Everyday Rockstar (0:00:00) Richie talks with this week’s featured Everyday Rockstar. You can send your Everyday Rockstar nominations to thelisashow@byu.edu. Moving with Kids (0:05:52) Moving. It’s almost a swear word in my family. Moving with kids can be a nightmare, or a fun adventure. But what is it that draws that dividing line between a month of meltdowns and a fresh new start? Here with us on the show today is clinical psychologist, parenting expert, and founder of Aha Parenting, Dr. Laura Markham.
