KJ Dell'Antonia on How to be a Happier Parent The Widowed Parent Podcast

I had such a great discussion with KJ Dell’Antonia for this episode. KJ is the former editor of the New York Times’ Motherlode blog, and the author of “How to Be a Happier Parent.” I mean, who wouldn’t want to try to be happier in their role as a parent? And to my widowed parent listeners, especially: I figure we can use all the hints and tips we can get, now that we are doing this parenting job by ourselves.
Some topics KJ and I discuss include:
Why she decided to write this book; Some of her favorite mantras for parenting; Why family dinner is important, and what can be difficult about it; Why ‘discipline’ is one of the least-liked parenting jobs, and how to think differently about it; Chores, how to think about them, and tips for parents; Why you’ll be a happier parent if you embrace “fair doesn’t mean equal;” and Her new novel, “The Chicken Sisters,” in which one of the protagonists is a widowed parent of teens. I hope you enjoy my discussion with KJ Dell’Antonia.
