Who gets to live a life with dignity? Each day, families around the world make the difficult decision to leave their homes in search of safety, stability, and opportunity. For many migrant families, this search centers on access to strong, caring, and equitable educational systems that enable children to flourish. Now We Are Here: Family Migration, Children's Education, and Dreams for a Better Life (Stanford UP, 2025) follows the lives of 16 migrant families from Brazil, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras as they navigate the promises and challenges of the American education system. Drawing on immersive ethnographic research in homes and schools from 2018 to 2021, Gabrielle Oliveira offers an intimate portrait of these families' experiences. She weaves together stories of parental sacrifice, children's educational and migration journeys, and educators' responses to trauma—all shaped by the additional disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic. Oliveira highlights the perseverance of families confronting the overlapping crises of border detention, family separation, and a public health emergency. These experiences forced them to reimagine education and what it means to build a future in the U.S. By examining how migrant children engage in classrooms, how teachers understand their needs, and how hope evolves, this book offers vital insights into the intersections of schooling and immigration. It calls for more responsive educational practices and policies that affirm the dignity and potential of all migrant children. Learn more about your ad choices.

A Canadian combat veteran, Kelsi Sheren, joins Allie to expose how Canada's taxpayer-funded Medical Assistance in Dying program is targeting the most vulnerable: veterans, the disabled, the mentally ill, the poor, children, and even babies. Kelsi shares shocking firsthand stories of veterans being offered death instead of care, explains how MAID quietly expanded from terminal illness to non‑terminal conditions, and details the financial incentives driving doctors, institutions, and advocacy groups she calls a “death cult.” They also connect the dots to the United States — naming the states where assisted suicide is already legal, the role of groups like Compassion & Choices, and how churches and religious leaders are being pressured to accept euthanasia as “compassion."

FREE 5 Day Email Series to Turn Your Family Into a Team: https://familyteams.com/transform/ --- Is it better to get a PhD, or have a child? I found this wild interaction on the "child-free" subreddit, and had to comment on it from our pro-family point of view here at Family Teams. There's a huge lie in the undercurrent of our society that has convinced so many young women to become hyper-individualistic and focused on self at the expense of children and family, and it's so tragic. This is a good way to showcase that lie and remind everyone to start celebrating kids and family.

DeAnn Huinker & Melissa Hedges, Math Trajectories for Young Learners, Part 1 ROUNDING UP: SEASON 4 | EPISODE 14 Research confirms that early mathematics experiences play a more significant role than we once imagined. Studies suggest that specific number competencies in 4-year-olds are strong predictors of fifth grade mathematics success. So what does it look like to provide meaningful mathematical experiences for our youngest learners?  Today, we'll explore this question with DeAnn Huinker from UW-Milwaukee and Melissa Hedges from the Milwaukee Public Schools.  BIOGRAPHY Dr. DeAnn Huinker is a professor of mathematics education in the Department of Teaching and Learning and directs the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Center for Mathematics and Science Education Research. Dr. Huinker teaches courses in mathematics education at the early childhood, elementary, and middle school levels. Dr. Melissa Hedges is a curriculum specialist who supports K–5 and K–8 schools for the Milwaukee Public Schools.  RESOURCES Math Trajectories for Young Learners book by DeAnn Huinker and Melissa Hedges Learning Trajectories website, featuring the work of Doug Clements and Julie Sarama  School Readiness and Later Achievement journal article by Greg Duncan and colleagues  Early Math Trajectories: Low‐Income Children's Mathematics Knowledge From Ages 4 to 11 journal article by Bethany Rittle-Johnson and colleagues TRANSCRIPT Mike Wallus: Welcome back to the podcast, DeAnn and Melissa. You have both been guests previously. It is a pleasure to have both of you back with us again to discuss your new book, Math Trajectories for Young Learners. Melissa Hedges: Thank you for having us. We're both very excited to be here. DeAnn Huinker: Yes, I concur. Good to see you and be here again. Mike: So DeAnn, I think what I'd like to do is just start with an important grounding question. What's a trajectory? DeAnn: That's exactly where we need to start, right? So as I think about, "What are learning trajectories?," I always envision them as these road maps of children's mathematical development. And what makes them so compelling is that these learning pathways are highly predictable. We can see where children are in their learning, and then we can be more intentional in our teaching when we know where they are currently at. But if I kind of think about the development of learning trajectories, they really are based on weaving together insights from research and practice to give us this clear picture of the typical development of children's learning. And as we always think about these learning trajectories, there are three main components.  