Parenting Isn't One-Size-Fits-All, Trust Your Parenting, Every Kid Is Different | EP 28
from Rydel's Van Talk · host Rydel Funk
In this episode of Van Talk, we’re talking about flexibility in parenting and why it’s okay to change your mind as you learn and grow.We share why every child is different, how something that works beautifully for one kid might not work for another, and why being willing to try new things can make all the difference.We also talk potty training tips, including why a portable potty chair can be a lifesaver in those early stages, and ways to help quieter kids feel comfortable opening up, sharing, and finding their voice.The conversation touches on screen time, dance, outside opinions, and why we believe parents should feel confident making decisions that fit their own family. We also discuss the importance of always having your child’s back, especially when relatives or other adults make comments that don’t sit right.We share thoughts on hosting gatherings, handling feelings of being left out, and navigating the reality that both parents and kids will have off days. Sometimes growth isn’t linear, and sometimes you have to go back and reinforce the family standards you’ve been working on all along.
