Common Problems
bySarah Mackenzie

Bad days – we all have them, right? We can’t really avoid that, but we can have a strategy tucked into our pocket- a simple strategy that will help us save a bad day.

As a mama of 6 kids – preschool through high school – I sure do. So today, I’m talking how to save those no good, very bad days! 😉

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • a simple strategy that is the ultimate reset button
  • the genre of books that saves the day time and time again
  • what Jim Trelease and Andrew Pudewa say is the most important part of your school day (I bet you can guess!)