The first component is a mathematical goal. This is the big ideas of math that children are learning. For example, counting, subitizing, decomposing shapes. The second component of a learning trajectory are developmental progressions. This is really the heart of a trajectory. And the progression lays out a sequence of distinct levels of thinking and reasoning that grow in mathematical sophistication. And then the third component are activities and tasks that align to and support children's movement along that particular trajectory.  Now, it's really important that we point out the learning trajectories that we use in our work with teachers and children were developed by Doug Clements and Julie Sarama. So we have taken their trajectories and worked to make them more usable and applicable for teachers in our area. So what Doug and Julie did is they mapped out children's learning starting at birth—when children are just-borns, 1-year-olds, 2-year-olds—and they mapped it out up till about age 8. And right now, last count, they have about 20 learning trajectories. And they're in different topics like number, operations, geometry, and measurement. And we have to put in a plug. They have a wonderful website. It's learningtrajectories.org. We go there often to learn more about the trajectories and to get ideas for activities and tasks.  Now, we're talking about this new book we have on math trajectories for young children. And in the book, we actually take a deep dive into just four of the trajectories. We look at counting, subitizing, composing numbers, and adding and subtracting. So back to your original question: What are they? Learning trajectories are highly predictable roadmaps of children's math learning that we can use to inform and support developmentally appropriate instruction. Mike: That's an incredibly helpful starting point. And I want to ask a follow-up just to get your thinking on the record. I wonder if you have thoughts about how you imagine educators could or should make use of the trajectories. Melissa: This is Melissa. I'll pick up with that question. So I'll piggyback on DeAnn's response and thinking around this highly predictable nature of a trajectory as a way to ground my first comment and that we want to always look at a trajectory as a tool. So it's really meant as an important tool to help us understand where a child is and their thinking right now, and then what those next steps might be to push for some deeper mathematical understanding.  So the first thing that when we work with teachers that we like to keep in mind, and one of the things that actually draw teachers to the trajectories is that they're strength-based. So it's not what a child can't do. It's what a child can do right now based off of experience and opportunity that they've had. We also really caution against using our trajectories as a way to kind of pigeonhole kids or rank kids or label kids because what we know is that as children have more experience and opportunity, they grow and they learn and they advance along that trajectory. So really it's a tool that's incredibly powerful when in the hands of a teacher that understands how they work to be able to think about where are the children right now in their classroom and what can they do to advance them.  And I think the other point that I would emphasize other than what moves children along is experience and opportunity. Children are going to be all over on the trajectory—that's been our experience—and they're in the same classroom. And it's not that some can't and some won't and some can; it's just some need more experience and some need more opportunity. So it's really opened up the door many ways to view a more equitable approach to mathematics instruction.  The other thing that I would say is, and DeAnn and I had big conversations about this when we were first using the trajectories, is: Do we look at the ages? So the trajectories that Clements and Sarama develop do have age markers on them. And we were a bit back and forth on, "Do we use them?," "Do we not?," knowing that mathematical growth is meant to be viewed through a developmental lens. So we had them on and then we had them off and then we shared them with teachers and many of our projects and the teachers were like, "No, no, no, put the ages back on. Trust us. We'll use them well." (laughs) And so the ages are back onto the trajectories. And what we've noticed is that they really do help us understand how to take either intentional steps forward or intentional steps back, depending on what kids are showing us on that trajectory.  