Customer Reviews
A meaningful car ride
Long weekend car rides with my husband are usually a time to catch up on schedules and to-dos or totally zone out with loud music. Today, headed west on 290W, we tried something different and listened to the first three installments of Zen Parenting. Our three year-old daughter quickly fell asleep likely due to Cathy and Todd's super smooth and comforting radio voices, while my husband and I abandoned our schedules and "to-do" lists and focused on what is truly important - ourselves, each other and the little girl sleeping in the back seat. Listening to Todd and Cathy got us out of our heads and gave us an opportunity to stop and think about whether we really are devoting enough time to self-care, talking and listening to each other and practicing what we preach for our daughter. It sparked coversation about what maybe we can work on as parents and as a couple and prompted many moments of gratitude and praise for those things we already do for each other and our daughter.
Thanks, Todd and Cathy. We're looking forward to more car rides with Zen Parenting!
zen parenting helps me as a nanny
I appreciate the option of listening to the show after it's recorded, but i can't resist.....i always listen to it live! Todd and Cathy's fresh ideas on parenting are insightful yet simple. Their suggestions can easily be applied in my field of work as a nanny, dealing with tantrums, communication and discipline. Cathy's knowledge and years of experience working with children professionally before having her own children proves her understanding of the different developmental stages. Cathy and Todd's experiences as parents are honest and humble. They are a great balance and they speak the truth. The foundation that they build from is about balance, self-awareness and self-care, which is effective in achieving healthy relationships with their children, each other and themselves individually. Their authenticity is obvious by their willingness to share what works, but also their experiences on what hasn't worked. I look forward to learning more about how to prepare myself for motherhood, but for now I am learning tools to bring with me in my work with children professionally.
I can
I love this podcast! I subscribe to a few parenting podcasts but this one is not to be missed! I actually look forward to Tuesday. Cathy and Todd are a fun couple and they have many valuable suggestions and advice for parenting. Subscribe! I wish they did 2 a week!
