Send us Fan Mail✨ In this video, I respond to advice given by Dr. John Delony on The Dr. John Delony Show. A wife called in asking whether it would be okay to have a third child even though her husband is worried about the financial strain and the toll the first year of life takes on a marriage.Dr. Delony encouraged the wife that it’s okay to move forward with another baby and figure out the money later. While I respect his perspective, I share why I disagree with this approach. I believe that finances, emotional health, and marital stability need to be discussed and prepared for before making such a life-changing decision.👶 Topics we’ll cover in this video:Why financial preparation matters when planning for another childThe reality of how a baby impacts marriage in the first yearHealthy ways for spouses to communicate when they don’t agree on family planningWhy love for children isn’t enough to shield a marriage from stress without preparation💬 Do you agree with Dr. John Delony’s advice, or do you think couples should prioritize financial and emotional readiness first?

Send us Fan MailAfter a terrible marriage that lasted almost ten years, two kids, and nearly a divorce in my second marriage, I want to share how to avoid getting stuck in a relationship you'll regret. My rules aren’t just about relationships; they also help prevent bringing children into the world who end up in broken homes because their parents split up. I'll also talk about the red flags to watch for while following my "5-Year Rules." These rules can help you build a strong, lasting relationship and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I share my experience with a class that transformed my parenting skills. It’s called the Triple P Positive Parenting Program, and it’s available for free in a few states. According to their website, this program is backed by over 35 years of research and incorporates social learning, cognitive behavioral theories, and insights into risk factors for social and behavioral issues in children. The goal is to empower parents with the skills and confidence to handle family challenges independently. Even if you can’t access these classes for free in your state, I highly recommend investing in them—they can truly make a difference in your parenting journey and help prevent childhood trauma. I also discuss additional free resources, and you can find all the relevant links below.Trip-P Parenting Classes For Parents-https://www.triplep-parenting.com/Representatives of agencies, organizations, jurisdictions or government that would like to discuss implementing Triple P in your region, or inquire about training your staff to deliver Triple P to parents-https://www.triplep.net/glo-en/contact/local-contacts/Benefits of Parenting Classes-https://www.wilder.org/sites/default/files/imports/LitReviewSummary_10-16.pdfThe Science Of Parenting (free classes)-https://www.edx.org/Pampers Parening-https://www.pampers.com/en-usFree Digital Parenting Books-https://www.hoopladigital.com/
