Love Maggie
This is a wonderful podcast as a parent and teacher. Practical and loving.
Grandparents episode!
I love every episode, but this one got me really thinking about my children’s relationship with my husband’s mother who lives with us. I am encouraged to keep trying to set boundaries as well as working on communicating well- and remembering that we all love each other. Thank you, Maggie!
