On this episode of Raising & Rising, we speak with Jessica from Oklahoma. Jessica is an Air Force spouse, pillar of her community, and devoted mother of two. Our focus today is on her oldest daughter, Stella. Stella is an intelligent and spirited 5-year-old girl with a knack for expert negotiation. Whether it's arguing her way into a later bedtime or bargaining for a different dinner, Stella tests Jessica’s boundaries on a daily basis. Today, we discuss how to successfully transition from one activity to another, the importance of stepping into your child’s world before you get them out, and the art of reasoning with your children. Welcome Jessica!
