Girlfriends, episode number 2.10, six tips for parenting big kids.

Hello and welcome to girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom, and I'm on a mission to help you know your worth as a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy and

family living. This week, we are talking about parenting big kids, even maybe some all grown

up kids. How do we do that? Let's get started. Hey, girlfriends, how are you? So glad you are here joining me for the newest episode of the

mom in a young family with young kids. And when I went back recently and re-read that book, I thought,

first book, but I'm a different person. And our family life is very different. I have a different
