Build Family Connection

I’m curious. Is it easy or more difficult for you to connect with your kids-- especially the one who challenges you? For us, there is a lot of variation. Sometimes building a relationship is easy and sometimes we struggle more.

In today's we are talking about one barrier that might be getting in the way of strengthening relationships with your people. Listen in and please, share with a friend!

Your kids want a relationship with you. Yes, their friends matter a whole lot and sometimes appear to be more important than anything else. However, they deeply care about their relationship with you.

The problem is, sometimes they feel totally stuck. They think the only way to connect with you is to do everything you want in the way you want it done. Think about that for a minute.  Are they right?

Feeling overwhelmed or defeated by your goals for the new year? Don't let that stop you from progressing. In today's episode, we talk about a few options for moving forward that do not require a complete overhaul of our lives and families.

Our guest Becky Kemp shares with us the power of words and how they can impact how we feel heading into this new year. She offers 3 words to act as guides as we move forward and create personal change.

There are times parenting feels like a long journey that will NEVER end. Certainly the months of November and  December can feel like a long journey that we love, but wonder if we will survive! Listen in for words of encouragement from our guest Lynnette Sheppard as we wrap up 2021 and begin our journey into a new year.
