Chris, Kayla, and Ryan sit down with their friend Daren Jones and reflect on all things parenting. Daren is the Associate Director of Training & Consultation services with the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development (KPICD) at TCU. We recently had a conversation with our friend Daren Jones and reflected on all things parenting. In the midst of the discussion, Daren shared this piece of wisdom with us, "The kids are going to be as good as we are. So if we suck, guess what? We're going to have a long day." So, what are we doing to build our skills as parents? What are we doing to make sure our histories don't become buttons that get pushed? What are we doing to make sure we're good today? These are questions we must have answers to.   One Big Happy Home Web | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok | Email Produced by Dallas Stacy
