One of the motivations for creating the Kids Cook Real Food eCourse was that I was just over halfway to "launch" with my oldest child. Nine years old is half of the intensive part of parenting, and Paul had just turned 10. He demonstrated how to make homemade guacamole to his 4th grade class, and I realized that guac was the only thing he truly knew how to make! One cannot live on guac alone...so I knew I needed to teach him more before he left my home! I love that parenting expert and author Amy Carney also uses the word "launch" to describe the process of sending off a child into the world, ready to serve and grow and live on purpose. She too had a crisis of parenting when her oldest kids were about 10, and she reacted even more strongly that I did - that and more in today's interview! What Amy made me desire: The sort of MARGIN she found in her life when she taught her kids certain things. How I'll rethink something today: That being frustrated about a task is an opportunity for a teaching moment.A goal I need to keep in mind: Play is as important as "being busy."In the first two days after the interview, I quoted a certain portion twice, and it's what college professors and deans all agreed that young adults need more of. This is a heartfelt, fun, fascinating, and inspiring interview, and I hope you enjoy Amy as much as I did!
