One Free Family

Some kids love it when their parents come around and offer new ideas for activities. They love to go out spontaneously, are happy to drop everything for an impromptu art project, and feel a sense of thrill at trying new things. And then there's everyone else. In this episode, James and Taylor talk about the strategies they use to expose their kids to new things without causing them to feel pressured. They talk about how to offer up ideas without making a child feel like they must accept, how to gain credibility with our kids so they don't feel annoyed at our offers, and how to find joy in whatever our kids are getting up to.
