When we became parents, no one told us…ha, okay, scratch that. Everyone told us that there’d be terrible twos, terrible threes, terrible tweens (oy) and all sorts of tantrums and difficult behaviors to manage. Experts to the rescue!
This week on Spawned with Kristen and Liz, we were lucky to sit down and get some free advice from family coach and licensed social worker Catherine Pearlman, author of Ignore It!: How Selectively Looking the Other Way Can Decrease Behavioral Problems and Increase Parenting Satisfaction and ask her about her compelling technique for essentially ignoring your kids in all the right ways.

About This Week’s Sponsor
Homer is the awesome learn to read app for kids that we have recommended for years on Cool Mom Tech, because it’s such an effective way to help kids 2 to 8 learn to read by tapping into their own interests to motivate them.
They’ve built custom reading pathways around your own child’s interests, with personalized lessons and activities to get them even more excited to read every day. A recent study conducted by the former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Education concluded that just 15 minutes a day with Homer can increase early reading scores by 74%. So it’s not only fun, it’s incredibly effective.
