Sarah and Laura discuss their favorite aspects of this age group as well was some difficulties - some which they have gotten better at, and some which are still just hard! Topics discussed include hobbies and interests, sibling rivalry, 1:1 time, homework, friend issues, screens, and more. In the Q&A, a listener writes in a fairly common (and difficult!) question about pondering trying for kid #3.
