Summary
Cathy and Todd discuss why we “force” our children to try new things, and why this is usually about our fear rather than theirs. They also talk about the importance of strong moral character (based on this article from the Tribune), why we need to allow our children to process through their emotions, and why communal movie time can keep a family connected. They explain what it means to play “Psych”, and share some wisdom from Louis CK.
