Romance after kids can look and feel very different, but CBeebies Parenting Download is here to help reignite that spark. Katie Thistleton and Guvna B are joined by TV personality and presenter Scarlett Moffatt, psychologist Dr Lalitaa Suglani and dating coach Hayley Quinn to decode love languages, shifting routines, and share Valentine’s ideas for tired couples and single parents.

Former Gogglebox star, Scarlett offers a playful way to defuse petty rows, suggests keeping some individual interests and hobbies so there is more to talk about than nappies, and encourages parents to accept the inevitable changes that come with parenting. Dr Lalitaa explains how priorities shift, why naming feelings of guilt or shame helps, and how short, consistent moments of emotional intimacy can begin to rebuild connection. Hayley talks about her own parenting experience and recommends micro rituals like a quick phone-free walk and, for single parents, advises honesty, plus small weekly steps toward dating at a manageable pace.

Expect practical takeaways on sharing the load without scorekeeping, cherishing bite-size time together and keeping Valentine’s low pressure. For more ideas and parenting resources, visit the CBeebies Parenting website. Get in touch: parentingdownload@bbc.com or WhatsApp 0800 022 4808
