Come along for the ride on this episode of The Fresh Start Family Show with the fun and energetic JJ Campbell, host of Along for the Ride – a podcast that uses conversation and game show-inspired questions to help our inevitable car travel time be more enjoyable for all.
It’s so easy to give in to our kids asking for screens before we even get out of the driveway! If this doesn’t sit well with you, you’re not alone. JJ is committed to helping us have fun in the car with screen-free connection for the whole family.
Tune in to hear Wendy and JJ chat about making simple changes & also incorporating fun into our car-time routine.
What if you could be an effective, firm & kind parent WITHOUT relying on fear, force, bribery & rewards?
Imagine learning a new way of firm (AND kind) parenting so you can end painful generational parenting cycles and create family legacies & memories YOU are proud of?
All while getting your kids to cooperate with your rules and boundaries with ease.
IMAGINE …
Parenting your kids with calm & confidence each day in a way that causes them to do what’s asked of them because they WANT to (not because they HAVE to) … because you’re helping to build essential life skills that have them behaving well & being respectful when you’re NOT looking!
