Don't wake the baby!

Five Minutes Peace | Parents discuss overstimulation with babies & toddlers


Listen Later

Coping with clingy babies, sensory overload, chatty toddlers, and needing a break... This is the one where Emma and Elliot chat about the overstimulation of noise, touch, and emotion when you have two children under 5. How to find a few minutes of peace from incessant crying, from kids being all over you, from toddlers only wanting mum for everything... the guilt of needing some space from the ones you love. Including conversation about gentle parenting, mum guilt, bodies, being the favourite parent, escaping the house, and top tips for dealing with sensory overload as a parent.

Unwind on sleepless nights to a wholesome mix of parenting stories, quirky humour, and cosy crafting. We’re not here to provide answers but to share our experiences, explore how parenting has changed, and build an online community of parents for mutual support.

A fun, honest and unscripted conversation between Emma and Elliot on non-judgemental parenting and millennial-based topics, as we relax on an evening attempting an artistic or creative activity. 

We are a project in partnership with The Kairos Movement and supported by The Methodist Church, of which The Kairos Movement is a part
