How She Connects With Her Kids

Connecting with our kids is the big “why” of motherhood—the payoff for all the hard work and sacrifice. Sometimes it comes naturally and easy, sometimes it’s more complicated, and sometimes it’s unspeakably hard. But even then, we keep trying, because that’s what moms do.

In this episode, I share ideas about how moms connect with their kids, organized into eight main ideas:

1. Plan Connection Opportunities into Your Routine

2. Make Time to Talk

3. Show Interest in their Interests

4. Play Together

5. Work Together

6. Carve Out One-on-One Time

7. Tell Them You Love Them

8. Identify Pain Points and Find a Workaround
