The start of a new year is a great time to sit down as a family to define your family's core values. This is a conversation that you can have with your whole family, including your youngest kids.

Lauren provides a framework for developing and using core values for your family. From accountability meetings to using core values in behavior re-direction, she has a treasure trove of ideas for instilling these values in our children.

Lauren answers this week’s listener question during the episode: Dealing with behavior over a short period of time, such as during a speech session. It can be very difficult to gain compliance and while parents are often present they may not be helpful in managing their child's behavior. What should I do?

Try-at-home tip:  Balancing - try balance activities to build mindfulness.
