getting out for a little physical holiday shopping will help add activity to your day

✔️ Prioritise grocery shopping – it’s easy to fall out of the habit of weekly grocery trips as we lead into the holidays. Stick to your usual routine where possible and be sure to make a list before you go

Do you have any additional tips to share? If so, we’d love to hear them! Please post in the comments below.
