How to parent when life happens :

My family’s recent loss showed me how without the intentionality built over the years in parenting, my children and I would have crumbled at this time. It’s been a very tough couple of months.

No one is ever prepared for death in the family but it happens. This is why we need to start today in rebuilding the connections and relationships with our children and our partners.

Our legacies are connected to the memories and our relationship with our children

How do we raise teenagers who are responsible and make responsible choices?

Embracing a sense of responsibility is key to the choices that teenagers make on a daily basis. When they build the skill of always checking in within themselves before making choices, it helps them in life.

Nurturing that sense of responsibility isn't something that is forced on them. It comes from the subtle ways that we speak to them, the ways that we respond to them and the ways we listen to them. It's hidden in these relationship gems. In this episode, I share ways in which we, as parents and other caregivers, can help nurture this sense of responsibility in our teens.

It pays off for them. They go on to make better decisions, surround themselves with the right people and live thriving lives.
