#50: I Love my Kids But I Don’t Always Like Them with Franki
LISTEN NOW
Do you love your kids, but sometimes feel like you don’t always like them? You are not alone. Parenting can be full of joy and happiness, mixed in with challenging and hard times. This week I am in conversation with Franki. She is a wife, mother, Academic and Behavioral Consultant, Teacher, Coach, Blogger, and published author. In this episode Franki validates the feeling of overwhelm that all parents feel or have felt at one point or another. She gives us tangible advice and tips on right-sizing our expectations for our children, understanding how to read behavior as communication, and how to tame tantrums at any age. I hope this episode encourages you and helps you to realize that you are not alone.
