Fabulous at 50 and Parenting as We Age - 323

Author: Pam Howard October 15, 2024 Duration: 9:33

As I celebrate half a century of life, I'm amazed at how much parenting has changed since I first became a mom.

The tiny hands I once held now belong to young adults, and our conversations have evolved from "eat your vegetables" to discussions about their hopes and dreams for the future.

This milestone birthday got me thinking: How do we stay connected with our kids as we all grow older?

This week, I'm sharing insights that have deepened my relationships with my daughters over the years.

Whether you're juggling sippy cups and planning play dates or teaching your teen to drive and fill out college applications, there's something in this episode for you.

Listen now and let's celebrate growing older and closer to our kids together!
