Christy, Chief Parent Officer at Colugo, is joined by Shannon Murray-Doffo, founder of Living Loudly, to chat about how to navigate conversations with extended family about holiday gifts for kids by starting from a position of gratitude. They chat about the gift of undivided attention, connecting virtually, respecting budgets, and making grandparents the hero. They also share their own experiences with letting go of disappointment over gifts that might not have been their first choice (for example, light-up Paw Patrol sneakers) and focusing on the joy it brings their kids.
