In Episodes #2 - #6, we did a great job of breaking down what "Focusing On Us" means to not only our children but to each other as respective partners. In Episode #7, we did a wrap up/overview of those episodes. If you haven't had an opportunity to listen, check it out as soon as you are done listening to this one 😉 For you older parents, there was a show called Pee Wee's Playhouse and in every episode, there was a word of the day! Every time someone said that word, everyone screamed! For this episode, OUR word is INTENTION (start screaming y'all!). Being intentional is so vital in communication with your partner and your children. Join us as we discuss: Introducing: "Being Intentional with Them" Parenting with Intention Being mindful in different situations and how you approach them Why it's difficult to build with intention if you are unaware of age appropriate behavior Showing them how to be a good person, disciplined and have values by example Teaching them how to intentionally pick up pieces Having a plan for when we are triggered Our children really do pay attention 👧🏾👦🏾👩🏾👨🏾👶🏾👧🏾🧔🏾👨🏾🧒🏾👩🏾👶🏾👧🏾🧔🏾 Us Them We wants to connect with YOU!  We want to hear all of your insights, ahas, your experiences and how they've impacted your parenting and more!!!  So come connect with us!

This week we are going to do things a little differently. Our conversation is going to be a wrap-up of the key topics of 'Focusing on Us'. Why? Well, to be honest, we weren't planning this 'summary' episode, but as with conscious parenting, sometimes things don't go as planned. In those moments, it good to reflect on where you are, re-evaluate and be solution-focused. With that in mind, we thought this would be a good point to share what 'Focusing on Us' has looked like for us since the launch of the podcast. We've been tested for today and the future. We've seen so many things. We don't give up.

Pop Quiz! Are parents given a manual for raising kids? Any guesses? The answer is: No, we don’t have a manual but we have our knowledge passed down from our parents we can implement for our kids.
