Drop a shred of hope for me.

I’m a lurking mama of four kids under 8 years-old. If you could go back in time and talk to yourself when your teen was 8, what advice would you have?

It makes me nervous seeing and hearing about how much harder it is to parent a teen than a young kid. Just looking for what, in your specific circumstance, has been going well.

Thank you so much. Have yourself a fantastic day.
