Co-hosts, Chris and Shante, have a #raw #unscripted #conversation about #transition stages of parenting. It’s #fun and #upbeat while giving the audience something to ponder. #ThinkAboutIt

The hosts welcome Maria Morris, a Pastoral Counselor, pre-licensed Therapist, and Certified Life Coach. She practices at the Therapy Resource Group. You can find out more about her in the “Meet The Team” section of their site https://therapyresourcegroup.org/about-us/

Maria talks with Chris and Shante and helps them explore ways to #navigate #parenting through the many transition seasons of #childhood.  They spend a lot of time discussing the transition of the later years because it seems to be when we have little to no #control over our children but still a lot of responsibility for their well-being. 

They also discuss how to tell the difference between a #normal transition and when something deeper may be happening. 

They end the conversation by telling parents how to deal with the transition. 

Control what you can and let go of what you can’t. Your parenting journey will look different than others. We should not put society’s standards as expectations on our children; however, there are developmental milestones that can help guide us. 

Get off the internet. Start at an early age, OR NOW, to help your child know they are safe. 

Big Idea: Transition stages are going to happen. Get a good community for support. Buckle up. Don’t take it personally, unless it’s personal.
