A visit from a young family is a different kind of hosting, measured in nap schedules and snack requests rather than dinner reservations. This is the practical rundown for making it easy on everyone: what to childproof and what to let go, how to set up a corner that keeps small hands busy, feeding little ones without a fuss, and the quiet ways to give worn-out parents a real break. Warm, sensible, and genuinely useful.
