There are so many situations that can be hard for kids (and parents!) during childhood. The beginning of school, separation from parents for a date night or work, or any change or transition can be difficult for kids and their emotions. In this episode, we draw on the wisdom of the book Good Inside to give lots of tips around this topic and make these situations easier.
We also provide an alternative lens to look at whining through, and give several helpful tips on how to handle this universally annoying sound of our children whining. (It bothers all of us, right?:)

I’ve listened to this podcast from day one and obsessively check my podcast feed every Monday to see what the new episode is. Episodes are always exactly what I need to hear. They give concrete tips and ideas for a more wholehearted life and do it without making you feel guilty or like you need to change. Their views on parenting speak right to my heart and I am so grateful for the work they put into their thoughts every week. They’re changing my family one episode at a time.
