do do do do do do do we go my name's todd this is kathy welcome back to another episode of zen

parenting radio this is podcast number six hundred and seven we've done six hundred and seven of

these sweetie yeah who would have thunk it why listen to zen parenting radio because you'll feel

outstanding and i always remember our motto which is that the best predictor of a child's well-being is a parent's self-understanding.

On today's show, we're going to discuss a picture that Kathy just sent to me.

No, it's not a picture.

Picture.

It's sweetie.

Look at it.

It's a picture.

I know. It's just so funny because right when I sent it to you, I said, don't describe it the way I sent it. I said, it's the concept we're going to talk about.

Kathy texted me a concept by Adam Grant about feedback or something. Yeah, it's about when your

kids give you feedback. Oh. Yeah. Our kids give us feedback all the time regardless of what they're doing.

Well, and I think a lot of kids do, and sometimes feedback is not, that's what I want to talk about.

I want to talk about communicating feedback because we could sit here and, you know, you could be snarky about like, oh, you know, kids, my kids give me feedback.

But how do you give feedback to your kids? And I'm not

talking about you, Todd. I'm talking about the people who are listening. Like, I think sometimes

our expectation of our kids and other people is different than what we do. Do you see what I mean?

And I think sometimes what we believe would happen regarding feedback is not what really

happens, meaning that we have an expectation of, oh, if my kid is struggling this, with this,

they would let me know. Or if I ask this question, they'll answer honestly. And that's not always

the case. No. So I just want to kind of talk about that.
