With a bit of nerves we offer this honest conversation about our parenting journey thus far. In the first half of this episode, we bring you up to speed quickly on the past 7 years of parenting. Some of our listeners may not even know we have kids! We have a son who is nearly 7, and two girls ages 5 and 3. But, this episode really is about the struggles we have been facing in parenting since the pandemic. We just aren't exactly sure what we are doing wrong, or if it is supposed to be this hard? All we know is that we have to keep going even when we don't want to, keep seeking advice and keep communicating with each other.
This conversation is the first of a two part series. In two weeks we look forward to sharing a conversation with Kerri Gray, LMFT M.S. Kerri is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She works with ReDiscover and Lee's Summit CARES, nonprofits in our local Kansas City area, to bring education to parents, kids and teens using the positive parenting approach. Kevin and I are anxious to talk through some of our struggles with her and receive guidance from her positive approach to parenting. Along with her expertise she will be sharing some free resources to help us all be happier parents raising happier kids. Amen!
