The BEST Conversation With My Four-Year-Old!

This is a completely impromptu episode I had to release because it shares my love for all children (and, of course, my kiddos) with all of you! My son, Ryaan, is four years old and loves playing with my podcast mic. So, the other day after preschool, I had him join me for a conversation.

We talk about normal four-year-old things!

  • Car washes
  • Favorite foods and vegetables
  • What makes us feel better when we’re sad
  • And, of course, we sing a song from Frozen

This episode is kid-friendly, and I encourage you to listen to it with your toddlers or preschoolers!

Disclaimer: the word penis is said because we teach our son anatomic body parts, and it came up in this impromptu conversation!

And who doesn’t love singing songs with the four year old? So I hope you enjoyed that. And if you did, make sure you leave a review or rating or share it so that I know that you want more of these conversations with Ryaan or Vera as she grows up, because I love having them on the show. To thank you for tuning in for this week’s episode.
