Thankful Parents

My husband and I are grateful to have discovered your podcast. We listened to a few episodes when we got away for a weekend and we felt understood, less guilty, motivated, and we felt encouraged that we were already implementing some things so we weren’t completely off base. We’ve already put some tips into practice since returning a week ago and they’ve been 100% successful every time. Mind blowing. Thank you for your help. We will continue to listen for more!
