Teaching Toddlers Age Appropriate Chores Oct 28, 2022

Show notes

Submission Episode!

Another submission episode in the books! What are formal chores? What are just good manners? How do you teach your children to help around the house? What do you do when they refuse? We had so many questions about introducing chores to our toddlers and got the scoop on all the things you do in your homes! We discuss what to do when your child doesn't want to help, what types of chores are easy to introduce as "firsts", using the natural motivation toddlers have to do tasks for themselves, and the difference between bribing & threatening vs positive reinforcement & natural consequences.

Eating and Meal Planning Seasonally Oct 21, 2022

As promised, this episode is dedicated to eating seasonally. Eating local, seasonal produce is actually more nutrient dense, cost effective, environmentally friendly, and just a fun way to celebrate the seasons! If you can't tell we are passionate about this and excited to get you excited about it as well.

Tips for Solo Parenting While Your Spouse is Away! Oct 07, 2022

Show notes

In this episode we cover all of our best tips on solo parenting. We talk about why we think it’s important to find what makes it enjoyable for you; getting a babysitter is a great way to break up the time; sticking to your schedule is more (not less) important than normal. Disclaimer: This episode is not about single parenting! We don’t pretend that solo parenting (having full parental responsibility while your spouse is traveling or away) is single parenting in any form. We applaud those single parents out there and look forward to an episode dedicated to you.
