A Little Pep Talk

MICHELLE KENNEY, M. ED
About this episode

Today I want to give those who have started on this journey of connected parenting some much-needed encouragement. We can often get stuck in the muck what with all the refusals, fighting, poor choices, and big feelings. But bad moments don’t mean you are not progressing, and every day you need to look for those beautiful moments too. Listen in as I give you some indicators that you’re on the right track.
