The Mom Panel: Building Trust and Communication with Preteens -- Why Openness Matters

Jackie de Godbout Season 1 Episode 2

In this episode of 'The Mom Panel,' Tiesha, Michelle, Jill and I discuss effective ways to communicate with preteens.  Michelle discusses how to approach the prepubescent stage, particularly for parents with a conservative background, while Jill focuses on fostering communication with younger children using tools like Talking Points Cards to foster meaningful dialogue and more! What a fun and insightful discussion we had.
