"It was pretty apparent to me that something was going on with him," says Kristi Levine, describing the realization that, based on her experience as a Montessori teacher, her infant son, Trey, was missing developmental milestones. Unfortunately, Kristi's hunch turned out to be correct and Trey was later diagnosed with a rare genetic mutation called CACNA1A which is impacting his motor skills, balance, coordination and speech. Kristi and her husband, Eric, join host Michael Carrese on this installment in our Year of the Zebraseries to help us understand the disorder and its implications for Trey and their family, which includes Trey's older sister Stella.  “There's a lot of guilt involved in being a parent of a child who has a disability because you never feel like you're doing enough,” shares Eric, even though they both work full time and have becoming experts at juggling work, caregiving, advocating, and volunteering with the CACNA1A Foundation. In this candid interview, Eric and Kristi discuss the challenges of parenting a child with complex medical needs, the importance of community support, the ongoing search for treatment options, and share some advice for clinicians caring for patients and families living with rare disorders. “We just want medical professionals to respect and understand what we're dealing with on a day-to-day basis and to see our kids holistically, and not just try to fix the problem medically. Understand that for us, the biggest thing that we want for our kids is just their quality of life.”Mentioned in this episode:CACNA1A Foundation If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Have you heard it said that “a parent is only as happy as their unhappiest child”? We know that when you have an unhappy or hurting child, life feels heavy and hard and you may not know how to respond. As part of the Parenting in the Weeds series, Lynn Roush and Austin Conner explore a much needed topic: how to connect with your child when they're hurting.  Parents often want to avoid painful feelings in their kids, hoping that they will go away on their own. Or, they jump in to fix the hurt and bypass the opportunity to connect with their child. We want to equip you to lean into your child's heart when you sense that they are in emotional pain. This conversation looks at what hurts kids both inside and outside of the home, how to recognize hurt in your child, how to respond to your child's pain and the relevant topic of recognizing warning signs for suicide. Austin and Lynn offer practical ways to be present, build resilience, and model God's love to your children through life's pain.  You can download our free Managing Your Emotions guide at withyouintheweeds.com to help you and your child identify their feelings.

Joanne Mjadzelics: For 4years Joanne tried everything to have a very dangerous manipulative paedophile and his accomplices brought to justice and taken away from children and society, but this man was a celebrity, a rockstar, and every report and complaint she made to numerous members of the police in different UK police forces was brushed under the carpet and Joanne was falsey labelled insane and other derogatory things by these corrupt members of the police and their bosses. When the evil paedophile was finally arrested, it was for drug offences, following a tip off that he was importing drugs from the US, it was only on this drugs raid that the police found child pornography evidence that Joanne had been screaming to them about for years. The monster was finally caught, and a year later he was sentenced to 29years in prison and a further 6years on licence, and two women who Joanne had also kept on telling police about who abused their own babies with him were sentenced to 14years and 17years... But the ordeal did not end there...The police kept on thanking Joanne, right until she spoke to the media and exposed their horrendous failings to protect very young children, then they were embarrassed and had to shut her up, they arrested and charged her over the same images that she had tried on numerous occasions to get the police to take from her and investigate, when the images were sent from Watkins to her phone, she went straight to the top and contacted the chiefs of police, begging for their help to catch this predator, telling them that she had to agree to disgusting things to get him to trust her so she could trap him. They used evidence that she had given them herself against her, they also used falsified evidence against her, transcripts that had been written by Watkins and purposely left on his computer with Joanne's name attached, when everything else had been wiped, he left incriminating "evidence" he had planted ready for the day he would be finally arrested. AOL head office were contacted by police to trace chat accounts that were also wrongly used against her, AOL confirmed none traced back to Joanne, but they all traced back to Watkins. Joanne had been traumatised for years, forced to keep going back to play a sickening role to try and get enough for police to finally act on her tearful pleas for help to stop him, yet in court they abused their power and turned everything she had done and sacrificed against her, they edited a sex tape so it looked as though she was instigating things and showed the edited version in court, this sex tape and what Watkins had her say in it was one of the reasons Joanne first reported the charming man she once loved to police, but they traumatised her even more by publicly showing the edited shocking sex tape in court, to Joanne it was like publicly shaming a rape victim, because she was a victim of Watkins too, she isn't a child but she was the only person to do something about him and sacrifice herself to do it. Joanne was rightly acquitted of all charges against her in court and spoke out very publicly about the malicious prosecution against her. She was digging up too much dirt, and fully believes that high ranking members of the police and society are involved in the paedophile circles Watkins was involved with...Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Sadiqa, my guest's mother, was fifteen years old when she became a mother for the first time as part of an arranged marriage in Baghdad, Iraq in 1955. She was a wonderful mother but Sairan thought a bit too cautious which is very common for a teenager to think. Having a more conservative husband, Sadiqa loved all of her children equally and would often do anything for them. She was more lenient that her husband. My guest was one of seven children, safely nestled in the middle of the large group of children.With no formal education, she never did any professional training, she was beautiful, had a wonderful sense of humor and did everything for her children as her husband travelled frequently for business. In Sairan's mind, her mother "had seven PHD's because she raised seven wonderful children, each one unique.Unfortunately, Sadiqua died unexpectedly at fifty-eight years old and Sairan wasn't able to introduce her first child to her mother in person.Sairan is a Business Strategist and Engineer but she also is helping people unpack their hidden gem. Often, we think we are happy-working, taking care of the family, seeing friends, etc. But, Sairan, who was born in Bagdad and now an Iraqi American citizen, learned many life lessons at 26 years old  when she came to the United States with her big American dreams. Today, she's a mom, entrepreneur and very successful engineer, but she's come to appreciate the belif of making and impact in the workd and that obstacles can be overcome. "Voices of Truth" is a compilation of engaging speakers sharing their stories of impact. Sairan is on the the contributing authors.As one can expect, being so far away from family, at such a young age, had it's challenges and heartbreak. And it was such an honor to hear Sairan share stories of her mother. Unfortunately, things didn't work out as planned back in 2002 but I'm grateful that Sairan felt comfortable opening up to me.My guest has launched another career where she's helping middle aged women and men take their next steps in life to figure out who they are, what they want to do with their lives and what kind of impact they want to have on the world.I received wonderful emails from Sairan including these wonderful tidbits about her mother. She wrote "my relationship with my mother has been both foundational and transformative. She was a woman of quiet strength and resilience, and while our bond wasn't always expressed through words, her actions taught me the value of perseverance, integrity, and grace under pressure. She laid the groundwork for the woman I've become—both as an engineer and a business strategist—by modeling the power of showing up fully, even when the odds are stacked against you.I was drawn to your podcast because I believe these stories matter. The influence of our mothers or female role models often shapes our identity in powerful, often subtle, ways. I wanted to share insights on how that influence—especially in midlife—can become a springboard for reinvention. For many women, midlife feels like a cross roads. But with the right mindset, it can be a launch pad.  That's a message I hope will inspire your audience to reflect on their own journeys and the women who helped shape them."There are many wonderful stories that Sairan shared with me. I hope you enjoy this episode. And take a part of  Saduqa with you where ever you go. SOCIAL MEDIA:LINKEDIN: Sairan Aqrawi, M.Sc.INSTAGRAM: sairanaqrawiEngineering Innovator | Leadership Strategist | Transformational Team Lead | Communication Specialist | Team Performance ExpertWashington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA)The George Washington University - School of Engineering & Applied ScienceWashington DC-Baltimore Area Contact infoLet's Set Up a Meeting    T AN IMPACT IN THE WORLD / AND THAT  “OBSTACLES CAN BE OVERCOME”.

What do you do when your anxiety has become their anxiety? In this listener Q&A, Justin and Kylie respond to Amy from Melbourne—a self-diagnosed helicopter parent whose 9-year-old daughter now struggles with fear and risk aversion. With compassion and practical insight, they break down the difference between risky and dangerous play, explore the impact of parental anxiety, and offer real-world strategies to build your child’s confidence—without ignoring safety. KEY POINTS Risk ≠ Danger: Risky play involves challenge with decision-making and agency. Dangerous or hazardous play involves hidden threats kids can’t yet assess. Why Risky Play Matters: It improves mental health, builds confidence, reduces anxiety, enhances learning, and strengthens decision-making. Parental Anxiety is Contagious: When parents over-control, children miss the chance to develop autonomy and trust in their own judgement. Structure Builds Competence: Autonomy-supportive parenting isn’t “hands off”—it means offering guidance, boundaries, and support while allowing your child to step up gradually. Small Steps Lead to Big Growth: You don’t have to throw your child in the deep end. Micro-risks—like ordering lunch, paying for milk, or exploring a store aisle alone—build trust and resilience. