Parenting tips, gentle parenting, vaccine decisions & food choices – all explored in this honest episode!
Are you a parent navigating the chaos of raising young kids in today’s world? In this episode of The Family Business with The Alessis, join Chris Alessi, Stephanie Muiña, Richelle Alessi, and Christopher Muiña for a raw, hilarious, and open conversation about parenting methods, discipline, important medical decisions, and the pressure to make the “right” choices for your children.
You’ll hear personal stories of bedtime struggles, endless comparisons with other families, and how modern parents deal with food, sugar, and vaccine decisions. Learn why finding balance, trusting your own instincts, and leaning on supportive friendships can make parenting less stressful and more joyful.
Highlights include:

*Tips for handling the bedtime battle
*Dealing with outside opinions on the child immunization schedule and health choices
*Real talk about food: organic snacks, picky eaters, and letting kids be kids
*Why trusting God and your community matters more than getting everything “perfect”
