November 06, 2018How Baby’s Personality May (Or May Not) Predict Big Kid Character Traits: Episode 181

November 02, 2018Finding Your Voice As Your Kids Get Older With Asha Dornfest: Voices 31
If your kids are little, maybe you’ve wondered what it’s really like to send a child off to college. Or maybe you’ve pondered how your mom-life – and the way you relate to the world – might change as your children grow. In this episode, Meagan and the always warm, wise and wonderful Asha Dornfest discuss parenting older kids, “growing up” as a mom while and looking forward to what’s next, and even have a (totally non-partisan) conversation about politics, the importance of listening to each other, and how YOU can make a difference in your world – even if you’re still in the overwhelming baby and toddler stages.