The other spot that I would maybe put a plugin for on where we could use a trajectory and what would be an appropriate use for it would be for our special educators out there and to really start to use them to support clear, measurable IEP goals grounded in a developmental progress. So that's kind of what our rule of thumb would be around a "should" and "shouldn't" with the trajectories. Mike: That's really helpful. You mentioned the notion of experiences and opportunities being critical. So I wanted to take perhaps a bit of a detour and talk about what research tells us about the impact of early mathematics experiences, what impact that has on children. I wonder if you could share some of the research that you cite in the book with our listeners. DeAnn: Sure. This is DeAnn, and in the book we cite research throughout all of the chapters and aligned to all of the different trajectories. But as we think about our work, there really are a few studies that we anchor in, always, as we think about children's learning. And the research evidence is really clear that early mathematics matters. The math that children learn in these early years in prekindergarten, kindergarten, first grade—I mean, we're talking 4-, 5-, 6-year-olds, 7-year-olds—that their math learning is really more important than a lot of people think it is. OK? So as we think about these kind of anchor studies that we look at, one of the major studies in this area is from Greg Duncan and his colleagues, and there was a study published in 2007. And what they did is they examined data from thousands of children drawing information from six large-scale studies, and they found that the math knowledge and abilities of 4- and 5-year-olds was the strongest predictor of later achievement. I mean, 4- and 5-year-olds, that's just as they're starting school. Mike: Wow. DeAnn: Yeah. One of the surprising findings was that they found early math knowledge and abilities was a stronger predictor than social emotional skills, stronger than family background, and stronger than family income. That it was the math knowledge that was predictive. Mike: That's incredible. DeAnn: Yes. A couple other surprising things from this study was that early math was a stronger predictor than early reading. Now, we know reading is really important, and we know reading gets a lot of emphasis in the early grades, but math is a stronger predictor than reading. And then one last thing I'll say about this study is that early math not only predicts later math achievement, it also predicts later reading achievement. So that is always a surprise as we share that information with teachers, that early math seems to matter as much and perhaps more than early reading abilities.  There's a couple other studies I'll share with you as well. So there's this body of research that talks about [how] early math is very predictive of later learning, but we're teachers, we're educators. We like to know, "Well, what math seems to be most important?" So there was a study in 2016 that looked at children's math learning in prekindergarten, 4-year-olds, and then looked at their learning again back in fifth grade. And what was unique about this study is they looked closely at what specific math topics seemed to matter the most. And what they found was that advanced number competencies were the strongest predictors of later achievement.  Now, what are advanced number competencies? So these are the three that really stood out as being important. One was being able to count a set of objects with cardinality. So in other words, counting things, not just being able to recite a count sequence, no. So not verbal rote counting, but actually counting things, putting those numbers to objects. Another thing that they found [that] was really important was being able to count forward from any number. So if I said, "Start at 7 and keep counting," "Start at 23 and keep counting," that that was predictive of later learning. And the reason for that is when kids can count forward from a number, it helps them understand the structure of the number system, something we're always working on. And then the third thing that they found as part of advanced number competencies was conceptual subitizing. Now, what that is, is being able to see a number such as 5 as composed of subgroups, like 5 being composed of 4 and 1 or 3 and 2. So subitizing is being able to see the parts of a number, and that was really important for these 4-year-olds to begin working on for later learning.  All right. One more, Mike, that I can share? Mike: Fire away! Yes. DeAnn: OK. So this last area of research that I want to share is actually really important as we think about the work of teachers in kindergarten and first grade in particular. So what these researchers did is they looked at children's learning at the beginning of kindergarten and then at the end of first grade. So, wow, think of the math kids learn from 5, 6 years old. And they found that these gains in what children can do was more predictive of later achievement than just what knowledge they had coming in. So learning gains, what children do and learn in math in kindergarten and first grade, is predictive of their mathematical success up through third grade. And then another study took it even further and said: Wait a minute, what they learn in kindergarten and first grade even predicts children's math achievement into high school. So there's just a growing body of research and evidence that early math is really important. The math learning of 4-year-olds, 5-year-olds, 6-year-olds, and 7-year-olds really builds this foundation that determines children's mathematical success many years later. Mike: This feels like a really great segue to a conversation about what it means to provide students opportunities for meaningful counting. That feels particularly significant when I heard all of the ideas that you were sharing in the research. I'm wondering if you could talk about the features of a meaningful counting experience. If we were to try to break that down and think about: What does that mean? What does that look like? What types of experiences count as meaningful when it comes to counting? Could you all talk about that a little bit? Melissa: Yeah, that's a great question, Mike. This is Melissa.  