Drowning in Guilt Over Giving One Child ...

Child of the Redwoods
About this episode

Do you feel like you give one child more attention over another? It feels awful, right? And yet sometimes simply because of the age and stage of your child, it is the instinctual way you parent. 

Many Montessori mamas feel guilty for playing with the preschooler while the baby lays nearby on the floor or nursing the baby for house while the preschooler waits. Tips & healthy advice awaits you in this episode. 

Love, 
Aubrey
