Practical Parenting Q & A {Episode 024 with Wendy Speake}
Aloha Friends!
I’m so happy to share today’s podcast episode with you. Wendy Speake was the first guest ever on my podcast (Episode # 3 on Boys, Boundaries and Freedoms and #4 Boys and Discipline) and I’ve had a lot of requests to bring her back for more! I love talking to Wendy, so I loved that idea!
Well, Wendy is in a very busy season at the moment! Her book: The 40-Day Sugar Fast, will release on November 5th -(it’s SO GOOD– and you can pre-order now!) but she was so kind to say yes, and take the time to record a 2-part Q & A series with me! This week and next, Wendy and I are tackling your PRACTICAL PARENTING questions the best we can! 🙂
I gathered some of the most-asked questions from boy moms, and Wendy and I dove in to offer what wisdom and encouragement we could! Today’s questions range from: dealing with a disobedient 14 year-old to a 6 year old with BIG FEELINGS…We touch on strong-willed and argumentative sons, and teenagers who WE JUST WISH WOULD GO TO BED. As usual these things spill over into all kinds of other practical parenting issues which I think many of you will resonate with, and hopefully be encouraged by!
Here are a few notes/Links from Wendy and my conversation!
