Sibling issues are one of TPP’s listeners most frequent questions.  How do we stop it?  Is this normal? Listen in as the Team actually discusses how this struggle can be a growing tool for  your family.

In part 2, the team continues the discussion of what the beginning season of our Family Road Trip might look like. Oh listen in and learn about a very helpful tool for all stages of parenthood -ZPD.

So what does the beginning season of our Family Road Trip look like? The Team discusses the reality of the great and the not so great of this special launching that all families must travel. Listen in for a dose of reality and encouragement for this period of initiation into parenting. 

The Team continues our beginning conversation  as we start a series on Your Family Road Trip through all the seasons of parenting. We explore more about a Destination vs Journey mindset and we each share aspects of what was particularly hard for us personally on our own Road Trips. Listen in as we lay down groundwork for all the ages of parenting.

Today we are starting a more in depth series of creating and applying the idea of the Family Road Trip of vision and practice to all the seasons of parenting. The team lays some beginning groundwork and discusses why you might take the time to map out that Trip for your family. But we get practical in some of the how-tos of real daily life as well. Glad you could join us - no matter where you are in your parenting journey. 

On the last episode, Dr. Kelly Stevens introduced an intriguing concept that our kids are missing out when we avoid using the Gift of Failure in their lives. Today we plow further into this often-overlooked aspect of parenting and discuss the benefits and then get specific in how it might be applied in real life. Be sure to listen in! 

Dr. Kelly Stevens joins us again in the recording studio. This time with the unusual idea of equipping our children with the gift of failure. He talks about a style of parenting where preparing our children for life rather than trying to curate the road in front of them. You're not going to want to miss this interesting but challenging conversation.

Today's episode is the continuation of a conversation which we started last week, but it was too full of good meat to cut short so we're going to jump right back in today where we left off. Now this isn't just a subject for parents with older children. What we talk about as the recording team is applicable to every stage of our parenting. So join us now and listen in about what to do when it's hard and they're rebelling but you want to love them well. 

In response to some listeners' requests, on this episode, the TPP recording team tackles one of the harder things just to figure out when you're a parent - what to do when they rebel while they're still living at home and underage. Getting a little more practical we explore what it might actually look like as we walk through some of this hard stuff with our children. Listen in on the conversation about those conversations.

This week we reach back to one of our listeners' favorite episodes - hence "Second Helping." The focus is adolescence, but the principles and practical applications apply to all stages of parenting. It's the tricky balance of being engaged and yet not OVER reacting. Listen in as the TPP Team discusses this important and challenging aspect of parenting.
