Clarity; balance; peace… Sometimes it can be hard to feel that we have any of these in our frantic homes and lives.
Today's guest, Meagan Wilson, specializes in helping families reconnect with those positive feelings, and best of all helps us bring those positive feelings to our children.
In our conversation we talk about:
– The best kind of learning for little kids
– How to get more of that into our kiddos' lives
– The importance of wonderful things like daily rhythms and self-directed play into our family lives
I hope you, like me, come away with the feeling of hope.
That is what today's guest brings to our conversation.
In the Parenting News segment of the show:

Today I share about two helpful free guides I offer.
While the podcast is long-form – your opportunity to look into the mind of a child development expert – the free guides are super quick.
You can watch the video, read the checklist, and immediately handle the temper tantrums or get started with potty training (depending on which guide you choose : )
One of the most concerning things for us parents is that our kids will not have any friends.
Maybe because we all remember that feeling of being lonely, or singled out.
We can feel kind of helpless at the same time. You may be feeling like either the process is so intuitive that you can't teach it, or you may even be thinking "I don't have that many friends, who am I to be trying to teach my child how to make friends?"
In this episode I deconstruct this process.
I offer 4 ways to help your child make friends.
ALSO in Parenting News: a member of the We Turned Out Okay Facebook group makes the New York Times! For something really special!

If you've ever struggled with less-than-quality childcare, whether in daycare or in a school setting, today's episode is for you!
Because you are not alone. I've been working closely with people whose childcare providers do inscrutable things – one mom tells of an "aggression journal" her 3-year-old son's childcare teachers are keeping about him! – and another who found her most recent parent-teacher conference frightening and overwhelming.
Which is why today I'm bringing you, in audio format, the class I taught just last week, all about "How to get quality childcare."
During this master class I share:
1) The three most important keys to finding the best childcare
2) One crucial factor that can hold you back from getting quality childcare
3) The questions you should - and should not - ask potential and current childcare providers
4) An Open House Tour of the private coaching community where quality childcare has been our in-depth focus for the last 3 months
5) A Case Study of one class attendee, Amanda, and her 3-year-old son's struggles with nap time at daycare
I hope it's super helpful as your child moves out into the wider world, in daycare, preschool, or school!