So I think what's interesting about the idea of meaningful counting is, the more DeAnn and I studied the trajectory and spent time working with teachers and students, we came to the conclusion that the counting trajectory in particular is anchored, or a cornerstone of that counting trajectory is really meaningful counting. That once a skill is acquired—and we'll talk a little bit more about meaningful counting—but once that skill is acquired, it just builds and develops as kids grow and have more experience with number and quantity.  So when we think about meaningful counting, the phrase that we like to use is that "Numbers represent quantity." And it's just not that kids are saying numbers out loud, it's that when they say "5," they know what 5 means. They know how many that is. They can connect it to a context that they can go grab five of something. They might know that 5 is bigger than 2 or that 10 is bigger than 5. So they start to really play with this idea of quantity. And specifically when we're talking about kids engaging in meaningful counting, there's really key skills and understandings that we're looking and watching for as children count. The first one DeAnn already alluded to, is this idea of cardinality. So when I count how many I have—1, 2, 3, 4, 5—if that's the size of my set, when someone asks me, "How many is it?," I can say "5" without needing to go back and count. So I can hold that quantity. Another one is stable count sequence. So we used to call it rote count sequence. And again, DeAnn referenced the idea that, really, when we're asking kids to count, we're asking more than just saying numbers. So we think about the stability and the confidence in their counting. One of the pieces that we've started to really watch very carefully and think carefully about with our children as we're watching many of them count is their ability to organize. So it's not the job of the teacher to organize the counter, to tell the child how to lay out the counters. It really is the work of the child because it brings to bear counting, saying the numbers, maintaining cardinality, as well as sets them up and sets us up to see where they at with that one-to-one correspondence. So can they organize a set of counters in such a way that allows them to say one number, one touch, one object? And then as they continue to coordinate those skills, are they able to say back and hold onto the idea of quantity?  So the other ideas that we like to consider, mostly because they're embedded in the trajectory and we've seen them become incredibly important as we work with children, is the idea of producing a set. So when I ask a child, "Can you give me five?," they give me five, or are they able to stop when they get to five? Do they keep counting? Do they pick up a handful of counters and dump it in my hand? So all of those things are what we're looking for as we're thinking about the idea of producing a set.  And then finally, even for our youngest ones, we really place a fair importance on the idea of representing a count. So can they demonstrate, can they show on paper what they did or how many they have? So we leave with a very rudimentary math sketch. So if they've counted a collection of five, how would they represent five on that paper? What that allows then the teacher to do is to continue to leverage where the trajectory goes as well as what they know about young children to bring in meaningful experiences tied to writing numbers, tied to having conversations about numbers. So the kids aren't doing worksheets, they're actually documenting something very important to them, which is this collection of whatever it is that they just counted in a way that makes sense to them. And so I think the other part that I like to talk about when we think about meaningful counting is this idea of hierarchical inclusion. It's that idea that children understand that numbers are nested one within each other and that each number in the count sequence is exactly 1 higher than what they said before. So, many times our reference with that is with our teachers are those little nesting dolls. So we think about 1 and then we wrap 2 around it and then we wrap 3 around it. So when we think about the number 3, we're thinking, "Well, it's actually the quantity of 2 and 1 more." And we see that as a really powerful understanding in particular as our children get older and we ask them not just what is 1 more or 1 less, but what is 10 more or 10 less, that they take that and they extend that in meaningful ways. So again, the idea of meaningful counting, regardless of where we are on the trajectory, it's the idea that numbers represent quantities. And the neat thing about the trajectory—the counting trajectory in particular—is that they give us really beautiful markers as to when to watch for these. So we tend to talk about the trajectories as levels. So we'll say at level 6 on our counting trajectory is where we see cardinality first start to kind of show up, where we're starting to look for it. And then we watch that idea of cardinality grow as children get older, as they have more experience and opportunity, and as they work with larger numbers. Mike: That's incredibly helpful.  