Summary

Hello from the English countryside. (Should I just rename my podcast Walking with Whit? LOL.) If you follow me on Instagram, you may know that my second daughter recently got engaged. I’ve gotten a lot of comments from young parents who are worried about losing a relationship with their kids as they get older. I’m noticing that a lot of my followers with young kids have a fear of their kids growing up and leaving. And I get it! Change is scary. Especially when it comes to your family. Today I want to give you hope that when your kids leave—because they will—you don’t have to lose or lessen your relationship with them. Your lives can and will expand together if you let it. . . . . . Get Reconnected: The Family Edition, and start making screen-free memories today.
