I'm 59, married and a mom of 3 daughters, 41, 27 and 25, grandmother to 7 grandchildren, 5 boys and 2 girls who all live near me. I work full time and am engaged daily with local and nationwide families who are raising children. In my blog, I look forward to sharing my own theories of getting kids to listen, and great ways to hear your children to better understand how to keep them motivated and enthusiastic.
