Ep. 78 Lifesaving Parenting Tips from Toddler Experts - Big Little Feelings! Part 1 Hot Marriage. Cool Parents.

    • Kids & Family

Doug and I aren’t always on the same page when it comes to parenting. We really try to make the rules together and stick to them so that we are a united front with these kids, but sometimes we find ourselves in situations where we literally have no idea what to do! 
 
We are SUPER lucky this week to be able to have toddler EXPERTS, Kristin and Deena, on the podcast this week! Deena is a child therapist and a parent coach, and Kristin is a momma of two toddlers. Together they share the most PRACTICAL tips for handling toddlers on their Instagram page, Big Little Feelings! 
Welcome to Hot Marriage. Cool Parents, Kristin and Deena! We’re so glad you are joining us!!!
