How Do You Make Parenting Decisions That Fit Your Family?

In this warm, reflective episode, Meg and Kerri look back on the parenting choices that fit their families best—from choosing a preschool to homework habits, after school snack ideas, and the blur of sports, dance, and late-night schoolwork. What makes the conversation helpful is their honest reminder that there’s no perfect formula: you make the best decision you can in each season, whether you’re setting sleepover rules for kids, balancing extracurriculars with sleep, or learning when to step in and when to let consequences do the teaching. #Parenting #ParentingJourney #AfterSchoolRoutine #FamilyLife #RaisingKids #IntentionalParenting The views, opinions, and information expressed in this episode are solely those of the hosts and guests.
