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! Blogs: Why doesn’t my child show much affection? How do you get children to appreciate what they have? Instagram - @bespokefamily / Facebook - @bespokefamily  Bespoke Family 1:1 Parent Consultations: https://www.bespokefamily.co.uk/parent-consultations    ‘Your Guide to...’ (our downloadable webinars) - get 25% off any guide with the code ‘PODCAST’
