Mommy Needs A Minute

Today I get to chat with Amy Weber, a clinical social worker who shares her wisdom about how to teach and interact with kids of all ages. This episode was super fun for me, because I got to ask an expert some questions that every mom wonders, but is afraid to ask!

In today’s episode, Amy explains:

• What it actually means to be ready for kindergarten
• How to navigate playmate preferences
• Why indecision and forgetfulness is a normal part of kid brain function
• And MORE!
