    A listener wants her son to learn to swim after a previous bad experience at swimming lessons. Should she push him to go? How can she convince him to try again when he won’t even address the topic? While some activities are optional, knowing how to swim isn’t, so we dive into solutions.

    How Denying A Problem Keeps Families Stuck & Disconnected

    17/04/2026 | 34 mins.
    Lynn often talks about the sizable “sweet spot of normal.” Our children will be sad, angry, confused and rejected and we can guide them through the ups and downs.

    03/04/2026 | 31 mins.
