Listening to this podcast has given me great tools on how to set boundaries, have time for myself, and understand that the hard parts of parenting that I am doing now will help my kids thrive as they grow older. Sustainable Parenting has become my go to parenting resource.
Information you can apply to all levels of parenting!
I’m a grandmother raising grandchildren and I’m always looking for helpful parenting advice. The challenges are more difficult these days it seems than when I raised my own and this episode will be helpful when I discuss some issues with my husband. Looking forward to using what I learned at our next therapy session! Flora’s style is simple, real life and easy for anyone at any level to understand.
