This is our monthly special episode. Host parent educator Anna Seewald and her freind and colleague Sarah Maclaughlin answer listener questions. The questions they got this month: "Anna, question for your podcast for a friend. How do you stop a 13 year old boy from watching YouTube videos on pregnancy pros and cons? It started with some class in school that the kid missed, they talked about pregnancy so he watched a video about it at home but then it seems to have gotten out of hand. Some videos are pretty graphic. " "Hi Anna. It's Ranela. I have a question. how would you handle the fibbing? Lying about little things: lifting the toilet lid when urinating, not wiping the urine off the floor, eating something that belongs to someone else, having taken a shower, etc. " "I want to know how to handle jealousy between siblings if one is academically better than other and is appreciated by the family? " And of course...the voicemail question about handling BIG EMOTIONS. You don't want to miss. In the segment Examples from Our Homes they both share some good stories you don't want to miss. Yes, we mess up too-they say. In the segment Our Favorite Things Anna and Sarah share their favorite parenting books of the month. What are they reading and recommending? Check it out.
