HOLA MAMA!

Are you overwhelmed with your kids constant fighting and yelling? I am! There are moments I just don't know what to do to "fix" it and sadly, I add to the chaos. Without a doubt sibling rivalry is one of the most frustrating and stressful factors of parenting. That is why we just had to dedicate a full segment for this subject alone!

In this episode, Natalie chats with Licensed Therapist and Parent Coach- Sasha Hawkes. Sasha answers questions such as "WHY DO SIBLINGS FIGHT?", "WHAT IS THE RIGHT APPROACH OF DISCIPLINE?" and "SHOULD I TAKE SIDES?" She also shares tips and tricks on how to encourage our kids to get along and how to deal with them when they don't.
