Every pregnancy has a 1 in 250 chance of identical twins. What's it like to carry, deliver, and raise TWO at once? In this episode, we talk to two moms of twin girls: ages 7 and 20 and walk through their twin experiences. As hard as it might be, there's lots of added sweetness and blessings to being a twin mom!
Happy heart day! We're sharing some of our favorite family valentine traditions and memories in this episode. Candy hearts and shoebox crafts, anyone? Also, we take a look at what we're celebrating: what's love really mean? How do we communicate this to our kids, especially when they start showing interest in the bf/gf dynamic?
In addition to their OB and pediatrician, many moms have started to see the benefits of chiropractic visits--and not just when their kid has a collision on the soccer field. In this episode, we talk to pediatric and prenatal specialist, Dr. Marilyn Jackson of Milestone Family Chiropractic, who talks us through the effect of chiropractic care on your nervous system, health, and well-being. Who doesn't want a fully-functioning nervous system, especially in children whose brains are developing like crazy?
Anger is such a dynamite emotion, it can startle us and activate our defensiveness, even against our own children. It's hard not to take personally! In this episode, we peel back the onion and look at some causes of anger in children, how to react (and not react), and how to help kids identify what's really going on underneath that volcano!
In this final episode of the 3-part Kids & Food series, we talk about SNACKS and the Golden Rule of food: it should be a joy, not a stressor. If we change our language about food (good food vs. bad) and our approach to the table, it's a win-win for parents & kids.
How come French kids have no problem eating veggies & anything else their parents eat? Join us for part 2 of our series as we compare food cultures with Karen LeBillon's book, French Kids Eat Everything. Do you have a picky eater? Issues at mealtime? This series is for you!
One of the most frequent complaints pediatricians hear is "I can't get my kid to eat!" Typically, parents are talking about their 2-3 year old, but often it's older kids, too. In this 3-part series, we take a peek at a different culture--one that doesn't seem to have this problem--and see what they're doing to de-stress and simplify food issues with kids.
Many parents report feeling inadequate in guiding their kids in spiritual matters. How can we lead our kids to maturity there just like we do in academics, sports, and social areas? Our guest, Jason Houser, is a husband & father AND a singer, songwriter, and founder of Seeds Family Worship ministry. Join us for a fun conversation as we talk about making room for God in your family.
Are you a planner or does the thought of setting goals give you hives? In this episode, we go through an easy way to set some short term and long term goals using a simple 1-10 scale. It covers seven key areas: Faith, Fun, Friends, Finances, Fellowship, Fitness, and Family. Make this the year for progress! Baby steps count!
Every now and then, it's a good idea to check in with your marriage and see how its engine is running. All marriages could do with a good tune up from time to time, no matter how many years you've been together. We run down 10 areas where you may or may not want to do some maintenance. Nobody can do all of them at once--just pick a couple at a time and see if the road feels smoother.
