The Kids They Are A-Changin'

The place where moms talk.

Kids change fast, and parents are often just trying to keep up. This week on Mom Talk we're discussing how your parenting style changes as kids age and as new members are added to the family.

As your children have gotten older  (oh, they grow up so fast) how has your parenting style evolved to keep up? Have you become more or less strict? Emphasized certain values over others? What moments have caused you to re-evaluate?

For parents who have more than one child, has your parenting style changed from your first child to your last? What lessons did you learn from your first, and how did you apply those lessons to raising subsequent children?

Feel free to share humorous stories about "awakening" moments, tips and lessons learned and anything else you think parents want to know. That's Mom Talk!
