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.
Itโs so easy to give in to our kids asking for screens before we even get out of the driveway! If this doesnโt sit well with you, youโre 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.
