Summary
A mom with a 6 year old hasn't set up any discipline or expectations in the home as of yet. She feels so overwhelmed now, she doesn't know where to start. At some point or another, we all feel like we fall behind in our parenting. Between life changes or stressors or things with our kids that just blindside us. In this episode I share what we want to focus on at each age/stage to help our children be ready for the next level of responsibilities in life and how to make a plan to catch up if we ever feel we are behind.

| 0:34.6 | And research also shows that these small gains early on |
| 0:39.1 | actually result in lower academic scores by middle in high school. It kills creativity. It kills |
| 0:46.2 | a love of learning and it turns learning into a chore early on. And it's really hard to get |
