CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 95

In this episode I talk to JoAnn Crohn, former elementary school teacher and podcast host of No Guilt Mom. She is the author of Me and My Friendships, to help kids learn more about themselves and build friendships with other kids. We cover a lot of topics in the episode, including:

What even is ‘too’ emotional?
The social differences between middle and elementary school
Finding ‘your’ people
Finding yourself and not molding into a different person with different friends
What are the key characteristics of a good friend?
Using an outside source to help your kids learn, rather than doing it directly
How making assumptions about your kids can be damaging
