Every days a new step forward

My wife and Miss Cayla had me start this program to help me see life through my children’s eyes. I have never been perfect, but I keep working on myself to have better communication with my little ones through the lessons I’ve learned here.

Best tips for cultivating more loving household

I absolutely love Wendy and this podcast! When I first started following her I wanted to stop being so angry and yelling at my kids so much! This podcast gives practical tips and helps you understand children and how to effectively communicate. We now are able to successfully solve problems and disputes in our home instead of getting angry and using fear and force to get compliance.
