Hello all my listeners and I have such a backlog of questions that people have sent in over the last month or two while I've been busy attending to my own family and our family wedding and it's been a beautiful exceptionally busy summer so I have been backlogging your questions and trust me I'll get to them.

This is a part one, short my take on it, about meeting the needs of older kids when babies are absorbing so much time.

A short episode from a fan mail...such great questions. Is it a rough season? Why does having a home centred life matter?

In today's episode I answer questions on discipline from two moms who share similar challenges. What can we actually do when our kids are being defiant and disobedient? What if we are concerned that a gentle approach may be perceived as permissiveness? What if we feel that we have failed as a mom? Ohhhh how we all can relate!
