About this listen

No one gave us a manual to raise our kids. Luckily, moms, we’re all in this together. Join the Council of Moms as we tackle the issues we all face as parents–everything from picky eating to anxiety to teaching our kids adulting skills. The Council of Moms covers it all with humor, honesty, compassion, and in-the-trenches experience because we know that the only perfect parent is the one that keeps trying. So come be a part of our council and know that you’re not alone in this. Besides, it’s cheaper than therapy.© 2025 BYU Broadcasting Parenting & Families Personal Development Personal Success Relationships Social Sciences

  • My Kids' Friends Have More Money And It's Getting Awkward
    May 9 2025
    Presents, vacations, toys, clothes—it can get awkward when kids want everything they see at a friend’s house. Or when their parents suggest group activities and playdates that are way out of budget. How do you have healthy conversations about money when your kids notice the contrast between your lifestyle and what they see in the community around them? Lisa and the Council of Moms: Josephine, Wendy Mar, and Hilary Craner, discuss the challenges of parenting in a world of socioeconomic comparisons. They share personal experiences about family finance conversations, shifting perspectives on materialism, and creating meaningful family experiences without overspending.

  • Messy rooms and cleaning skills: is it too late?
    May 2 2025
    Clean, previously folded laundry is strewn across your child's bedroom floor, amid forgotten school papers and cups which you specifically asked be returned to the sink. What do you do? And beyond just this messy room, how do you help kids successfully manage their personal spaces so that they have the skills to live independently? And is it too late for cleaning-impaired kids to learn the skills? Lisa and the Council of Moms— Ruth Aguirre, Whitney Call, and Lindsay Clark, dive into the challenges of teaching kids cleanliness, as well as identifying what's most important—finding the right balance of restoring order and allowing a healthy amount of chaos, and separating the societal pressure of appearances from healthy personal habits.
