#322: Do Not Make The Same Mistake I Did...

Erin Royer, MA Clinical Psychology, Child Development Specialist

About this episode

I made a huge mistake this past year, both a parenting and a personal one. In this episode I share not only my mistake but the other common mistakes we parents often make that can affect how effectively we parent and live in all areas of our lives, as well as guidance to avoid these mistakes so we can show up better, stronger, more patient, and more energized for ourselves and those we love. Happy New Year!
