0:00.0	I'm so excited to share more about our headline sponsor, Stoker. I've been getting to know the
0:04.3	company behind the amazing products, and I'm just so blown away by how the company operates. It was
0:09.5	founded in 1932, but it was in 1972 that the now famous tripchrap chair was released. You know the
0:15.5	one? It's wooden and it almost looks in a Z shape. It was completely groundbreaking because it allowed children to eat
0:22.4	at eye level with the adults and it actually revolutionised children's seating. And don't you just
0:27.0	think it's fascinating that the design and concept is just as relevant now as it was back then?
0:32.5	And I guess that's the sign of true timeless design, isn't it? I just love how the chair grows with your children. So my
0:39.4	eldest has used it every day from six months to today. And she's eight, which not only makes it
0:44.4	brilliant value, but I actually can't believe how well it's worn. It still looks pretty new. And that

1:00.6	Help your family stay healthy this winter with Sambacol, the UK's number one supplement brand for
1:07.5	immunity. And they are sponsoring the podcast this week. Winter bugs are just the
1:12.2	worst and if you get ill as the parent it is so challenging and it's probably even harder
1:18.2	seeing little ones unwell so it's important to keep your family's immune system healthy.
1:24.2	Sam Bacol immunity supplements are packed with natural black elderberries and vitamin C
1:29.9	which contribute to the normal function of the immune system. And Sambacal supplements are available
1:35.0	in delicious formats, including liquids and gummies for both children and us the adults. Shop
1:41.0	sambacol at boots.com. I'm delighted to introduce this week's podcast sponsor
1:47.0	Barefoot footwear company Vivo Barefoot. Did you know that 90% of kids are wearing shoes
1:53.0	that are too small, which prevents their normal natural growth and Vivo barefoot shoes keep feet
