If you’re trying to maintain a good connection with your children as they grow up and become adults, this episode will prove super helpful!
I’m very proud of the close relationship I’ve maintained with my kids (both young adults now). So today, I’ll share what I felt worked when raising Brock and Cierra!

- The importance of finding the right environment to bond with your kids
- What is supporting without pushing
- Thoughts on placing expectations on your kids
- My feelings on grades
- What it means to truly accept your child
- How to break through the barrier of your kids’ walls
- How to set up boundaries
