This week's podcast features a discussion on the virtue of Independence and how parents can encourage independence of thought and action in children. Here's the lineup:

Situation of the Week (Kelly): Handling conflict with a child/choosing battles

Topic: Independence (begins 5:30)

Q&A: What are some ways to deal with kids interrupting? (begins 19:06)

As always, please leave us some feedback in the comments (here or at our main blog, Cultivating the Virtues), or email us at [email protected].

I'm happy that we have finally streamlined our production process (all thanks to Brendan!) and it's taking much less time for us to edit the raw podcast files. And starting with our next recording session (beginning with Podcast #9, as the first 8 have already been recorded), our process will become easier and quicker because we'll have access to a Mac laptop. Hoo. Ray.

Many of our listeners have requested that we produce the podcast in iTunes format, and that is definitely on our list of things to do! We'll make an announcement as soon as we get to that. In the meantime, thanks for listening and thanks for your patience! :o)
