Kelly talks about really listening to our kids and the importance of doing so without the goal of fixing. While it is soothing for us, she says, to solve problems for our kids, it is ten times more soothing to know that they can problem-solve for themselves. Truly listening allows parents to get to "the thing behind the thing behind the thing"--what kids are really trying to convey.

Kelly tackles the power of saying "no," and reflects on how developing this skill has added so much freedom to her life, and she gets candid about looking back on the way she was raised to inform her own parenting. She delivers her musings, observations, and wisdom with humility, humor, and a great talent for relatability.
