About this episode

Already feeling holiday overwhelm?


Welcome to the holiday micro series! I've taken my 12 Days of Christmas Toddler Tips and turned it into mini episodes to help you feel confident as we head into the holiday season. I'll be talking about how to teach littles gratitude, disrupted sleep routines, sharing, what to do when your child wants everything they see in the stores and more! I'll also be giving you intentional language scripts you can use, to help set you up for success.


Be sure to follow along and check out the micro series videos (and all the podcast episodes) on Youtube!
