Summary
Cathy and Todd introduce you to their new program titled Be U: Helping 5th graders become emotionally intelligent leaders. Kids are always being told to focus on their IQ, but what about their Emotional Intelligence? Do they know their value and importance? Do they know how to work with others? Do they know how to manage their emotions? This 6 session program (offered in Elmhurst, IL) targets 5th graders to help them feel grounded in who they are before they head off to middle school. If you live in the are and you are interested in learning more about your child’s emotional intelligence, email comments@zenparentingradio.com.
Also, do you ever find yourself saying, “They say this is the best one.” or, “They say you shouldn’t do that.” Who is “they” anyway? Is it one article, a team of experts, or an opinionated neighbor? Do we just do what others tell us to do or do we use common sense and tap into what feels right? Cathy and Todd discuss the “they” phenomenon, and why people give their power away and/or forget to trust themselves.
Plus they discuss Bruce Lipton’s Biology of Belief, why Chicago fans are the greatest, and why Cathy gets frustrated when Todd says he is “in charge” of the girls, but then heads outside to mow the lawn.

| 0:20.6 | It's a cold, blustery day in Chicago, Illinois. |
| 0:23.6 | Yeah, I was wearing flip-flops and like a tank yesterday, |
| 0:26.8 | and now I'm wearing a sweatshirt and very warm. |
| 0:29.8 | That's Chicago. |
| 0:30.9 | I know. |
| 0:31.4 | I've lived here my whole life, so it's not as much a complaint as it is an observation. |
| 0:36.1 | You don't like the weather, wait 30 minutes. |
| 0:37.9 | That's right. Do you know that annoys me when people say that? I don't even really get that. |
| 0:41.9 | It means it's going to change. But that's not true in Chicago. I feel like it's pretty, if you got a |
| 0:46.4 | cold day, it just sticks around. Maybe it's, um, if you don't like the weather, wait till tomorrow. Maybe that's the phrase. Maybe I screwed up the phrase. Okay, yeah. |
| 0:54.4 | Because that seems more like a Hawaii thing where it's like hot and then it's like cold and |
| 0:58.6 | it's hot. |
| 0:59.0 | Isn't it always 80 and sunny in Hawaii though? |
| 1:00.5 | Yeah, but you know what you're right? |
| 1:01.6 | It rains though. |
| 1:02.8 | It rains like for an hour in the afternoon and then it gets sunny. |
