How can you honor who your child is while still equipping them with the tools they need to thrive in our fast-paced world?   That's exactly what I'm talking about with my guest, McCourtney Professor of Child Studies and Professor of Psychology at Penn State, Dr. Koraly Pérez-Edgar.   In this episode, we dive into:   - What temperament actually is from a psychological standpoint (it's probably not what you think it is!) and the factors professionals use to measure and map it out.   - What impact temperament has on the way sensitive, shy, or explosive children regulate their emotions and respond to their environment.   - How parents can create opportunities for their child to become self-actualized and why focusing on self-actualization is the precursor to helping them achieve and thrive.   - Inhibited versus exuberant - how finding the right niche for a child's unique temperament can define their success, even if it doesn't align with traditional expectations.   - How to find that middle ground between pushing your child when they need a bit of encouragement and nurturing them when they need more support and scaffolding.   Tune in for valuable insights that will help you navigate the complexities of parenting with more confidence and compassion!     LEARN MORE ABOUT DR.

Have you ever wondered about what Virtual Montessori school is like? Not Montessori schools that temporarily held virtual classes during the pandemic, but an academic program designed to be a fully remote Montessori school? In June of 2022, I graduated from Linköping University in Sweden with a Master's Degree in Child Studies. For my final thesis, I conducted a qualitative study about teachers' experiences, and their impressions of their students' experiences, in a virtual Montessori program that started at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.  My good friend and former coworker Claudia, an AMI 0-3 trained Montessorian, joined me back on the podcast to interview me about the master's program and the contents of my thesis research. You might remember Claudia from episode 15, where I interviewed her, and episode 20, where she interviewed me about starting Multilingual Montessori.  In this episode we chat all about virtual learning - both in the contexts of the master's program, and my research on virtual Montessori preschool, what my biggest takeaways were from interviewing virtual Montessori teachers, and what the future of virtual Montessori school might be.  Full text of Gabrielle's thesis, Virtualizing Montessori: Experiences of teachers working in  a fully remote Montessori preschool (click "fulltext" in upper right corner) View Gabrielle's research poster from the 2023 American Montessori Society conference Episode 15.

Teenagers naturally experience a rollercoaster of emotions, making everyday pressures and transitional changes overwhelming for parents and adolescents alike. Our guest Lisa Damour, a clinical psychologist, and best-selling author of ‘The Emotional Lives of Teenagers' emphasizes the integrality of validating teenagers' emotions while also providing a framework on how to understand and support them.  In this episode, Lisa reveals what to expect from teenage emotional development, and why we need to change the way we approach adolescent mental health. Learn effective ways to maintain open lines of communication, clearly articulate values, cope with common challenges such as too much gaming time and disengaging at school, and foster deeper bonds. With research-informed explanations and real-life examples, this episode gives parents the tools needed to support their teens through this difficult stage in life. Listen and Learn:  From where does the reputation of teenagers derive, and is it justified? Why do teenagers experience such powerful emotions as they transition from childhood to adolescence?  The distinction between hot and cold cognition, and how parents can use this knowledge to help their teenagers prepare for situations where they may become overwhelmed or not be able to think clearly. Is it a myth that difficult emotions are damaging or should be avoided?  How to help teenagers with expressing their feelings. Why distraction can be an effective coping strategy for teens to regulate their emotions. How communication and a sense of safety can have a meaningful impact on adolescent behavior.    Why do teenagers find their parents so ‘annoying'? Are there gender differences in emotion?  Resources:  For more on Lisa's work, visit her website: https://drlisadamour.com/ Check out the Ask Lisa podcast: https://drlisadamour.com/resources/podcast/ Order your copy of Lisa's books:  The Emotional Lives of Teenagers: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780593500019 Untangled: Guiding Teenage Girls Through the Seven Transitions Into Adulthood: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780553393071 Under Pressure: Confronting the Epidemic of Stress and Anxiety in Girls: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780399180071 Follow Lisa on Facebook (@lisadamourphd), Instagram (@lisa.damour) or Twitter (@LDamour) About Lisa Damour  Dr. Lisa Damour is the author of three New York Times best sellers: Untangled, Under Pressure, and The Emotional Lives of Teenagers.

Her dad had his own business when she was growing up that‘s been in their family for almost 80 years. Dina's husband is also self-employed. When they met, he had his own brick and mortar retail space. There was just something about that life, including the flexibility and being your own boss, that always appealed to Dina. This is not something that happens often in the field of Education. Dina's career in early childhood education has always been in the nonprofit sector. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP? In 2004, when Dina first moved to Calgary, she was sitting at a coffee shop with her fiance (now husband). She was working for a large non-profit at the time and 24 years old. Her finance asked her, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”. In the building where they were having coffee, there was a bay. She pointed to it and told him that she would want to open up her own preschool program in a bay in a little building like this right in the heart of a community. Then, she wouldn't have the red tape of a board and change could happen more quickly. Her fiance told her that he hoped that she got that one day. Dina remembers walking away from that coffee outing feeling like she had just put her dream out to the universe. 10 YEARS LATER Who would have ever thought that 10 years later, that's exactly where Akidemy would open their doors! Dina and her husband moved into that community in 2006 and got to know all of the different retailers that are in the building, especially the owner of the liquor store. Dina and her husband are both Italian and love wine! The liquor store owner's wife ran a day home and still does to this day. She and Dina often talked about working in the industry. Dina, at the time, was managing day homes. The liquor store owner and his wife knew that Dina's dream was to open a preschool. AN OPPORTUNITY One day, they let Dina know that the chiropractor in the building was leaving and this was her chance to open her program! This was in January of 2014. Dina picked up the phone that night and I called her best friend Tristan who she had known, at that point, for six or seven years. Dina knew that this wasn't something she could do on her own.
