Mama Opportunities
A short, encouraging podcast for Moms discussing common scenarios we encounter in daily life. With each scenario I will ask, “What is the opportunity?” and offer thoughts for consideration and questions that Moms can use as a springboard for reflection in their own lives.

Scaffolding
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What are you doing for your child that he can do for himself? What life skills does she need help with to learn? Scaffolding is a concept that parents can use. It is the idea that we support our kids while they are learning something and then figuratively step back when they can stand on their own.
