Finding Moments
Friends for over a decade, Chad, Trisha and LenEll catchup over a cup of coffee and talk all things parenting! LenEll, girl mom, is the pro with a Masters in Applied Psychology, Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, LBA, and ESDM Certified. Chad & Trisha are simply parents of a high school and middle school boys that are always trying to stay one step ahead. As we continue to search for ways to level up our family dynamic, we share the tips, tricks and parenting hacks that we've learned along the way.

Episode 023 - Finding Perspective
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Problems, problems, problems! Big ones for parents may be little ones to our kids. Big ones to our kids may seem little to parents. It doesn't matter, all are important. Listening is critical. Telling someone else how to feel never truly ends well.
Chad, Trisha & LenEll discuss parenting strategies on how to navigate the tricky balance of teaching our kids how to cope while allowing them room to figure things out. Parenting never stops, it only changes.
Air pods are the ultimate invisibility cloak to our kids and an outstanding way to avoid having conversations. How parents were taught doesn't always work today. Screens & social media (ugh Tik Tok and YouTube Shorts) require creative methods of staying connected with our kids.
Finding perspective in all of this is key to understanding that what we feel may not match what others in our family may feel. Exploring all of this is our theme in Episode #23 for Finding Moments.
