Here's Something Cool
Very cool, Liz! I'm a big Katie fan.
I watched it this morning and it was such a great discussion of what I fear about most in my parenting. I am a late 30s/40s mom of preschoolers and am fairly laid back and confident in my skills. However, so much of what I see from other parents is so opposite of what I consider effective parenting I constantly second guess myself. Liz & Ashley put me right back into my comfort zone that what I feel in my gut is right for my kids is what they need. Excellent discussion on how to effectively praise the effort and not the result. Also interesting segment on 'entitlement' attitudes.
Thanks Liz & Ashley!
Love it Liz. You go.
