Dr. Laura:
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only parent who is caring enough to teach my children about compassion. When I pick up my two kids from middle and high school, we always immediately talk about any conflicts or concerns with other kids. And we discuss how to work through it.
Full-time parenting has become so rare. When I tell people that I'm a stay-at-home mother, they always reply with, "What else do you do?" Like it is just not enough to be staying at home with your kids! I could go back to being a nurse, but right now, I'm choosing not to do that. Seventh through the tenth grades are the most crucial time to be there for your children. They're not driving yet, and their hormones are going crazy! They need parents who are stable and will be a moral compass for them. For me, this is a lot harder than escaping to work.
Thank you for keeping the lessons coming every day on your program. I listen and learn new information every time I tune in!
