On this episode of Something to Offer, Dawn catches us up on the memoirs that she's been reading. In this episode she shares about how the stories of others and the influences that their parents had on them is shining a light on her own parenting. The common thread of all of these stories is how the subject was affected, trained and shaped by the good and or bad of their rearing. Dawn has 3 children ages 3, 9 and 12 and has been feeling the struggle to meet each of them in their exact phase, age and moment in their own lives while also being responsible for her own. She posed a set of questions to some of her friends about their own parenting journeys in hopes of finding some encouragement and commonality for herself and for others. This is the start of a conversation that will continue on throughout the life of the podcast, because we could all always use a little parenting help!
