Maybe your kids are saying, “Please get me a puppy! I promise I’ll take care of it.” Or maybe your dog was your “baby” before you decided to start a family. Either way, there is much to think about as you consider such a big family change. But Kate Anders, owner of Pretty Good Dog and an expert in both dog training and parent education, brings a wealth of information and practical tips to this week’s Mom Enough show. Marti only wishes she’d had Kate’s good advice before she brought a puppy into her family when Erin and her brother were young kids!
Stay tuned after this discussion for this month’s brief Relationships that Nurture feature, brought to you by St. David’s Center for Child and Family Development. This month’s feature focuses on signs and symptoms of depression in young children – and yes, even young children can be depressed!
