Topic: Improving Children’s Behavior

Today we have our first ever Fri-Date guest, Megg. She played soccer with Kim in high school, and she’s grown into a badass behavior counselor with a love-over-fear approach. When Sophia first started going to a new school, she had a lot of behavioral issues, and Megg was the one who helped us work through them. She’s going to offer some tools you can use to help manage unwanted behaviors in your kids without the nasty side effects.
