If you are a solo mom of multiple children and struggling to communicate effectively with them, this episode is for you.
Siris's practical advice will help you build stronger relationships with your children and create a more harmonious home environment.
Here are some of the key takeaways from the interview:
- It is important to be intentional about communication. Make time for regular conversations with your children, even if it's just for a few minutes each day.
