Holiday Pics and Gifts!

Black Love Podcast Network
About this episode

It's December and for a lot of us it's the start of the panic of the Holiday season! Charisse is here to help lighten the load. First on our mind are those perfect holiday pictures. It is hard getting all six of the little ones ready to take that photo to send out in the holiday card. What do we need to do as parents and caregivers to prepare our children (and ourselves) to make that experience an enjoyable one for the whole family?

PLUS holiday gifts. We know that we all have a little bit of dread when it comes to picking out the perfect gift for every child. Is it the right gift? Will they get bored? Will it ruin my house? Charisse knows just what you are going through and is here to guide you through your gift buying journey. 

If you have a question you need Charisse to answer Fill out our form  or join the Parenting for the Culture Class (its FREE) and discuss every episode with Charisse every Friday after the episode drops!
