We look for variety of situations, and questions we can authentically weigh in on either from personal experience or from a helpful, global perspective. We're not experts or clinicians, and we can't always help with super specific family dynamics that we haven't personally experienced, so if your question isn't chosen it's not because we didn't read it or don't care! ♥️.
Listener Questions (Vol. 25): Episode 256
Does a toddler “need” a formal preschool program if it isn’t necessary for childcare purposes? Did we think about kids’ birthday timing when we were planning (or not planning) our pregnancies? How can a physically active toddler channel his energy for good during stuck-inside days? And what are Meagan and Sarah’s most memorable “mom milestones”? In this week’s episode we answer these questions with our personal stories and (solicited!) advice.
