‘Tis the season to be jolly but also ‘tis the season to be tired and bumping into big feelings and behaviours! This week we’ve doubled down on parenting experts and invited parent coach Sheridan Eketone to join Jenny and Dayna on the couch to answer all your crunchy Christmas and holiday-related questions.  Tune in for stacks of handy tips, thoughts, stories and a whole lotta light relief as we delve into topics including:  How to deal with the Christmas grinches in the family. Making Christmas magical without adding too much extra pressure (to your already stretched self). Dealing with present requests from your kids that aren’t within your budget. Teaching gratitude and generosity at Christmas time. Navigating complex family situations and conflicting expectations. Parenting under the watchful eye of grandparents or in-laws. How to politely ask your overstaying guests to leave. Taking care of yourself as a parent juggling all the things. Co-parenting in the Christmas season. School holidays as a working parent. Setting family intentions for the New Year.  Parents We’ve Met is brought to you by Parenting Place – a charity with a heart for New Zealand families.
