    Dr. Richelle plays no games when it comes to talking about raising sons and everything that comes with it. Starting from when they are small on up.

  • Such a timely important podcast!

    Our world is getting increasingly challenging to grow up in, especially for a Christian child. That's why I'm so grateful that Dr. Richelle has started this podcast. Even though my son is only 4 years old, I am soaking up all of Dr. Richelle's words of wisdom and already talked about the tips from the episode on how to choose friends with my 8 year old daughter. Many of these tips and practical wise advice can be used on our children - no matter their age or gender. Thank you for this wonderful ... more

  • What to do when you are struggling to let your child grow up.

    I truly enjoyed the podcast. Kids are so fearless, and ready for new challenges. We transfer limits and boundaries when we put our past life experiences on them. In an attempt to shield our beloved babies from disappointment and pain that comes with negative experiences, we instill fear. This podcast made me think about limits I have placed on myself because of fear. Thank you Dr. Chelle!
