Episode # 43: Real (mom) Talk-- Managing Life with a Toddler & Newborn

Jamie sits down with second time mom, Rachel (and her 4 week old baby, Maeve), who Jamie was first introduced to in her Mom’s Survival Guide (support group). Rachel approached Jamie with a few questions involving transitioning from 1 kid to 2, and the accompanying challenging toddler behaviors. We figured many of you are in the same boat— so why not turn these questions into an episode?

Discussed in this episode:
-Bringing home baby
-Sibling transitions
-Transitioning from 1 to 2 kids (vs. becoming a parent for the first time)
-Toddler transitions
-Toddler bedtime
-Toddler feelings
-Logistics of parenting more than one child
-The comparison game
-Creating personal boundaries
-Making time for yourself, your partner, and your kids
-Discipline approaches
-Pushing boundaries
-Dealing with daycare
-Attention seeking behavior
