Show notes

Listen to this Whinypaluza Wednesday Live vlog episode with The Greene Family! An extension of the weekly blog, join Rebecca and her family on the live vlog, brought to you here in case you missed it last week!

This week: Lessons Learned From Turning Red

If we know WE can’t be perfect, why do we expect our kids to be?
Our kids will come to us with problems if we are calm about it. Don’t be like Ming.
The analogy of the Panda- we need to prepare our girls for the changes they will experience with puberty
Communication is key! If our kids can’t communicate with us, we can’t understand what they are going through.
Avoid the pitfalls of “not my kid!” reactions. Know your child and don’t go on the defense when someone says they are less than perfect.
Encouraging our kids to embrace who they truly are- embrace the weirdness!
