Reagan Washington: Mother’s Day Q&A

Mother’s Day is right around the corner and this special episode is dedicated to every Mother!      As a parent, it’s normal for us to talk “at” or “to” our kids, but not necessarily talk “with” them.  Our children are extremely observant and not only do they learn from the lessons we teach them, but they also watch our actions and pull qualities that help them shape their response to situations. Having conversations with our kids is so important and many of them have so many questions regarding how to navigate in this world.    As a mother, it was hard for me to accept that my daughter is an individual being with various thoughts, opinions, emotions and experiences. At the age of 13, she’s experiencing things I never have, and this week, I finally got a chance to sit down with the “Mini Money Maven” herself, to answer some of the questions that she has about life.    To make things fun, we decided that instead of interviewing her, Reagan has the opportunity to ask me anything. From stories about my middle school days, to questions about motherhood and raising a teenager, listen in as my daughter, Reagan Washington, hosts this special episode with a Mother’s Day Q&A.    Reagan’s questions from this episode include: What Is Your Most Memorable Day In Middle School - 4:18 What Did I Do As A Child That Frustrates You Or That You Love? - 8:06 What Would You Name Me If I was a Boy? - 11:27 What Is Your Favorite TV Show As A Kid? - 16:38 What’s The Hardest Thing About Raising Children? - 18:48 What’s The Funniest Thing I’ve Ever Said Or Did As A Kid? - 22:28 Do I have More Of Your Good Qualities or Bad Qualities? - 23:40 Which Of My School Friends (Or Their Parents) Did You Dislike The Least? - 31:02   This episode is brought to you by our complimentary Purpose Chasers community.
