This is Kathy Adams. Welcome back, Zen Parenting Radio. We're going to be talking about perceiving chaos, right?

0:14.2

How to perceive chaos differently. That's what I meant. That's exactly what I meant.

0:18.7

We've gone through this title three times right before we started.

0:21.4

In the last two minutes. A lot of planning going on with this one.

0:24.7

1:33.5

share a story of how we have to balance that with allowing them to letting them know that their

opinion is valuable but facts are a different thing. So distinguishing the difference.

1:44.4
