18. Having the tough conversations with kids

Talking to your kids about safety, society, and anything else that comes up is easier if you make it a priority to open dialogue for your kids in a comfortable environment. The sooner we make talking about the nitty gritty stuff a normal piece of family conversation, the more likely or kids are going to come to us in the future.

03. Preparing Kids For Their Future By Teaching Life Skills

Welcome to episode 3 of the Turks and Chaos podcast.  In today’s episode I’ll be going over important life skills our kids need to learn and why these things are important to teach them early.

Are we harming our children by not teaching them enough basic life skills before they are on their own??

One study found that while 58 percent of 3- to 5-year-olds in the U.S. can navigate a smartphone, fewer than one out of six (15 percent) could make their own breakfast....