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “The goal is to keep children as safe as necessary—not as safe as possible.” RESOURCES MENTIONED The Parenting Revolution by Dr Justin Coulson happyfamilies.com.au – More resources for autonomy-supportive parenting Submit your question: happyfamilies.com.au/podcast ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Start With a Conversation Gently acknowledge your own anxiety and let your child know you’re learning to trust her more. Introduce Low-Stakes Risks: Let her pay for something at the shops Send her to order lunch while you wait nearby Assign a small independent task at home Teach, Then Step Back Give your child the structure to succeed—rules, expectations, safety cues—then give them space to apply it. Increase Freedom Gradually As both your and your child’s confidence grows, slowly expand what she’s allowed to do without your help. Keep Safety Contextual Not every environment is safe for independence. Know your context, but look for creative alternatives to build autonomy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Healthy Mouth Movement, we get real about something many parents sense but can't quite name: when a child's behavior is actually a reflection of their biology. We talk about how signs like meltdowns, toe walking, chewing on everything, sleep issues, and poor posture might not be “just a phase” or even ADHD—they might be the result of a nervous system stuck in survival mode. We open up about our own parenting missteps and discoveries (hey, no judgment—we've all been there) and share the red flags we wish someone had pointed out earlier. From mouth breathing and tethered oral tissues to overlooked conditions like POTS, PANDAS, and EDS, this episode connects the dots between the mouth, the nervous system, and your child's overall regulation. Key Takeaways:-Behavior is biology. What looks like defiance might be your child's nervous system screaming for help.-The mouth tells a story. Chronic mouth breathing, low tongue posture, and poor sleep are often the first clues.-It's more common than we think. Conditions like POTS and PANDAS are often misdiagnosed or missed entirely.-Small shifts = big impact. We talk about tools like nasal breathing exercises, crunchy foods, craniosacral therapy, and myofunctional work that can help bring your child's body back to safety and balance.-Be the advocate. No one knows your child like you do. If no one is asking the right questions, you can—and should—start doing so. If your child struggles with focus, emotions, sleep, or sensory overload, this is the episode you've been waiting for. Let's stop guessing and start seeing. Book a consultation today:I am always here to help answer any question and schedule a 15 minute call with me. If I can not help, I can get you to a provider that can.https://shereewertz.com/15-min

Dr. Susan Thomas, accomplished school psychologist and parent, tackles this universal parenting challenge with refreshing honesty and practical wisdom. Drawing from decades of professional experience and personal parenting trials, she reveals that motivation isn't about finding the perfect reward—it's about discovering what genuinely resonates with your unique child.  The conversation takes a powerful turn as Dr. Thomas introduces her "AAA" method for handling peer mistreatment (gotta listen to hear it, hehe), and technology emerges as a central theme throughout the discussion, with Dr. Thomas identifying excessive screen time as one of the most significant challenges facing today's children. The episode concludes with perhaps the most valuable parenting strategy of all—establishing trusted adults outside the immediate family who share your values and can serve as safe resources for your children when they find themselves in challenging situations.

Shortly after graduating high school, Ed Gale — who stood 3'4” tall — left Michigan with $40 in his pocket and went to Hollywood. Gale said his goal was never to become a leading man, but to make a living as a working actor… and that he did, appearing in more than 200 television shows, commercials, and films. Upon arriving in Hollywood the first role he was offered was none other than Howard the Duck — a role he was originally told he was “too tall for.” Gale continued to work up until his passing in May of 2025.On this episode I'm recommending four films that Gale appeared in. In many of his acting roles (including most of these) Gale appeared wearing masks and costumes, but as Rollo from Under the Rainbow once said, “no dream is too big, and no dreamer too small.”Child's Play 2 (1990)Two years after the original hit theaters, Chucky returned to once again torment Andy Barclay. While the original Child's Play was straight horror, this is the film in which Chucky began to develop the personality we know and love today. Keep an eye out for scenes in which Chucky runs around; that's Ed Gale in costume.Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (1991)Bill and Ted have a problem: despite being told they will eventually become the biggest band in the universe, they still don't know how to play their instruments and their girlfriends are fed up with them. Oh, and evil robots from the future have come back to murder them, so there's that. Featuring a stellar soundtrack and lots of jokes, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey did not perform as well as the original in theaters, but has become a cult classic since. Keep an eye out for Station in the film — that's Ed Gale!Spaceballs (1987)In this Mel Brooks masterpiece, Princess Vespa has been kidnapped by Dark Helmet and his cohorts and must be rescued by Lone Star and his faithful companion, Barf. If it all sounds a bit silly it is. Featuring an all-star cast and more Mel Brooks humor than you can swing a lightsaber at. Keep an eye out for Ed Gale as one of the Dinks, and may the Schwartz be with ya!O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)In this Coen Brothers film, three members of a chain gang escape when one of them tells the other two he's chained to that he knows where more than a million dollars worth of treasure is buried. Loosely based on Homer's Odyssey, this is another film with a star-studded cast and an award winning soundtrack. Ed Gale makes an appearance as “the Little Man” during an election and in this appearance, you can actually see his face! (After seeing it, you may recognize him from Bones, My Name is Earl, and many other roles.)Whether he appeared in a speaking role or in a costume, Gale gave every one of his roles 100% and swore people could see him smiling through the masks he wore. After watching these four films, you just might agree with him.Subscribe now to the Video Store Podcast to receive a lifetime supply of popcorn. Offer valid at any of our physical locations.
