Hey Friends~  When we talk about a lot of stuff with our kids - the stuff that isn’t the important stuff; the stuff that is inconsequential, we develop the habit of interaction.  When 90% of your interactions are wonderful, and then the hard conversations that do necessarily come, won’t be as big of a deal. The Key:  have LOTS of conversations..  Why?  Because the inconsequential conversations have created a pathway to communicate.  You have cut a bedrock so that you can talk about the important stuff, too.   This is just one concept that you will  hear in this fantastic,  golden-ideas filled episode with author, Gina Prosch.  Other topics in this episode: How freedom happens when we don’t fear that failure.   Give kids information in ways they can understand. Helping children learn how to be gracious and forgiving.   Activities that push you to push yourself.. is PLAY.    Always cheering you on!  Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn:  [email protected] ABOUT THE GUEST:   Gina Prosch created #thisdaysjoy, a 10-year-long odyssey of looking for joy each and every day.