So I think one of the things that really jumped out, and I want to mark this and give you all an opportunity to be a little bit more explicit than you already were—this importance of linking numbers and quantities. And I wonder if you could say a bit more about what you mean, just to make sure that our listeners have a full understanding of why that is so significant. DeAnn: All right, this is DeAnn. I'll jump in and get started, and Melissa can add on.  As we first started to study the learning trajectory, the one thing we noticed was the importance of connecting things to quantity. Even some of the original levels didn't necessarily say "quantity," but we anchor our work to developing meaning for our work. And we always think about, even when we're skip-counting, it should be done with objects that we should be able to see skip-counting as quantities, not just as words that I'm reciting. So across the trajectory, we put this huge emphasis on always connecting them to items, to things, or to actions and to movements so that it's not just a word, but that word has some meaning and significance for the child. Mike: I think that takes me to the other bit of language, Melissa, that you said that I want to come back to. You said at one point when you were describing meaningful counting experiences, you said, "One number, one touch, one object." And I wonder if you could unpack that, particularly "one touch," for young children and why that feels significant. Melissa: That's a great question. And I'll come at this through a lens of watching many, many children count and working with lots and lots of teachers. When children are counting a set, many times they'll look and they'll go, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9," and then however many are in the collection, they'll just say, "9" by just looking. And one of the things that we've noticed is that sometimes we need to explicitly give permission to children to do what they need to do with that collection to find out how many. Sometimes they're afraid to touch the items. Sometimes they don't know that they can. And we don't come right out and say, "Go ahead and touch them." But we just say, "Gosh, is there another way that you could find out how many?" And what we notice are some amazing and interesting ways kids organize their collections. So sometimes to be able to get to that "one touch, one, number one object," they'll lay them out in a row. Sometimes they'll lay them out in a circle and they'll mark the one that they started with. Sometimes, with our little guys in particular, we like to give them collections where they have to sit things up, so like, the little counting bears. So if the bears are lying down, the kids will be very intentional in, "I set it up and I count it. I set it up and I count it. " And they all, many times, have to be facing the same direction as well. So the kids are very particular about, "How does this fit into the counting experience?" And I would say that's one thing that's been really significant for us in understanding that it really is the work of the child to do that "one touch, one object, one count" in a way that matters to them. And that a teacher can very easily lay it out and say, "Find out how many. Remember to touch one and tell me the number." Then it's not coming from the child. Then we don't know what they know. So that's been a really, really interesting aspect for us to watch in kids is, "How are they choosing to go into and enter into counting that?" And we look at that as problem solving from our youngest, from our 3-year-olds, all the way up, is: "What are you going to do with that pile of stuff in front of you?" And that's an authentic problem for them, and it's meaningful. Mike: I think what jumps out about that from me is the structure of what you just described is actually an experience and it's an opportunity to make sense of counting versus what perhaps has typically happened, which is a procedure for counting that we're asking kids to replicate and show us again. And what strikes me is you're advocating for a sensemaking opportunity because that's the work of the child. As opposed to, "Let me show you how to do it; you do it again and show it back to me," but what might be missing is meaning or connection to something that's real and that sets up what we think might be a house of cards or at the very least it has significant implications as you described in the research. Melissa: One of the things, Mike, that I would add on that actually I just thought about is, when you were talking about the importance of us letting the children figure out how they want to approach that task of organizing their count, is: It's coming from the child. And Clements and Sarama talk about, the beautiful work about the trajectory is that we see that the mathematics comes from the child and we can nurture that along in developmentally appropriate ways.  The other idea that popped into my mind is: It's kind of a parallel to when our children get older and we want to teach them a way to add and a way to subtract. And I'm going to show you how to do it and you follow my procedure. I'm going to show it; you follow my procedure. We know that that's not best practice either. And so we're really looking at: How do we grab onto that idea of number sense and move forward with it in a way that's meaningful with children from as young as 1 and 2 all the way up? Mike: I hope you've enjoyed the first half of our conversation with DeAnn and Melissa as much as I have. We'll release the second half of our conversation on April 9th.

