With UK school summer holidays in full swing, parents across the nation are spending a lot more time with their children.
But whether parents and their kids are staying at home or going on holiday this summer, with every treasured memory and cherished experience also comes the threat of tantrums, moodiness and bad behaviour.
We want to hear from you. Have you discovered a tiny parenting hack that makes a big difference?
Perhaps it’s the one phrase you started using that got kids to the table to eat dinner without much fuss. Or the one little change you made that reduced the time your teenagers spent on their phones.
Whatever it is, we want to hear how it works, how you discovered it, and what difference it makes to your family life.
