Three ways to deal with the gimmes | Podcast episode 257

Let's just say it: at this time of year, we don't always get the best behavior from our kids. They're overstimulated. They're out of routine. In many end-of-year traditions they are being showered with gifts. This can make them forget that life is about so much more than receiving presents from everybody who walks through the door (or whose door they walk through.) So, today I wanted to help you deal with the gimmes! Listen for three ways to gently help your child step away from the gifts.
