During the first half of the hour, Ann Dunnewold, M.A., Ph.D, the host of The Sanity Hour and a licensed psychologist in Dallas focused on women's coping issues will be featuring a live interview with Janis, who writes the blog MommyBlogExpert.blogspot.com, in addition to being the mom of triplets plus one more all born within a year. The second half-hour Dr. Dunnewold will be talking to a mom of twins, age 2-1/2.
Since Janis' triplets are almost 13 and big brother is 14 she will be sharing her advice on parenting multiples who are tweens -- the stage she has successfully just survived -- during the show. She'll also touch on some lessons learned so far on-the-job as a mother now raising four teens (two girls, two boys).
Whether you have twin or triplet tweens or teens, or "just" two or more singleton kids ranging in age from 8 to 15, parenting is likely to be particularly challenging right now. Don't miss this episode of The Sanity Hour where you'll be able to hear first-hand all the chat about some of the toughest tween and teen issues moms face today, as well as some ideas for solutions that can help solve them.
Just a bit of what will be covered:
- Learning how to not feel guilty enabling you to parent your kids through the tween & teen years with confidence
- Accepting kids for who they are, not who you want them to be, especially when it comes to high school and college applications
- Creating a balance in family life to encourage a peaceful home life for all
- Keeping the window of communication open with kids during the turbulent teens
- Motivating, rather than over-protecting, your sons and daughters to guide them in making their own responsible decisions about school, socially, and life choices
- Working hard and playing hard with your kids as they grow into young adults
