"Learning About Your Littles" with Marla McBride Certified Parent Educator-Milestone Development, Sleep Training, Discipline, Parenting Talks

Marla McBridewww.thegrowingparent.net

Do you wish your babies came with instructions? Are you afraid of getting it all wrong? Do you have questions about discipline, sleeping through the night and potty learning? Do you want to do things differently than your parents did? 


I am so excited you're here! This podcast will help you create more peace in your home, help your child be capable, independent & curious all while helping you enjoy this special phase of your parenting journey. 


Hey I’m Marla, a Certified Parent Educator, wife, mom of three and Jesus Follower. Being a parent is the toughest job you will NEVER train for. Even with all of my education and training I still lacked confidence and felt like I didn’t know what I was doing. I was expecting perfection from myself and it caused me to be exhausted. 

I realized that I needed to cling to two things, Jesus and good developmental principles.  I also needed to give myself a break.  I realized that if I wanted to parent well and enjoy the journey, I needed to trust Jesus with my children and my parenting. I needed to lean into how children are wired from the beginning. 


If you are ready to simplify your parenting, grow in your confidence and navigate those challenging phases of the first five years of life with grace and knowledge - this podcast is for you!


It’s time to hop in your family truckster, buckle in those littles, grab your favorite beverage and spend some time Learning about your littles.
