Send us Fan MailThat sinking feeling after you overreact, snap, or realize you handled something the hard way can be brutal. The worst part is how quietly it sticks around, replaying in your head and whispering that you are failing your kids. We refuse that story, and we get practical about what to do next.We share real parenting mishaps and why they can feel so heavy, then dig into what is actually happening underneath: high stakes, shame, comparison, and the belief that our kids are a mirror of our worth. We talk about public moments when you feel judged, how to reframe the crowd in your mind, and how to shift from managing appearances to meeting a child's needs. We also name the pressure social media adds, from perfect houses to nonstop activities, and why guilt-based decisions can drain your time, money, and peace.The heart of the conversation is repair. We break down self-forgiveness as a skill your kids learn by watching you, plus the “redo” strategy that helps you reset after a mistake and rebuild trust. We also cover when to circle back for a calm conversation, how to apologize with humility, and how to ask your child what would help next time.Subscribe, share this with a parent who needs a little grace today, and leave a review so more families can find Brain-Based Parenting.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402

Send us Fan MailHope is one of the most underrated parenting tools, and it's not just a feeling. When kids are dealing with trauma, loss, or ongoing stress, hope can be the difference between shutting down and trying again. We dig into a memorable story shared by Dr. Bruce Perry that captures how “rescue” changes endurance, then connect it to what parents see every day: kids do better when they believe something better is possible and when they trust the adults around them. We also bring in Viktor Frankl's perspective on meaning and purpose, because resilience is often less about raw strength and more about having a reason to keep going.From there, we get practical. We talk about gratitude practices that fit into real routines, how anxiety and gratitude compete for attention, and why simple rituals like sharing “highs and lows” can create safety and connection at home. We also challenge the habit of always answering “I'm fine” and explore how healthy vulnerability can unlock support from friends, mentors, and faith communities.If you want brain-based parenting strategies, trauma-informed encouragement, and realistic next steps for family resilience, this conversation is for you.

Send us Fan MailHope is easy to talk about and hard to hold onto when your child is struggling, withdrawing, or stuck in negative self-talk. We start by defining hope as more than a wish. Real hope is future-focused and backed by action, which means parents can do more than wait and worry. We unpack the signs a child may be losing hope, from losing interest and energy to having trouble imagining a next chapter. From there we share a simple approach that opens doors instead of starting fights: honest “I notice” statements, curiosity, and giving your child enough agency to talk without feeling judged.We also dig into loneliness and isolation, including the way social media and “echo chambers” can reinforce a teen's worst beliefs. A key shift is moving from “How do I get my kid to fit in?” to “How do I help my kid feel belonging?” We talk about faith, community support, and meaningful rituals as anchor points in chaotic seasons, plus why kids often receive wisdom better from trusted adults outside the immediate parent-child dynamic.To close, we focus on what restores hope fastest: small measurable wins, specific encouragement, and unconditional love that is not tied to performance.

Send us Fan MailThe adults shaping your child are not always the ones in your house and that can be either frightening or hopeful. We sit down with a Boys Ranch team that lives this reality every day and unpack why work mentors and vocational mentors so often become the go-to trusted adult for kids. We start with first-job memories, then move into the core idea: side by side work creates connection without constant correction. A mentor who shows up, listens, and takes time to ask questions can lower a young person's defenses and build real trust. We talk about how this applies to parents too, including a simple shift that changes everything: do the chore with your kid and use the shared task to talk. We also touch on the impact of positive male role models, the high stakes influence of coaches, and why character should matter as much as credentials.From there, we get specific about life skills and job readiness. Mentored work teaches soft skills like punctuality, communication, accountability, and how to handle mistakes. You will hear why integrity is taught best by example, why apologizing can deepen a relationship, and how creating a safe space to fail helps kids build confidence and perseverance that carries into school, work, and adulthood.If you care about parenting, youth mentorship, work ethic, and raising resilient kids, hit play.

