We are living in a world where most children in developed countries have access to everything they need, and in some cases – everything they could possibly want. As a parent managing those expectations and ‘wants’ can be difficult.

The balance between providing for your child and spoiling them can be blurred. At Christmas time, this becomes even more difficult and costly. So how can we make this season become more about togetherness and less about ‘what they are getting’ presents-wise?

To help, we have registered psychologist and parenting educator Dr Vanessa Lapointe joining us on the PakMag Parents Podcast.