If your child flips from calm to furious in seconds, you may wonder why your child's mood swings aren't just attitude and when to worry. In this episode, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, founder of Regulation First Parenting™ and expert in childhood emotional dysregulation, explains what's really driving the behavior—and how to help.If your child goes from calm to furious in seconds, you've probably heard, “It's just hormones” or “It's attitude.” But what if why your child's mood swings aren't just attitude and when to worry is the real question?Let's unpack what's really driving your child's behavior, when mood shifts may point to mental health issues, and how to calm the brain first.Why do my child's mood swings feel so extreme?Mood swings don't automatically mean bad attitude. Often, they reflect nervous system overload — and sometimes emerging mental health conditions, including depressive symptoms.When stress builds, cortisol rises, the amygdala fires fast, and the thinking brain goes offline. That's when you hear, “I hate you!” or “You're ruining my life!”In younger children, regulation skills are still developing. But when reactions are intense, frequent, and prolonged, we consider whether something more is happening — such as:Anxiety disordersAttention deficit hyperactivity disorderAutism spectrum disorderOppositional defiant disorderDisruptive mood dysregulation disorderEarly signs of a mood disorder, including major depressive disorder or even bipolar disorderWhat's really happening:The emotional brain is overactivatedThe logical brain can't regulate quicklyStress chemistry drives intense outburstsPhysical symptoms may appear (headaches, stomachaches, fatigue)Sleep patterns may shift, including difficulty falling asleepBehavior is communication. And when reactions seem like an elephant-sized response to an ant-sized problem, it's usually biology—not defiance.Real-Life Example: Your child loses it over the wrong snack. It's not about crackers. It's about a stress cup that's already overflowing from school pressure, social stress, poor sleep, and sensory overload.Are they doing this for attention—or do they need help?When kids are dysregulated, they're seeking safety, not attention.Big reactions are the nervous system saying: “I can't regulate alone.”Instead of harsher consequences, try:Containment before correctionLowering stimulation during trigger windowsCo-regulation (your calm spreads)

Life After Being a Cop: Recovering from Trauma. After 30 years of law enforcement, he thought he had retired unscathed. A veteran of the Suffolk County Police Department and the Atlanta Police Department, he spent decades responding to emergencies, witnessing trauma, and putting his life on the line. Yet even after leaving the force, the weight of his experiences lingered. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Mike Morgan is our guest. “I thought I was done with all the trauma,” Mike says. “I thought I got out unscathed. But it all started catching up with me after retirement, especially that call about the 2-year-old child who drowned.” The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. A Life-Altering Call The call that shook Mike the most involved a young child who had drowned. He was able to save the child, but the emotional impact stayed with him. As he explains, “Saving that child was one of the most rewarding things I've done, but it also brought back all the other moments in my career that I hadn't fully processed.” Life After Being a Cop: Recovering from Trauma. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Drowning remains a leading risk for children under 5. According to recent studies: 87% of drowning fatalities occur in home pools or hot tubs, often when children sneak outside unattended. Highest risk group: Children aged 1–4, with backyard pools as the primary location for fatal drownings. Silent danger: Drowning is fast and silent, rarely involving splashing or screaming. Mike emphasizes, “Swimming pools may look safe, but kids can slip away in seconds. Even the most attentive parent can't always see it happen.” The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) studied drownings among children age 4 and under in Arizona, California, and Florida, where pools are common. It found nearly 70% of children were not expected to be in the water, and 46% were last seen inside the house. Essential safety measures include four-sided fencing, pool alarms, locked doors, and constant adult supervision. Life After Being a Cop: Recovering from Trauma. Recognizing PTSD Even after retirement, Mike realized he was struggling with symptoms of PTSD. “I was listening to a podcast one day and thought, ‘This is me,'” he says. “I was having everything the experts describe, but I hadn't acknowledged it yet.” Police officers face a particularly high risk of PTSD due to frequent exposure to traumatic events. Studies estimate prevalence rates up to 20%, roughly double that of the general population. Symptoms often stem from cumulative stress, fatal accidents, officer-involved shootings, and repeated exposure to violence, leading to flashbacks, insomnia, and even suicidal thoughts. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. As Mike explains, “It's not always one single traumatic event. It's the buildup over time, the constant stress, the repeated exposure to tragedy. That's what hits you when you retire and finally have time to think.” Life After Being a Cop: Recovering from Trauma. Key facts from research: Police Officers experience an average of 3.5 traumatic incidents every six months. One in seven officers worldwide suffers from PTSD or depression, with 15–18% meeting diagnostic criteria. Stressors include violent incidents, exposure to death, and organizational pressures. Symptoms and Behavioral Impacts PTSD can affect every aspect of life: Physical: Fatigue, insomnia, chest pain, nausea Emotional & Behavioral: Anxiety, withdrawal, paranoia, rage, increased substance use Job Impact: Poor performance, missed work, strained family relationships “PTSD isn't just a badge issue,” Mike says. “It follows you home. It affects your health, your family, and your ability to enjoy life after the force.” Life After Being a Cop: Recovering from Trauma. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Recovery and Support Mike credits therapy, medicine, peer support, and community for helping him recover. Evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Prolonged Exposure Therapy are highly effective. Departments that promote open discussions and mental health support can reduce the stigma and help officers seek treatment. Now living in Florida He shares his journey on The Resilient Warrior podcast and the book he wrote titled The Resilient Warrior. “The podcast is my way of giving back and showing other officers and anyone struggling with trauma, that recovery is possible,” he says.

