Guests:
Kristin MacDermott
Robby and Treva aren’t parents, but they’re giving much respect to the (single) parents out there doing the heavy
lifting. Managing home, work, life, kids AND a love life is never easy, but doing it in a pandemic takes made skills and patience.
This week’s guest, licensed marriage and family therapist Kristin MacDermott, shares her tips, tools, and strategies for successful pandemic parenting.
From knowing your roles, to managing expectations and setting healthy boundaries, to instilling respect, creating structure, and building confidence, we’re helping parents of all kinds get a grip and level-up their skills during the pandemic and beyond.
