Best of Both Worlds podcast: Positive parenting milestones
It’s one of the worst phrases said to parents of young kids: “Just you wait!” The idea is that however tough you have it, life will be tougher in the future.
But while it is true that bigger kids can have bigger problems (and children develop in different ways and at different paces) there can also be a lot of positive milestones too.
This week’s episode of Best of Both Worlds (also recorded several weeks ago, for those following Sarah’s story) looks at positive parenting milestones. From kids being able to tell you what’s wrong, to getting more independent, to being able to stay home alone, and even watch their younger siblings, there is a lot to look forward to.
In the Q&A, we talk about when personal and family tasks get done. This is especially tricky if people are at a workplace full time.
Please give the episode a listen, and as always we welcome ratings and reviews.

9 小时前It is perhaps the worst thing you can say. There's so much complaining, though. And, where I live, as an older person, I get tired of hearing how young moms have the worst time of anyone, so we shouldn't ask them to serve others, or to do anything, and we should lighten their load. When I was their age, I was serving and doing so many things for others. I try to tell them to enjoy and treasure this time with their children. Because you're going to miss it! And it's hard not to tell them, "You have no idea how much energy you have" ??! Because no matter how tired I was, even when I was 100 pounds overweight, but in my 40s, it doesn't compare to being in my late 60s. Every age has its pros and cons. Every life is unique. Treasure yours and stop complaining! Thank you for allowing this little rant:)
