The TPP team dives back in to discuss developing and maintaining friendships as moms. Keeping it relevant, they talk about the struggles and limitations of time and energy bouncing onto the wall of reality for a mom in that important area of friendship.

From pre-school to adulthood friends and friendships are important but can also be a challenge.  In this episode, the team discusses moms’ questions on cliques and being excluded, what a friend is, and how to help our children learn how to be a good friend.

 Sleep issues with our kids aren’t just about newborns.  There can be challenges and bumps throughout our parenting years. The TPP Team chats over concerns such as sleepwalking, bedwetting, and what to do with teens and devices late at night. 

 Everybody enjoys a good night's sleep, but that's just not always the reality for a mom. Listen in as the TPP team shares stories and talks about sleep issues - not just with newborns but throughout all the seasons of parenting. 

Our TPP recording team again sits around the mics and discusses some questions that you  moms have sent us. How to teach gratefulness? Feeling guilty as a mom. Should kids say I am sorry?  These question are just jumping off points for a lot of conversation and ideas. Join us and take a moment to text or dm your question to us.  That is why we are here.

 TPP wants to be relevant to your life, mom. In this episode (we hope the first of many) our Recording Team discusses and shares questions you our listeners have sent to us.  So many interesting topics – sharing (not just toddlers); siblings warring with each other; and what if you know you aren't doing it perfectly - have you blown it?  Join us for the discussion and don’t forget to share your questions with us – we want to know what you want to ask! 

We often refer to the 4th season of parenting as The Graduate Years. But, we aren't talking about our kids doing the graduating! It's US the Moms! We have graduated from the Active Parenting Years. And instead of it always being a big Grad Party, this season has some special challenges of its own. Join us as we share from our own experiences and reality because all four of us are somewhere in this stage ourselves. TPP wants to walk alongside you, mom, encouraging and equipping you as your walk towards and through this last phase of parenting.

We hope to bring you a dose of encouragement with this episode – whatever your reality or situation is right now. Our team reflects and discusses what it really is like to be a mom in the middle of active parenting, - full of long nights, endless dirty dishes, and just plain weariness.  Sit back with a cup of your favorite drink and just drink in our virtual arm around your shoulder as we seek to stir you up to hang in there and keep on loving -even though it’s hard – because Mom, it IS worth it!

The calendar page has turned all of us to a new year. The Team chats about changes and resolutions and plans for what lies ahead. Moms, we process together these concepts but hope to lay some groundwork to help you find more flourishing and growth as a mom but also as a special person. Listen in as we discuss developing grit and grace for the journey and for ourselves.

Our conversation continues about the Releasing Years of parenting.  We left the mics running last time so we have some Bonus Material added in.  The Team discusses the tricky balance of relationships and finances and giving advice – Yes, this is a complex season but it also has potential for richness and opportunity of growing with our kids. Grab a cup of coffee or do that needed task while listening to the chat around the TPP table on loving our releasing/released children.
