What is Zen Parenting and why should I listen?

As a Zen Parent you learn to trust your instincts, focus on what is working, and find a healthy life balance. You make it a priority to take care of yourself and figure out what you want from life.

Instead of feeling overwhelmed and stressed, you feel awake and aware. Instead of worrying about what can go wrong, you notice what is working.  Instead of losing yourself, you practice self discovery.

And as you become more aware and conscious, your relationships begin to transform. Taking care of YOU becomes a gift for the entire family.

This is what Cathy Cassani Adams writes about in her book The Self-Aware Parent: 19 Lessons for Growing with Your Children and as a writer/blogger for Chicago Parent Magazine.

Cathy has been featured in Parents Magazine, Newsweek Magazine, Chicago Tribune, Ebony Magazine, Today’s Chicago Woman, and West Suburban Magazine.  She was a recurring guest on WGN Radio Chicago and she was the subject of a Fox News Special Report on the parent coaching profession. For the last 12 years she has been teaching, coaching, and supporting countless parents in their journey toward conscious parenting.

Together Cathy and Todd have found great success leading Zen Parenting classes where they share the benefits of self awareness and effective communication with the moms and dads of Chicagoland. And as the parents of three little girls, they practice what they preach on a daily basis.

But while Cathy tends to parent from a more emotional and spiritual perspective, Todd tends to be more logical and practical. As partners they are learning to combine their strengths to find a balanced and respectful way to parent as a team.

So join Cathy and Todd as they share stories and insight and offer simple tools that lead to Zen Parenting……your life as a conscious parent awaits!
