If you don't want your kids snacking before dinner, then this episode is a MUST-LISTEN! 

In this episode, I dissect a conversation I had with a mom who was frustrated with her kids for continuing to grab snacks out of the cupboard while she was telling them no.

Today we are talking about sibling rivalry, sibling fighting, squabbling, bickering, name-calling pestering and bugging each other for seemingly NO REASON, always wanting what the other one has (despite not wanting it two seconds earlier), and constantly competing with each other.

Let's talk about one of the best ways to build confidence in our kids...

Today we are talking about why tantrums are a good thing --- SAY WHAT?!!?

Tantrums are probably the most dreaded behavior during the toddler, preschool, young child years but I’m here to shake things up a bit and argue the other side.

Tantrums are in fact a good thing -- not something to...

This month, we were dealing with high emotions (mom's), hyper bedtimes with the kids, and struggles to get the kids to tidy up their toys.

To add some context, my dad was in the hospital, my mom broke her arm which meant that when my dad was discharged, they needed help. We were under lockdown...
