Greta podcast for parents of preteens and teens
What a great resource for parents moving through the adolescent years. There are so many questions during this time and it’s not always easy to ask people. Lori does a great job of providing information on all topics preteen/teen!
Enjoy this show so much!
Remember back when? Those awkward and maybe even forgettable teen years? Well they don’t have to be! Teens are amazing and wonderful and Lori Reichel brings on experts to help with all things tween and teen in conversations in 30 minute bite-sized conversations that help and advise parents navigating these (what can be) challenging years. Highly recommend subscribing!
