Parenting Great Kids With Dr. Meg Meeker

DR. MEG MEEKER with guests JON ACUFF Name something you want to do and then write down your first thoughts… Are they positive and encouraging? Or negative and self-critical? How we speak to and about ourselves is vitally important – not only to ourselves, but also to future generations. Our teenagers are watching us, listening to us – What we do, what we say, what we believe, how we act.
