42: Emotional Kids...what do you say when daddy is gone again?

Today I am getting really raw with you guys. I recorded todays episode in real time after an incredibly emotional morning with my daughter missing her daddy.

I share with you the tools we have and do use to help her cope, how sometimes just talking about it doesn't help.

How to have grace with yourself as a parent to navigate these emotional eruptions while still managing your own emotions and responsibilities while single parenting.

Finally I share with you the next steps we are going to try to help our military kid cope with lots of separations.

Here are links to the tools I talked about in the show:

Zenimals: A mindfulness mediation tool for kids

The Big Life Journal for kids
