Ep 804 | My Mom on Mothering Toddlers, Teens & Adults | Guest: Lisa Simmons

Today we have a very special Mother's Day guest – Allie's mom! She's here to talk about raising children from babies to adults. We start out with some advice for mothers of babies and toddlers: you can't do everything, and that's OK. We talk about the pressure to have it all together and how quickly it will all go by. We also discuss how raising children can be categorized into three six-year segments, and we go through some advice for each segment. We'll share some stories from childhood and give some advice to the mom who is scared to have kids. We hope this episode encourages all you moms and moms-to-be out there! --- Timecodes: (00:51) Interview begins (01:35) Advice to moms of kids ages 0-6 / you can't do everything (07:14) Time goes by quickly (12:18) Advice to moms of kids ages 6-12 (17:32) Sleepovers, friendships & bullying (22:59) Devices & social media (24:44) Advice to moms of kids ages 12-18 / curfews (39:26) Advice to moms of adults (41:12) Grandparents (43:55) Advice to the mom who is scared to have kids --- Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile — go to PatriotMobile.com/ALLIE or call 878-PATRIOT and use promo code 'ALLIE' to get free activation!
