They talk about the best ways to get your point across while considering your child’s needs and how this can strengthen your family’s relationship.  Lorraine recounts her own life and parenting experiences with taking accountability, knowing how to apologize, and setting an example of honesty for her child to follow. She shares how vital it is to cultivate a home where children feel seen, heard, and loved, and speaks to her own transformation turning her challenges growing up in Trinidad into lessons in becoming an attentive and loving mother.    Follow the show on Instagram @GroundControlParenting and follow the blog, www.groundcontrolparenting.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
