The Stages Of Raising Kids

Send us Fan MailWe debate which stages of raising kids are genuinely fun and which ones test your sanity the most, from helpless babies to toddlers on a mission to break everything. We also get real about teens and adult kids at home, and why rules only matter when we actually enforce them. • our favorite child stages and why • baby stress vs crawling exploration vs toddler chaos • how family parties feel with little kids vs older kids • teen attitude, privacy battles, and morning wakeups • adult kids living at home, rent talk, and “my house, my rules” • setting boundaries that stick and what happens when we cave • processed snacks, homemade fruit snacks, and changing habits • practical parenting consequences and consistency over speeches Thank you for listening to Top Shelf Stories every Tuesday. We will be back next Tuesday.
