  • Love this!

    I binge these podcasts because they make me feel like I’m not the only mom dealing with this. They cover so many good topics but also explain the reason behind it. There is so much truth in these episodes and I absolutely love listening and putting into practice things that I’m learning. Raising 2 boys is better with this resource!!

How homeopathy can help families with Marcus Fernandez
Q: What exactly is homeopathy and when is it appropriate to consider it for a child or family member?

How storytelling builds resilience in kids with Candace Lee and Eric Newman
Q: What did persistence look like for you in bringing this project to life?
Persistence meant embracing setbacks, pivoting from hoped-for adaptations to publishing a book series, and continuing to build partnerships and opportunities in film, TV, and beyond.
How storytelling builds resilience in kids with Candace Lee and Eric Newman
Q: How did you decide where to set the story and what themes to emphasize for resilience?

How storytelling builds resilience in kids with Candace Lee and Eric Newman
Q: So tell me, what was your reaction to Candace's idea about these characters and the Banana Bowling Bonanza during your early writing days?

Why we need to rethink how we teach grammar with Patty McGee
Q: How does collaborative grammar instruction work in practice?
She describes long-term partnerships or trios working through grammar study aloud, using manipulatives, and then sharing sentences to compare approaches, with emphasis on feedback, reflection, and inclusive participation.
