The Race To Nowhere- What Do Our Children REALLY Need?


Listen Later

Have you really thought about what you want for your children, or are you letting society tell you what’s important?

Cathy and Todd encourage listeners to focus on children’s emotional intelligence as well as their book skills, and they reference the movie Race to Nowhere.  Creativity, play, and downtime are just as important as study time.

They also suggest why reading to your child may not always be the best idea.  And speaking of, Todd decides to make fun of Cathy for not playing board games….. “play” means something different to everyone, so is this justified?  Listen and find out!

BTW, Mother’s Day is coming up. Make it easy on yourself and buy an autographed copy of Cathy’s book- The Self Aware Parent- 19 Lessons For Growing With Your Children We’ll even gift wrap it for you.  Click on the link to purchase and check Mother’s Day off your list.
