Hello, my name is Todd Adams.

This is Kathy Adams.

Welcome to Zen Parenting Radio on the plate of things we're going to talk about today.

Stillness, your buddy, Ed Bacon.

Well, we're going to continue discussing that book that we talked last week about the eight habits of love.

Number one was generosity, which we talked about last week.

This week.

Number two is stillness, which we've discussed before on this show, but always necessitates more conversation.

Okay.

And then the next thing is, have you ever felt like you are the only parent that has to do certain things as far as your

kids being extra needy? And you're the only parent that has to go with them somewhere.

Right. Like there is a field trip and your kid feels like you have to stay or, you know,

they go into a dance class and they tell you they want you

to stay. So it's the balance between are we, am I spoiling my kid if I go along or I'm, I'm harming

them if I don't go along? Exactly. And I actually wrote a blog about it last week of my own

personal experience because we've had a lot of experience with this. Do you feel like we're really close right now? We are. I, I, my leg is up on chairs right now because I played basketball today and I'm icing

it down. I know. You kind of have an old knee. I do as a matter of fact. I mean, one quick

tangent here. I stopped playing basketball about six weeks ago because I hurt my knee.

And I'd been icing it and staying off of it and doing everything that I feel like I'm supposed to be doing.

And my friend James Vuce, who's a doctor, gave me a very informal.

He's an orthopedic surgeon.

So he's highly qualified.
