Hey everyone! It’s Episode 6 of Crayons and Tantrums. Today’s episode is a messy one. I’m kicking off episode 6 talking about the messiness of childhood. And messy it is. From slime, to snack crumbs everywhere to the whining, laughing and non-stop energy of children, it gets messy.
Today’s episode is called “Childhood is Messy!” I think it’s the perfect title to explain what childhood sometimes feels like and what I’m parenting must feel like to you. Let’s talk about what makes childhood so messy, the impact of the messiness and what you can do when the messiness becomes overwhelming. Listen Now!
Don’t forget to check in every Wednesday for a new episode. Come hang out with me on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter so we can hold each other accountable on understanding your child’s behavior and development and how to best approach the challenges. Chat soon!
