How children see their parents get on – whether they are together or separated – directly impacts a child’s development. This is why it’s important to focus on supporting parents to have good quality relationships with each other as well as with their children.

Christmas is the season for giving, but it doesn’t have to be gifts. You can give your time and kindness. Check in on neighbours or volunteer locally. Building these connections strengthens community bonds and brings joy to everyone involved.

If you can’t be with loved ones this Christmas, try staying connected in other ways, such as a video call, text, or handwritten card. Letting someone know you’re thinking of them can keep you close, even when you’re apart.

True love doesn’t need five golden rings this Christmas. Try replacing it with five compliments or positive comments instead.
Research shows this is how many are needed to balance out just one negative remark, and help to build trust in relationships.

Arguments can flare over Christmas, but you can stop them from escalating. Think of a disagreement like a log fire: the logs you argue about, the match that starts it, the fuel that worsens it, and the water that calms things down. Pause, listen and respond calmly to keep your relationship strong.

Everyday actions such as making a cup of tea or saying 'thank you' can strengthen relationships more than big, grand gestures. With Christmas near, remember that gratitude is the most valued gift. Be sure to show your appreciation.

The Christmas rush can be hectic, but the holiday is a great chance to enjoy fun, quality time with family. A change of routine can help to build togetherness and strengthen relationships. Your family is your foundation. Make time to connect.

#christmasactivities #togetherness

Choosing the perfect gift for a loved on can feel like an ideal way to show your love. Studies show spending money on others can make you happier too! But remember, gifts don’t have to be expensive. It’s often the little things that count.

Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales’ Christmas message highlighting the importance of small acts of kindness is something we can all take on board. In fact, it’s so important we even put it on a cup! 

#connection #relationships #actsofkindness

Whether it’s your first Christmas or your 50th, celebrating milestones can strengthen your relationship by creating new memories and recalling why you fell in love. If things are tough, remembering happier times can help you reset. This Christmas, enjoy making and sharing memories.

Research shows that having good social connections can help you live longer in the same way as avoiding smoking and more so than tackling obesity.
So, this Christmas, let good relationships be the gift you give yourself and others.
