#15 - Parents' Guide To Christmas : Focussing On What Matters
In this episode we talk all things Christmas with our new Parentline Head of Service, June Onyekwelu.
The festive period can be the "most wonderful time of the year" as the song goes, but for many families it can come with all sorts of challenges. In addition to this, we are still in the grips of a global pandemic which is set to make Christmas 2020 a very strange one indeed.
We talked to June about a host of issues around the topic of parenting at Christmas, including:
- pressures of buying expensive gifts
- financial pressures in general
- importance of self care
- managing separation and contact arrangements at Christmas
...to name a few.
We hope you get lots of value from this episode and don't forget to subscribe to the podcast to receive our next episode hot off the press!
