What advice would you give to your first-time-parent self?If you could, what would you tell your younger first-time-parent self by the time the second baby came along?
For our #VicksBabyRub Challenge, sponsored by Vicks, we’re looking for 50 second-time mums or dads to write a letter in the form of a blog post, that would give your former first-time parent self some much needed advice. You’ll receive a full-size Vicks BabyRub along with a personalised notepad and pen for you to write your thoughts down before sharing your wisdom on social media. You’ll need to have a child aged between 6 months to 2 years to take part. When you do, you’ll be eligible for prizes!
Prizes and Rewards: Be among the first 50 to sign up and you’ll receive your Vicks BabyRub package to create bonding moments. All entrants are also eligible to win 1 of 4 £100 John Lewis vouchers, or a grand prize of a £300 John Lewis voucher.
Your post could:
- Offer yourself encouragement or reassurance
- Give tips on what you could have done differently – or supportive messages what a great job you were doing in those initial months, even if you didn’t think so at the time
- Talk about products you needed (or didn’t need)
- Share funny stories
- You’ll weave in the new Vicks BabyRub and the bonding experience of using it. This could be prompted by how you were convinced that you needed to buy a multitude of baby products when it’s not necessarily true
