As every season of parenthood comes, we often feel again and again that we don’t know how to parent. New challenges, new responsibilities, and new milestones all cause new stresses for parents. Today’s guest, as a mom of 4 grown children, shares some key tricks she has learned on how to parent well through all the stages.
Kristin Buchtel is the mother of 4 adult children and a grandmother. She is a former teacher and holds a Masters’s in Elementary Education. During her years as a parent, she and her husband created notes and plans that they used on their journey as parents. It became their most valuable parenting tool, a parenting plan. Kristin’s passion is to inspire others to find, plan, and embrace their own unique ways of parenting. She is the award-winning author and illustrator of Noteworthy Parenting: How to Use Your Own IDEAS to Create Your Parenting Roadmap and the companion journal, Noteworthy Parenting Roadmap: A Companion Journal to Note Your Best Parenting.
In today’s episode, we discuss…
- How parenting with a partner–when you are not on the same page–can cause a bigger struggle, especially in the teen years
- Creating parenting plans based on your stage of parenting life
- How to parent in terms of thinking ahead about rules around social media, cell phones, driving, dating, and so much more
- How to increase family bonding and FUN in your relationship with your kids
