Episode 288: I Want It! Plus, Feminist Author Kate Schatz

Episode 288

17th January 2019

Biz and Theresa are hearing a lot of the phrase: I want it! What do we say to our kids when they have a “case of the gimmes” or are constantly telling us about all the stuff they want? In theory, a simple, “No, you can’t have that,” should be enough…but when is that ever enough? It’s exhausting and annoying and giving in would be easy…sooooooo easy, but there is probably a life lesson our kids need to learn. Ugh! Can we hide in the bathroom while telling our children no? Plus Biz has a wish, Theresa is gearing up and we talk to Kate Schatz about her latest book Rad Girls Can.
