How to Implement Parenting Advice - 132

CONNIE ALBERS
About this episode

Parenting is hard. Deciding how to implement parenting advice can be even more difficult. There are a lot of parenting books out there. I even wrote one myself! Sadly, many parenting books can come across as being the only right way to parent your child. You might start to think, "What is wrong with my child?" when doing what the author says on page 76 isn't working.

 

In this episode, I want to encourage you to be careful of who you choose to listen to when it comes to parenting advice and show you how to decide which parenting advice to implement.
