Do You Have a Listening Partner Yet?

MICHELLE KENNEY, M. ED
About this episode

Do you ever feel like you're on an emotional rollercoaster as a parent? It's normal to feel this way, but finding ways to keep your emotional balance is important. Today on Peace and Parenting, I discuss the importance of a listening partner. This means having someone you can talk to and share your feelings with when you're feeling overwhelmed.


But listening partnerships are not just about venting. They're about finding ways to improve our emotional well-being and build a healthier relationship with our children. Whether we're dealing with life's challenges or simply trying to find inner peace amidst chaos, these partnerships can make a huge difference for every parent out there.


🔗 Join our private Facebook group to find a listening partner today 

🔗 Check out my new Connected Parent Mastermind designed for parents who want to strengthen their connection with their children, experience more love, and reduce frustration.
