Join the Council of Moms as we tackle the issues we all face as parents–everything from picky eating to anxiety to teaching our kids adulting skills. The Council of Moms covers it all with humor, honesty, compassion, and in-the-trenches experience because we know that the only perfect parent is the one that keeps trying. So come be a part of our council and know that you’re not alone in this. Besides, it’s cheaper than therapy.© 2025 BYU Broadcasting Parenting & Families Personal Development Personal Success Relationships Social Sciences
