Cathy Cassani Adams Wants You To Know.....

Hi Carol and Stacy I'm looking forward to the all star chat!

Here are some things I am up to:

I am thoroughly enjoying my writing for Chicago Parent Magazine and blog column (The Self-Aware Parent).  I am offering “Conscious Parents discussion groups” in people’s homes….just gather your mom friends, share some food, have some wine, and let’s talk parenting!  It gives moms the opportunity to dig a little deeper into themselves and their parenting.  

Todd and I also offer couples discussion groups…it’s always nice to have the male perspective, too!  

I teach in the Sociology Department at Dominican University (in the fall I teach Sociology of the Family, in the spring I teach Intro to Social Work).  I teach the students about the importance of self care (for them, and for their future clients), emotions, and connection to self – my hope is that the students will choose a profession to offer support and encouragement to those in need and simultaneously take care of themselves so they don’t burn out. I also love doing Zen Parenting Radio with my husband -  it brings us great joy and

Intentional Conscious Parenting is a way of being with our children.

Intentional conscious parenting is a way of being with our children.  It is a choice.  I choose this path of parenting because it supports my instinctive desire to live through my awareness.  It asks me to BE a watcher of my children AND of myself in relationship to them.  It asks me to listen.  It asks me to wait.  Watch my reactions.  And choose to interact with my kids with compassion for who they are and have always been.  It asks me to listen and watch some more.  It helps me see who I am.  It allows me to accept myself and my children, at each moment, with trust that what is before me is as it ought to be…so we both can learn how to be even more compassionate companions.  It encourages me to expand beyond and transform my personal beliefs.  Quite simply, it asks me to respond to my instinctive awareness and my ability to love unconditionally. ~ Alexandra Folz

New book ~ Hikes With Tykes By Rob Bignell

New book provides guide to day hiking with kids

Day hiking with kids isn’t quite as simple as taking them onto a trail and walking.

Many parents have no idea where there even is a trail. They wonder how to keep their kids properly dressed for the wilds and how they’ll ever carry their infant all those miles. They struggle to figure out how much water and food to bring. They ponder what to do when their children get bored on the trail or start to misbehave. They know there must be a better way to cross rough terrain than the balancing act they’re attempting. They want to understand how to treat injuries from blisters to broken bones, of what to do if they’re lost or even forced to stay the night in the woods.

A new guidebook – Rob Bignell’s “Hikes with Tykes: A Practical Guide to Day Hiking with Kids” – offers the answers to these and many other questions.

In this comprehensive survey of an increasingly popular family activity, Bignell offers readers a no-nonsense, informative guide to taking children on day hikes. An Outdoor Industry Association report from 2010 says that 40 million Americans hike. Many of those hikers bring their children with them.

During these difficult economic times, a number of Americans have turned back to this low-cost, fun activity – and are sticking with it.

“Hiking is beneficial in so many ways, from providing exercise to enjoying the natural beauty of the outdoors,” Bignell said. “It’s not surprising that there are so many hikers, or that children love to go on walks.”

Most people can find the gear they need for a day hike simply by gathering together a few odds and ends from around their home. And with more than 200,000 miles of trails in the United States – at county, state and national parks as well as other nature areas – no one need travel far to enjoy the great outdoors.

Loaded with personal anecdotes and tips, “Hikes with Tykes” provides a step-by-step guide to everything an adult needs to know about hiking with children, including how to:
 Find kid-appropriate trails
 Keep kids properly dressed for the wilds
 Figure out how much water and food to bring
 Cross rough terrain
 Prevent children from getting bored on the trail
 Treat injuries from blisters to broken bones
 Handle getting lost or being forced to stay the night in the woods