Martin Mawyer is president of Christian Action Network. Martin began his career as a journalist for the Religion Today news syndicate and as the Washington news correspondent for Moody Monthly magazine. This resulted in his position as the editor-in-chief of Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority Report. In 1990 he founded the Christian Action Network, a non-profit organization created to protect America's religious and moral heritage through educational and political activism efforts. He's the author of four books and has directed three documentary films. This program is a warning to parents and grandparents. There's a great luring of children through a massive online social gaming platform called Roblox, that's designed for children between the ages of eight and twelve. What children will see is a colorful and endless digital universe of games and experiences. However, there's the dark side where children can find themselves walking right into the trap of predators who can hide behind cartoon avatars where they quietly search for vulnerable youth. What's so concerning about this platform? There's digital strip clubs. You can visit Epstein Island. There's Lego-like avatars that can be engaged in digital sex parties, the sending of sexually explicit messages and much more. Martin also describes the warning signs that may indicate a child is being caught up by this platform, so review this broadcast and then find out what your kids know about Roblox!

A parent walks into the exam room, but they're not alone. They've brought TikTok, Instagram, a comment section, a conspiracy thread and a viral video with 12 million views. Welcome to modern pediatrics. In this live recording, we're diving into the digital ecosystem that's shaping how families think, worry and decide. Social media isn't just background noise anymore — it's co-parenting with us. Sometimes it's loud. Sometimes it's supportive, and other times, it's just plain reckless. We are exploring how misinformation spreads faster than measles, why fear goes viral and how pediatricians can reclaim their role as trusted guides in a scroll-first world. This isn't about fighting the internet. It's about learning how to practice medicine inside it. Mona Amin, DO, traveled from Florida to be our guest for this live event. She is a board-certified pediatrician, mom of two and founder of the incredible podcast The PedsDocTalk. That podcast is part of her globally recognized platform reaching over 2 million people with evidence-based guidance, actionable tips and relatable insights on child health, development and parenting.  Some highlights from this episode include: The current landscape of parenting with social media How social media has influenced how parents understand, and misunderstand, health information  Biggest mistakes pediatricians make when responding to parents who bring in a TikTok video or influencer advice to their appointment  How pediatricians can better connect with families and validate their concerns, without support misinformation  The future of pediatric communication in a digital-first world For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

What happens in the moment a child finally says something is wrong? For many children experiencing abuse, it takes years to speak up - if they ever do. And when they finally tell someone, the response they receive can shape the rest of their healing. In this powerful conversation, Dr Justin Coulson speaks with body-safety educator and survivor John Cardamone about what children actually need to feel safe enough to disclose abuse - and the critical mistakes adults often make in the first moments after a child tells them. John shares his own experience of abuse as a child, the two years it took him to speak up, and the simple but life-changing framework every parent should know if a child ever confides in them. This is a difficult topic - but one every parent needs to understand. KEY POINTS Most children who experience sexual abuse know the person involved. Many children try to disclose through behaviour before words. Kids are far more likely to speak up when they feel safe, connected, and heard in everyday moments. The way parents respond to small problems trains children whether it’s safe to share bigger ones. Traditional “stranger danger” messaging can miss the reality that abuse is usually committed by someone known to the child. Body safety education should be ongoing, simple, and part of everyday conversation. A parent’s first response to a disclosure can either start the healing process or deepen the trauma. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “The way you respond to a disclosure can either start the healing process… or prolong the trauma.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Website: johncardamone.com.au ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Create safety in everyday moments. How you respond to spilled milk, mistakes, or bad behaviour teaches children whether it’s safe to talk to you. Talk about body safety regularly. Make it an ongoing conversation rather than a single serious talk. Focus on “strange behaviours,” not just strangers. Most abuse happens with someone the child knows. If a child discloses something difficult, stay calm. Children mirror the emotional reactions of adults. Follow the “BeCalmer” approach. Be calm Believe them Acknowledge what they said Validate their feelings See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
