June 20, 2022
Listen Now:
In the special segment, “Why Is My Kid Crying?,” Laura and Shanna share the seemingly innocuous things that have caused their little ones to melt down, dissect the reasons behind the huge emotions, discuss how they handled the situations and explore how they might have done things differently. Also, Laura discusses dropping her toddler down to one nap, and Shanna talks about planting roots in her family home. Finally they share their BFPs and BFNs for the week. Shanna’s kids are 3 and 6 years old, and Laura’s kids are 3 years old and 15 months old.
Hosted by Laura Birek and Shanna Micko
Produced by Laura Birek, Shanna Micko and Steve Yager
Show Notes:
- "The Very Impatient Caterpillar"* by Ross Baruch. This book is Shanna's BFP this week. She and her girls love it for its silliness, funny characters and important life lesson.
