  • Summary

  • Parenting is one of the hardest and most rewarding area of our lives, even if it doesn’t feel rewarding in the moment. In this episode, we discuss parental wellness and how it looks for us. We share our experiences and the strategies we’ve developed over the years to ensure we’re staying on track as parents. From one-on-one time with our kids to maintaining a structured daily routine, we explore the steps we’ve taken to not be a grumpy stinky parent and provide opportunities for our kids to learn and grow.

    Here’s what we cover:

    1. One-on-One Time: Why individual time with each child is important and how we do mama/daddy dates.
    2. Creating Structure: The systems we’ve put in place to provide consistency and structure.
    3. Discipline and Connection: The importance of connecting with our kiddos before correcting their behavior.
    4. Inviting Kids in Everyday Tasks: Teaches kids valuable life skills but also helps them feel like an important part of the family team.
    5. Apologizing to Your Kids: Modeling humility by apologizing to our children when we make mistakes, and how this helps create a healthy fam.
