Parenting is hard. We know that’s an obvious statement. But some parts are decidedly harder than others, and one of them is discipline. That’s why we’re happy to be chatting with school psychologist Lynn Burrell, who’s also the co-founder of our sponsor Weldon. She offers tips, tricks, and helpful advice when it comes to tackling this challenging issue. And as always, we close out our show with our cool picks of the week.
