Celebrate summer!

Give your child the most precious gift this festive season – your time

1

Eat watermelon and have a contest to see who can spit the pips the furthest.

2

Don’t be precious about the Christmas tree. Take out all your bits and bobs and give your child free reign to decorate like crazy.

3

Let your children help you wrap the presents for Granny and Grandpa. They are guaranteed to be charmed by the crooked sticky tape.

4

Listen to Handel’s and show your child how you get goosebumps.

Ask a male family member or friend to phone your child pretending to be Father Christmas. Record the conversation, especially the answer to “Were you good this year?”
