Simple Steps to Build Habits of Work with Jennifer Pepito

Welcome to episode 178!

Work is essential for things like hand-eye coordination, a sense of self-esteem and belonging in children, and a core building block for future success. 

How do we build this habit, though, without destroying childhoods, derailing parent-child relationships, or raising children who hide when they see us coming for fear of being tasked with work. 

Jennifer takes you through the work and life of "Ma Moody" to discover keys to raising children who love work, who want to work with you, and building good habits without taking away from a child's childhood.
