Connecting with Kids

Parenting
Written By Whitney Archibald

Connecting with your kids takes effort, creativity, patience--and a lot of experimentation! Whitney Archibald, Angelynn Singley, and Paola Jellings, who have (gasp) 18 children between them, talk about experiments they've tested to connect with their kids, and come up with a few for you to try. Then, four contributors share their ideas as well.

Here are the books mentioned in this episode:
