Mammas, move hell and high water to keep your word to your kiddos. When you follow through with what you say you are going to do, it teaches your kids that you can be trusted, and also teaches your kids that you shouldn’t be ignored. Often times, in the heat of the moment when we’re [...]
As parents, we sometimes shy away from having hard conversations with our kiddos for various reasons, but in talking to numerous parents, one of the main reasons we shy away is because we don't feel equipped to have these conversations with our kiddos.
