'I wish Santa was around to shoulder some of the additional burden that Christmas brings but alas, he is not.'| ✍️ Sarah Whiteley writes.
‘That part of your body is called your vagina.’However, when it comes to kids, being honest isn’t always as easy as it sounds, especially when they’re as young as mine, aged five and three.
It wasn’t an easy thing to talk about – or indeed a pleasant one. But we felt that explaining death – in a simple, age-appropriate way – was the best thing to do, for many reasons. Not least, because we want our children to trust us. Of course, I know it’s not true. I wish Santa was around to shoulder some of the additional burden that Christmas brings but alas, he is not.There is precious little magic in this world, and children are so young for such a short amount of time
It’s about so much more than just presents – but undeniably, when you’re a small child, the presents are pretty important. Along with your birthday, it’s the one time most of us are guaranteed a gift or two. As their mum, I want to be the person who creates that enchantment for them, not the one who takes it away.
