• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Time poor parent who just once answers now every now.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: On the podcast, we get to spend some time with
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: a very special guest, somebody who is renowned, respected and
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: has so much wisdom to share with us. This stops
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: justin Colson. By the way, I'm the founder of Happy
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Families dot com dot you and the host of the
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Happy Families Podcast and the parenting expert on Parental Guidance
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Channel nind's TV show All about Parenting. We start filming
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: season two real soon. Can't wait to tell you more
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: about that. A little while ago, in episode three hundred
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: and twenty four of the Happy Families Podcast, I had
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a chat with one of Australia's best known parenting authors,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: speakers and thinkers. You might have heard of him. You
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: probably have. His name is Steve Bidolf. Steve Bidolf and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I had a great chat about one of his most
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: recent gifts to the world, a brand new book called
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Fully Human. And as we chatted, I asked Steve, what's
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the single overarching thing that matters most for parents?
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, if I could write it on the sky, you know,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: get one of those plans to ride it on the sky.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: It would be that hurry is the enemy of love,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: and it's become my motto. It's on the top of
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: my website. It's because when we hurry, of course we
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: love our children and we love our partners. But if
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: we're rushing, we never quite connect. And it's only by
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: slowing down that we really are with each other. It
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: takes time to find your kids when they come home
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: from school, and husband and wife to find each other
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: get attuned again. And so you know, hurrying is the
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: madness of the modern world and it destroys love. And
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: so please, if you possibly can slow it down? Does
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: that make sense? Kylie?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: And justin Steve Bitoff episode three hundred and twenty four
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: is where you can go to hear the entire conversation.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: What a great tip, what a great idea, What an
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: important reminder for us as parents. Just when you think
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you've got this parenting gig nailed, your child hits some
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: new milestone that leaves you figuratively banging your head against
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the wall. You wonder, where's the instruction manual? Your growth guide?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Is that instruction manual a webinar outlining basic milestones so
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: you know where your child's at, where they're going and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: what you can expect. Get insights, reassurance and support from
• 2:26
