Whether you’re ready or not, the moment will eventually come when your kid starts to wonder 'Is Santa Real?' When they ask you, do you know what you’ll say, how you’ll handle it?
In this episode of the Heartful Parent Podcast, I’m encouraging you to keep the magic alive, even if your kids are past the believing stage. Don’t let go of the hope or the spirit of what Santa represents. Instead, dig in with connection, share the reality, and invite them to help keep the magic going.
How? Well, I’m here to help with that! I have a couple of books to share, a little bit of practical advice, and a few ways to help explain Santa in a loving and magical way. Use the inevitable conversation as a way to invite heartfulness and connection into your relationship and your holiday season.
I’m sure you know a parent who may also need a little guidance for the Santa conversation, pass this episode along to them. And if you need more support that is specialized to you, your family, and your situation, The Heartful Parent Academy is a great place for you. I would absolutely love to see you there.
