Nettie Reynolds – Writer

If you’re unsure about dating as a single parent, or how to introduce a new partner to your kids, listen in and find out from today’s guest, Nettie Reynolds, how single, yet supportive co-parenting has really worked for her and her partner. Nettie, a positive and supporting person with integrity and courage, is a storyteller, a performer, a hospital chaplain, and a single mom of two young adults. Listen in today and discover how she has successfully incorporated her partner into her life with her kids in a unique way- perhaps a way that could work for you too.

Today, Nettie talks to Robbin about:   Her transition from being married to being a single mom. Her rationale behind her crazy trip with her kids to the Grand Canyon to bury her wedding ring. How she learned that no matter what you do, as long as you’re safe and productive, it’s going to be okay. Her use of the word ‘transition’ rather than the word ‘divorce’ and the positive effect that it had on her kids. When and how she introduced dating into her single parent life. How she went about introducing her new sweetheart to her kids.

Young Writer’s Workshop
Young Writer’s Workshop is a wonderful day on which authors, poets, playwrights, songwriters, and journalists volunteer their time to share their love of writing with our 3rd through 5th graders. If you want to be amazed by the quality of writers our kids will get to work with on their own writing skills, see the list of writers and their bios below.
