Episode notes

"You don't have to pay loads of money and go on massive trips to make memories this summer."

With baby and toddler classes out for the summer, My First Five Years co-founders Jennie Johnson and Alistair Bryce-Clegg talk about the pressures summer can bring (18 summers, anyone?), why you don’t need to go on big days out (but how to manage everyone’s expectations if you do!), the importance of boredom for children and how to add some magic to everyday experiences. You’ll also hear how to think about what you, as a parent, need this summer and five hacks to take the stress out of summer.
