Wow, Bill is right, you have a great way of asking questions that incorporate feelings. I met Bill via email back in February 2019 when I had to resign from my teaching job because a special ed student hit me. I came across his TedxTalk and he gave me permission to spin it towards parents in my blog (Comfort Can Ruin Your Child’s Growth). Since I was finishing up my parenting book, Parenting Scholar Athletes, it became a chapter. Hopefully when I self-publish it soon, we can talk about it. I feel parents today during this pandemic need my 4 keys in an angelic manner to help raise their children. You have a great podcast & wonderful demeanor. Congratulations.
Thanks so much for your kind words! I really enjoyed talking with Bill. It seems like you found his TedX video at the perfect time. All the best with your upcoming book!!!