Send us Fan MailChores can feel like daily friction, but they're also one of the clearest ways kids learn responsibility, confidence, and how to live with other people. We start with a simple question about least favorite childhood chores, then move into the real parenting challenge: how do you build a healthy relationship with work without turning your home into a battlefield or doing everything for your kids because it's faster? We walk through age-by-age expectations for chores and household responsibilities, from toddlers who want to “help” to school-age kids who can handle more independence, and into the tricky middle school and high school years where motivation changes and schedules explode. Along the way, we connect chores to belonging, family teamwork, problem solving, and the long-term development of work ethic. We also talk about why it's worth letting kids participate even when it slows you down, and how practical life skills help teens leave home as capable, self-sufficient adults. We dig into teen overwhelm and overscheduling, including how to have a real conversation about priorities, time management, rest, and the need for downtime. Finally, we share what work mentorship looks like at Cal Farley's Boys Ranch, including how ownership, encouragement, and learning through hands-on projects can build workplace initiative and leadership. If you want practical parenting advice grounded in brain-based development, this conversation will give you a clearer plan for chores, responsibility, and raising adults.

Send us Fan MailYour kid says they're bored, rejects every suggestion, and somehow you're the problem. We get it and we're offering a better path: use recreation and outdoor play to build real connection, not just kill time. We're joined by our youth activities team to talk through the small, practical choices that change everything, like stepping off the sidelines, bringing a positive attitude, and being willing to look a little silly while you learn alongside your kids.We dig into why adult participation matters so much for parent child relationships and family bonding. When you “get in the game,” kids feel seen, and the pressure drops. We talk about vulnerability as a parenting strength, how losing on purpose is not the goal but how being okay with losing can be, and why play creates a safer space for the conversations that feel hard at the dinner table. Recreation also supports emotional regulation, physical activity, and healthier routines, especially when life at home feels tense.You'll also hear our take on planned family activities versus spontaneous fun, plus how to respond when kids call every idea “lame.” We share tactics that work: approach with enthusiasm, set a short time limit, offer an easy exit, and invite kids to help tweak rules or invent new games. We close with a honest warning about overprogramming and a reminder that boredom can be where creativity begins. If this helped, subscribe, share it with a parent friend, and leave a review.

Send us Fan MailYour child's favorite memory probably won't be the final score, it'll be the moment you jumped in and played. We dig into how families can build stronger relationships with kids through a healthy recreation life, using brain-based parenting principles that make play more than “free time.” We define recreation as true rejuvenation and talk about why it works best when it reduces stress, builds connection, and gives kids a safe place to practice big emotions.We walk through what recreation can look like at different ages, from simple elementary games that build motor skills and rule-following, to middle school activities where the pressure around winning and losing ramps up, to high school recreation that supports identity, resilience, and self-discipline. Along the way, we highlight the internal benefits that matter most: sportsmanship, teamwork, empathy, and problem solving. We also get practical about options, including outdoor adventure activities, swimming, arts and crafts, board games, and strategy games that help kids “think ahead” and learn from setbacks.We also tackle what makes recreation succeed: structure, clear expectations, safety, and adults who guide instead of dominate. Finally, we talk screen time and why boundaries only work when we model them, too, including simple scheduling ideas that replace endless scrolling with real connection.

