We are super excited to have Brooke Romney on this podcast episode! In this interview, we discuss helping kids step out of their comfort zones, embracing mistakes, praising effort over outcomes, and setting clear expectations for children. We also have some great tips for parents too about remembering that every new parenting step means new things to learn and to allow yourself grace even when you're a seasoned parent.

You can find Brooke Romney on instagram @bookeromneywrites. We also highly recommend her books 52 Manners for Modern Kids and 52 Manners for Modern Teens.
