Kids Talk - Thanks Jackie!

Once again, we were lucky to have Jackie (family therapist) with us to share her wisdom. I wasn't able to be there - very disappointed. Below is the two handouts she shared with the group. There's some awesome tips in there for the dreaded potty training!! Thanks so much for your time Jackie!

P.S. I like to think of stretchmarks as my scars of love... The love of my child.