Send us Fan MailThe fastest way to burn out as a parent is to believe you're supposed to carry everything alone. We dig into why asking for help can feel so loaded with shame, fear, and “I should have it together,” even when you're doing your best and running on fumes. If you've ever had someone ask, “What do you need?” and you honestly didn't know how to answer, you'll feel seen here and you'll leave with language you can actually use. We talk about what self-care looks like in real households, including the truth that what calms one person might do nothing for another. Then we get practical about recognizing burnout in the daily grind, reframing help as support, and treating vulnerability as a form of strength. We share how small actions like a meal, a ride, a daycare pickup, or a quick check-in can make an outsized difference for stressed families, and how those moments can build a culture where people look out for each other without keeping score. We also break down how self-care shifts for single parents and working parents, where time, money, childcare, and mental bandwidth are tight. You'll hear ideas for compound self-care with kids, simple planning that makes breathing room possible, and boundary-setting that protects family routines and your own regulation. If you're stuck in survival mode, we focus on tiny, repeatable resets you can do today and how to model healthy breaks so your kids learn it's okay to say, “I need a minute.” Subscribe, share this with a parent who needs backup, and leave a review so more families can find Brain-Based Parenting.

Send us Fan MailYou can't pour patience into your kids when your own tank has been empty for weeks. We discuss what self-care really means for parents, foster parents, and caregivers and why it's one of the most “brain-based parenting” skills we can practice.We start with the real-life stuff: workouts, quiet time with music, crafts, getting outside, and simple alone time. Then we dig into the deeper definition of self-care as intentional choices that help manage stress and regulate emotions. We also call out the biggest trap busy families fall into: believing self-care has to be a big, perfect event. Instead, we talk about small daily actions that prevent caregiver burnout, reduce resentment, and keep conflict from turning into a running scoreboard of old hurts.We explore warning signs like bitterness, joylessness, apathy, and the slow loss of connection in the home, plus how self-care teaches kids to care for their own mental health and physical health. You'll hear practical, time-efficient strategies like taking short breaks, packing snacks, combining movement with parenting, and planning ahead to reduce decision fatigue. We also unpack boundaries, saying no, and how to reframe guilt so self-care feels less like selfishness and more like responsible leadership in your family.If this conversation helps, subscribe to the show, share it with a parent who's running on fumes, and leave a review so more families can find Brain-Based Parenting.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402

Send us Fan MailRepentance can sound like a harsh word, especially when you're parenting a child who already carries shame. We reframe it as metanoia, a change of mind and heart that moves your family from self-defeating patterns toward real flourishing. Along the way, we talk about why kids don't just need “better behavior,” they need a safe relationship with caring adults and a clearer picture of what God is actually like.We talk about what healthy repentance looks like for kids: awareness, confession, making repairs, and growing empathy. We get concrete about parenting skills that support honesty, like responding instead of reacting, avoiding catastrophizing, and making amends when we overreact. We also dig into the difference between a quick “I'm sorry” script and a real apology that names the harm, takes ownership, and respects that forgiveness can't be demanded.Then we shift to fasting and sacrifice in a way that fits real family life. We explain fasting as giving something up to depend on God and give Him your full attention, and we explore age-appropriate options like screen fasts, shared prayer, and simple Sabbath rhythms that don't turn into a performance. If you're looking for Christian parenting guidance that blends spiritual formation with practical, relationship-centered tools, this conversation is for you.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402
Send us Fan MailFaith can feel like a set of ideas kids are supposed to agree with, until real life hits and the beliefs don't have roots. We sit down with our chapel team to talk about how children actually develop a lived, resilient faith through three interconnected practices: serving others, building healthy relationships, and learning what worship really is. We move into the bigger question of how belief becomes something a child can practice on a normal Tuesday. We explore why faith formation is more than spiritual education, and why the Gospel of John treats believing like a verb. Obedience, trust, and “try it and see” moments help kids discover God in action, not just in theory. We share what we've noticed on service projects: kids almost never regret going, groups come back bonded, and serving makes the whole God thing feel more believable. You'll also hear practical, age-appropriate ideas, from chores as service, to plugging into church roles, to “adopting” a senior neighbor who needs small help and real connection. Finally, we zoom out to what healthy Christian community looks like for kids: a judge-free space for hard questions, leaders who are warm but firm, shared meals, intergenerational friendships, and parents who model positive relationships. We also unpack worship beyond singing, including gratitude at home and intentional time in nature that opens kids up to wonder. If you're busy or unsure where to start, we give a simple next step you can take this week.

