Christmas with the family!

Christmas is a time when there are huge expectations and we put a lot of pressure on ourselves, so for this episode we decided to chat about what the issues can be and what we can do to make it all a bit easier. We talked about: 

·         Our own Christmases and who we share them with (spoiler alert...Claire’s includes a nap!) 

·         Making things ‘perfect’ and why we feel we have to make it that way. 

·         Seeing everyone at Christmas and feeling we have to cram it all into one day! 

·         What would happen if you didn’t ‘do it all’? 

·         Your inner critic and the importance of not letting it get to you! 

·         Dealing with high expectations and possible judgement at Christmas – how can you make it easier for yourself? 

·         Saying thank you by giving hugs and kisses that might be expected from children at Christmas. 

·         Setting the tone... if people don’t want to be part of it then that’s OK!

Newborn to Teen and Everything in Between
Your go-to for advice on how to communicate with the children in your life. Brought to you by family consultancy Bespoke Family, enabling families to thrive
Newborn to Teen and Everything Inbetween - it does exactly what it says on the tin! Join childcare experts Becks and Claire for practical advice about how to communicate with children, at all ages.
There can be a lot of pressure to 'get it right' when it comes to children, which can be quite daunting! Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, TA or childcare worker, or just looking to gain a better understanding of the world through a child’s eyes, Becks and Claire have 25 years of childcare experience to share with you. Listen for reassurance and support to help you navigate tricky conversations, challenging behaviour, complex emotions, and the general day to day pressures of raising and working with children.
This is a judgement-free zone - you won't find a one-size-fits-all rule book here! The perfect parent doesn't exist, but in their family consultancy business Bespoke Family, Becks and Claire believe that a child centred approach which recognises and respects individuality is the best way to enable families to thrive. Join Becks and Claire for accessible, light-hearted and well researched advice and guidance on the various ways we can tackle the ups and downs of life with children (they've got a great sense of humour too, so if you love a laugh you're in great company!)
