  • Five Minutes Peace | Parents discuss overstimulation with babies & toddlers
    Nov 13 2025

    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.
