#076 How to slow down, manage the inevitable meltdowns and enjoy Christmas with young children

Oh no, Christmas is almost upon us!

We all know that Christmas with small children doesn't always go smoothly.

The mix of excitement, lack of routine and excessive amounts of sugar doesn't always make for a peaceful holiday.

But fear not, I am your Christmas elf and I’m going to help you make it through the festive season with your sanity intact - and hopefully you will also be able to have some fun along the way.

We all need a pep talk at this time of year to get us through the lack of routine, the rollercoaster of excitement and disappointment, the meltdowns, the sugar highs and lows and the overwhelm that both parents and children feel at this time of year. 

We can so easily become stressed at this time of year - and our kids can too. 

So this episode is full of practical tips and reminders of small things you can do to boost connection, manage the meltdowns and hopefully get on track to having a peaceful and enjoyable Christmas season.

Warning - there will be meltdowns - and that’s ok! You can still make a memorable Christmas whilst navigating all the big feelings our little people throw at us. 

This is my last episode for 2023 so I would love to send you lots of seasonal Solstice love and a very peaceful new year.
