  • Optimistic and encouraging

    I love listening to this podcast. I always walk away, feeling optimistic and like I’ve gotten a little peptalk from a friend. Dr. Kathy covers some hard topics but in such a loving and encouraging way. I feel like I talk to my kids more intentionally because of her guidance.

    I had the pleasure of listening to Dr. Kathy speak at the MACHE conference this year and she has changed my entire outlook on parenting. Grateful God planted me in the same room with her.

    Although my kids are raised, we are now navigating life as grandparents to 10 with two of them being adopted at age of seven and four from the foster care system. Dr. Kathy offers excellent insight into all things related to raising kids in today’s crazy culture.As a former high school teacher, I really appreciate all the knowledge she brings in an easy to understand way.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Going Device Free Builds Real Resilience in Kids
Q: What is it about taking tech away from our kids that builds resilient kids?
Removing constant access to devices challenges kids to engage more deeply with people, tasks, and real-world problems, which strengthens persistence, problem-solving, and the willingness to try again after failure.
Teach for Competence, Not Just Completion: When Learning Finally Leaves the Workbook
Q: Should our driving instruction move actually out of the classroom and into a car, and what are your thoughts on balancing book learning with real-world practice?
Yes, move toward real-world practice in cars, but keep foundational book knowledge; the real-world application makes the learning relevant and motivates kids to apply truth in everyday situations.
Teach for Competence, Not Just Completion: When Learning Finally Leaves the Workbook
Q: So I want to jump into this and ask you, when you were learned how to drive, who taught you to drive, and how did they do that?
They taught through a mix of school-based Driver's Ed with hands-on practice in parking lots, plus real-world guidance from a parent; the combination helped connect book knowledge to actual driving skills.
When AI Helps Kids Think, and When It Thinks for Them: Don't Outsource the Struggle That Builds Competence
Q: So Dr. Kathy, today on the Celebrate Kids Podcast, is there in school AI usage and how it should be integrated into real-life math and career readiness?
AI can illuminate concepts like cost-benefit analyses and real-world calculations, but it should augment rather than replace the student's own thinking, helping them engage with math in a way that strengthens their voice and reasoning.
From Information to Wisdom: What Kids Need From Education
Q: What should we be expecting from school, and is there some kind of baseline test that we should say, no, I'm happy with my school because they're doing the thing that school should do?
Dr. Kathy discusses a baseline of essential skills and the deeper aim of education beyond information—cultivating wisdom, discernment, and the ability to apply truth in real life.
