  • Inspiring and encouraging

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for several years now. I often choose to listen to 1000 hours outside over other podcasts. Every time I listen to Ginny and her guests I end up feeling inspired or encouraged and more often both. Ginny’s message is very timely in this day and age. As I strive to be the best mother I can for my kids, it helps to know there are like minded people out there with the same goals in a world that can make you feel isolated and alone for choosing the narrow path.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

1KHO 681: It's Hard to Be Anxious and Grateful | Max Lucado, Calm Thoughts for Kids
Q: Can you talk to families about the importance of having downtime?
Downtime is essential for children, allowing them to rest, be creative, and have no obligations, which fosters healthy development.
1KHO 681: It's Hard to Be Anxious and Grateful | Max Lucado, Calm Thoughts for Kids
Q: If you could give a message to the kid who is feeling that weight, what would you say to them?
I would advise young people to appreciate those who love them and help to filter negative ideas coming from social media, which can exacerbate feelings of anxiety.
1KHO 680: ADHD Hope | MiKe McLeod, The Executive Function Playbook in Action
Q: Can you talk about how that approach is not the best approach, especially for kids who have ADHD?
Lecturing backfires and can cause more dysregulation in children with ADHD. Instead, focusing on building self-awareness and using less language is more effective.
1KHO 678: The World is Hungry for Authentic Experiences | Isaac French, Live Oak Lake
Q: Can you talk about the struggles that Gen Z is having and how you are able to launch into the adult world successfully at such a young age?
Isaac attributes his success to the lifestyle and intentional upbringing his parents provided, which focused on character development over technology usage.
1KHO 679: Awkwardness is Endearing | Holley Gerth, The Powerful Purpose of Introverts
Q: Can you share any tips for parents of introverted children?
Parents should recognize that introverted kids may need time to recharge after social interactions and that their social preferences are normal and valid.
