Summary
I love this episode because we cover so many different topics and show you how to get your kids to be responsible for themselves. I share creative answers for handling picky eaters who create stress at mealtimes, a child who don’t show his math work, an older child who picks on her younger sibling, kids who’ve grown a little entitled, and setting boundaries on that new iPhone. Plus I have a killer idea to help you with your own anxiety so you don’t snap at your kids. **Our Christmas Sale begins TODAY!
