The “Consult a Counselor Series” is a segment of the Free to Be Mindful Podcast, which answers parenting related questions to help caregivers live life mindfully.
Today’s question is: “I really don’t know how to ask this - but I don’t know how to connect with my kids. I’m barely ever with them because of my long work hours. Besides asking them how they’re doing, and checking to see how they’re doing in school, I really don’t know what to talk with them about, or to play with them. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.”