Send us Fan MailIf your family's Bible time feels like a chore chart and prayer feels like a performance, you're not alone and you're not stuck. We sit down with our Boys Ranch ministry team to get brutally practical about spiritual disciplines for kids and how to teach them without turning faith into pressure.We discuss: spiritual disciplines are practices that shape a real relationship with God, not hoops that earn love.We walk through what age-appropriate family Bible reading can look like from pre-K to high school. For little ones, we talk picture Bibles, story-driven rhythms like Advent, and making a child's first Bible a big deal. For elementary and middle school, we lean into narratives and curiosity with two prompts that change everything: “I notice” and “I wonder.” For teens, we name the temptation to chase “relevance” and instead encourage you to stay the course, let the Bible be central, and create a safe place for real questions.Then we shift to teaching children to pray. We break down healthy, real prayer as a conversation with God, including listening, not just talking. We share easy frameworks like the Taco Prayer acronym (Thanksgiving, Adoration, Confession, Others, Self) and a simple three-part prayer any family can use. Along the way, we tackle common misconceptions like treating God as a genie, assuming silence means God is absent, and trying to force consistency through guilt instead of grace.If you want practical Christian parenting tools for faith formation that actually work on busy days, press play.

Send us Fan MailThe fastest way to lose a relationship with your kid is to treat disrespect like a fight you have to win. We'd rather treat it like a skill that can be taught, practiced, and repaired, especially when emotions run hot and everyone's patience is thin.We dig into the most practical building blocks of teaching respect at home: modeling what we want to see, creating small daily rituals, and showing kids how to treat people well in real situations like restaurants, school frustrations, and family routines. We also get specific about consistency, because a “no” that turns into a “yes” after enough whining trains the exact behavior you're trying to stop. You'll hear how “let me think about it” and the “yes when” approach can reduce power struggles while still keeping strong boundaries and teaching time and place. Finally, we unpack what to do when disrespect is intense or out of character, using trauma-informed curiosity and emotional regulation tools like stop, breathe, choose. Sometimes the blowup isn't about you at all, and staying calm is what helps a child find that insight.If you found this helpful, subscribe, share it with another parent, and leave a review so more families can find Brain-Based Parenting.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402
Send us Fan MailDisrespect can show up in a thousand tiny ways a blunt “you're not very smart, are you?” a dismissive “I know” a joke that lands like a punch. We wanted to get past the lectures and punishments and talk about what actually builds respect inside a child's brain over time. we talk about what respect is, what it is not, and why the hardest moments are often the most teachable.We break respect into two clear categories: the respect tied to positional authority and the respect every person deserves because of basic human dignity. From there, we dig into a common parenting trap: expecting respect as the foundation instead of treating relationship as the foundation. We connect the dots to attachment and trust, why classrooms can be tough places for respect, and why teenagers are wired to push for independence. If you've ever felt pulled into a power struggle, you'll hear practical language that keeps correction focused on behavior rather than attacking the child.One of the biggest takeaways is the “emotional piggy bank” model: connection and meeting needs create deposits, while redirections create withdrawals. When the account is empty, disrespect comes fast. We also talk about self-respect versus entitlement, how sports can teach empathy, and how social media and “kid content” can quietly train kids to mock adults.

Send us Fan MailGrief can make even confident parents feel helpless, because there isn't a “right” thing to say that fixes what happened. We talk about how kids experience grief and loss, and why our first job is not solving the pain but staying connected through it. Along the way, we share personal stories that remind us grief is real whether it's death, distance in relationships, miscarriage, a major life change, or even the losses adults are tempted to call “small.” We get practical about what helps children grieve in a healthy way: validating emotions without judgment, resisting the urge to rush a timeline, and understanding that a child's grief can resurface months or years later as their brain develops and their meaning-making grows. We also talk about why adults often minimize grief to ease our own discomfort, and how that can shut down emotional growth and create long-term patterns kids carry into adulthood.

