Ep #85: Ethan Sawyer returns with an illuminating exercise that can help make our parenting job a little easier and way more harmonious. After a huge response from our “Core Values, College Essays, and Burning Man Babies” episode last fall, the nationally recognized college essay expert shares with our listeners a simple and empowering method for parents to break down problems (big and small) and find solutions… all by themselves. (So much cheaper than therapy! And as always, Ellie is the guinea pig). The parenting friends also laugh about baby sign language, competitive potty training, and the importance of Dumbo’s feather.
