Flat Tire Andy's "Ride With Me" Podcast

Before introducing your kids to a new boyfriend or girlfriend, think about what could happen. A new person can be confusing for a child. If that person becomes verbally or physically abusive, it can cause fear, stress, and lasting hurt. Kids need safety, stability, and time to adjust—not another person who could hurt them.Sponsor Solar X InsuranceFacebook: Solarx Auto InsuranceInstagram: solarx_insurance_agencyTiktok: solarx_insurance_05www.slxinsurance.com(877)736-4719HostIG: Ride_with_meTiktok: FTA_PodcastYouTube: FTA_PodcastHotline: 818 806 8595