Send us Fan MailKids don't wake up one day and magically know how to lead. They practice leadership in the messy places first: the toddler who insists on doing it “my way,” the grade-schooler who wants to run the game, the teen who's testing independence while still needing structure. We dig into what healthy leadership looks like at different ages and how brain-based parenting helps us guide that drive without turning every moment into a power struggle. We spend time on skills that make leadership sustainable: listening, empathy, teamwork, and conflict resolution. That includes the hard parenting choice to let kids work some conflicts out on their own when it's safe, then processing what helped and what didn't. We also tackle resilience and responsibility, including why kids need chances to fail successfully, push through when something stops being fun, and learn that finishing matters. And we close with a reminder that hits home: our job isn't to create a better version of us, it's to help our kids become a strong, grounded version of themselves.

Send us Fan MailBossy isn't the same thing as bold and loud isn't the same thing as leadership. We get practical about how kids actually develop leadership skills and what parents can do at home to shape it. Along the way we start with a fun warm-up on fictional leaders, then get serious about what makes someone worth following: honesty, dependability, healthy boundaries, and the courage to do the right thing even when it isn't popular.One of the biggest takeaways is that strong leadership is built on self-evaluation. We talk about how to process conflict with kids so they learn to think critically, own their part, and try a better approach next time. That “coachability” becomes real confidence, the kind that doesn't need to blame others or prove anything. We also unpack the question every parent asks: are leaders born or made? Our answer is both, because some kids have natural pull, but every kid can practice leadership through small moments in sports, school, chores, and friendships.We also draw a sharp line between being a boss and being a leader. A boss chases control, while a leader uses influence and helps other people feel respected and capable. If your child tends to be bossy, we share simple ways to redirect that energy into healthy leadership by naming intent, teaching empathy, and focusing on how their words land. We wrap with core character traits that support leadership for children, including hard work ethic, perspective, humility, and learning to collaborate instead of going it alone.Subscribe to Brain-Based Parenting, share this with a parent who needs it, and leave a five-star review.

Send us Fan Mail We dig into how unstructured play helps children build emotional regulation and resilience through big body movement, rhythm, and real-world problem solving. From negotiating what to do when you're bored to recovering after a fall or a failed climb, free play gives kids a safe place to feel frustration, try again, and discover what actually helps their bodies settle.We also talk honestly about why many parents feel trapped by modern safety pressures. When every rare nightmare story goes viral and we live in a highly litigious culture, it's easy to overcorrect into constant hovering. We explore that trade-off and why “no risk” can backfire by leaving kids less competent and more anxious. Along the way, we share practical boundaries that keep play genuinely independent: clear physical limits, behavior rules that prevent harm, and the kind of supervision that stays present without taking over.Screens raise the stakes, so we get concrete about what to do when a kid says “I'm bored” and reaches for a phone. We discuss screen time limits, creating a realistic screen-free time plan, replacing screens with better options, and the importance of parents modeling the same habits. We wrap with ways neighborhoods, schools, and churches can build more opportunities for group free play with safe spaces and caring adults nearby.

