Episode notes

“We’re all pretty good at adding additional jobs to our jobs list at Christmas and we really don’t need to.”

Discover top tips to help you through the festive season with your under-five and find out how to uncover the true magic of Christmas (spoiler alert, it doesn’t include a trip to Santa’s grotto). Hosted by early childhood experts Jennie Johnson MBE and Alistair Bryce-Clegg, you’ll hear how to make magical memories, how to handle the mental load over the festive season, whether there’s such a thing as too many presents and what to do about it, why children can find Christmas overwhelming and how to help them, and five easy hacks for a smooth and realistic Christmas.
