They discuss the right time to make the introduction, handling children's reactions, and their biggest tips and tricks to help things go as smoothly as possible (and what to do if sh*t hits the fan). Nana shares the importance of building trust and being honest throughout the process. Tune in to today's episode for some helpful advice on a sometimes sticky situation.