Send us Fan MailOn todays episode we talk about what unstructured play really is: kid-led, flexible, sometimes loud, sometimes messy, and quietly essential for healthy development.We connect the dots between free play and the skills families wish kids could “just learn” faster: negotiation, conflict repair, empathy, creativity, and resilience. We also talk about what gets lost when childhood is packed with testing pressure, nonstop activities, and constant screen stimulation. Structured sports and adult-led programs can be great, but they are not the same thing as peer-negotiated play where kids create rules, test limits, and learn what fairness feels like.Then we move through real-world parenting questions: what unstructured play looks like for toddlers, elementary kids, and teenagers (yes, teens still “play,” even if it looks like tinkering, music sharing, and hanging out). We dig into boredom as a feature, not a flaw, and why calm downtime helps the brain organize learning. If you've ever felt tempted to fix boredom instantly, this conversation gives you a better option that supports brain-based parenting and long-term emotional regulation.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402
Send us Fan MailThe moment your kid starts “acting out,” do you see a problem to shut down or a need to understand? We dig into a shift that changes everything for parents: many so-called attention-seeking behaviors are really relationship-seeking bids for connection. When you respond as if your child is reaching for closeness rather than trying to control you, your next move gets clearer and your home gets calmer.We talk through how to acknowledge the need for connection without reinforcing inappropriate behavior, using a connect-before-correct approach drawn from trust-based relational intervention principles. You'll hear practical language you can use right away, including how to label what you're seeing, offer a replacement behavior, and actually practise that replacement with your child so it becomes a real skill instead of a one-time lecture. We also explore the tricky line between ignoring behavior and ignoring a child, why “ignoring” can backfire and escalate, and how to stay present without getting pulled into arguments.Finally, we share proactive tools that reduce negative bids for attention: planned connection windows, age-appropriate ways to interrupt, and boundaries that work for teens.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402
Send a textYour kid isn't trying to ruin your day, they're trying to find you. We unpack a parenting trap that shows up in every home: calling a child “attention seeking” and missing the deeper need for relationship, attachment, and felt safety.We tell a few honest stories about the ridiculous things kids do to get a reaction, then we zoom in on what's happening under the surface. When a child interrupts your phone call, acts goofy at the worst time, or melts down after you walk in the door, it can be a bid for connection that clashes with your stress and burnout. Using a brain-based parenting lens, we talk about why those moments trigger adults, how kids pick up on our posture and energy, and why a quick, connected response often prevents bigger behavior later.We also get practical about what connection seeking looks like at different ages, from toddlers who want constant closeness to teens who act aloof while still craving reassurance. We share simple scripts, the “love tank” idea, and why being “annoyingly reassuring” can protect adolescents from chasing connection in riskier places.

Send a textWhat if the simplest games taught the deepest social skills? We dive into how kids actually learn to belong—through unstructured play, sibling spats, and the tiny repairs that turn conflict into connection. We talk about the building blocks of social competence, from negotiating roles in pretend play to inviting the outsider onto the team, and why those early reps matter for confidence, empathy, and group problem-solving.We contrast the noisy, collaborative energy of childhood play with the quiet lessons of growing up solo: independence, focus, and the missing practice in healthy conflict. Then we tackle the modern twist—screens and social media. Phones can soothe a fidgety kid at church or in a restaurant, but they can also crowd out patience, waiting, and conversation. We talk digital safety, the pressure of “being canceled,” and how teens learn online norms without tone, posture, or immediate repair. Instead of panic, we offer practical guardrails: device-free moments, mindful posting, and the courage to own mistakes rather than delete and disappear.You'll leave with ready-to-use coaching moves. Teach eye contact in three-to-five second reps. Use a simple talk loop—notice, ask, reflect, add. Pause a movie to name the emotion on a character's face and the cue that reveals it. Keep a reset line handy—“That came out wrong”—and model the apology that keeps dignity intact. We also show how to correct privately, praise publicly, and offer do-overs in the moment so practice becomes habit. The payoff is long-term: better friendships, steadier relationships, stronger leadership, and real traction at school, work, and faith communities. Technical skill may open doors, but social skill keeps them open.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402

We take a clear, practical look at social skills as a learnable toolkit—social awareness, self-awareness, emotional regulation, impulse control, adaptability, and communication—then show how to build each piece with modeling and step-by-step coaching. Rather than vague advice like “be respectful,” we translate key moments into repeatable actions: greet with eye contact and a steady voice, accept feedback without bristling, follow instructions with a simple four-step loop, and even disagree the right way with timing, tone, and repair.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402
