Is your response to your teen's emotions helping—or hurting—the situation?

How to tell the differenceWhy emotional regulation starts with you, not your teenThe impact of post-COVID loneliness on teen behaviorFriendship drama and social conflict—why it's normal and how to guide without rescuingHow to talk about social media without making your teen defensiveRebuilding trust after big blow-ups or boundary-crossingSmall daily practices to ease tension and build emotional safetyAbout Sheri GazittSheri Gazitt is a certified teen life coach, parenting educator, and founder of Teen Wise, an organization dedicated to empowering teens and supporting parents through the challenges of adolescence.

During a visit to the Gulf in May, US President Donald Trump made a surprise announcement that he would revoke sanctions on Syria. This week, he kept that promise. He signed an executive order on Monday to waive or review penalties, some of which have been in place for decades. The move comes as a relief for struggling Syrians after almost 14 years of a brutal civil war that has devastated their economy. For their transitional leader Ahmad Al Shara, it's a milestone that could give him the legitimacy that he and his Hayat Tahrir Al Sham-led government so desperately seek. But it also brings him new and complicated challenges. “President Trump wants Syria to succeed – but not at the expense of US interests,” the White House said, while establishing ties with Israel would be a priority. The question is, what pressures could this impose on the new Damascus government? In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, guest host Ban Barkawi looks at US interests in Syria and the fine line Mr Al Shara will have to walk to keep his people and the West happy. She speaks to Jihan Abdalla, The National's senior correspondent in Washington, and Omar Dahi, director at Security in Context. Editor's Note: We want to hear from you!

US equities were higher this week as the S&P 500 broke a streak of two-straight weekly declines. Easing geopolitical tensions and trade updates were a key tailwind this week. However, the reconciliation bill remains a key market overhang.

From the BBC World Service: In good news for Japanese consumers, rice prices have fallen to their lowest level in two months. That's after a shortage of the country's staple food, caused by a poor harvest and increased tourist demand. Then, Zimbabwe has moved forward with compensation payments to white farmers whose land was seized during a controversial land reform program more than 20 years ago. And, business leaders are in China for the country's annual economic forum.

Guilt and shame are emotions that ideally can help us take stock, take responsibility, and do better going forward. Beating ourselves up mercilessly, however, only perpetuates feelings of guilt and shame and gets in the way of growing. In this episode, psychologist Traci Stein discusses the reasons why so many people feel stuck under the weight of extreme guilt and self-blame, and how embracing forgiveness can help us free ourselves to move forward with greater compassion for ourselves and others.

This video shares an in production use case of an automation with well designed workflow, that overcomes many of the challenges faced by back-office operations in health care. The automation was carried out by Saint Peter's University Hospital, a teaching hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey, with technology and collaboration from Amitech.Meghan Mehlberg, Vice President of Delivery at Amitech, and Michele Goodman, Practice Administrator for the Women's Health Center at Saint Peter's University Hospital, discuss the target of the automation—a large form required by the state of New Jersey called the Perinatal Risk Assessment (PRA)—the barriers the companies overcame to automate filling out the form, and the resulting benefits.The PRA tracks pregnant patients' clinical, environmental, and psychosocial factors that might indicate a need for special intervention; the aforementioned website says it is "for identifying high risk patients to ensure appropriate care management." The form has grown to 350 fields, some mandatory and others optional which has become quite the burden for staff to complete.Learn more about Amitech: https://amitechsolutions.com/Health IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

Mimi is here to help you slow down, reflect, and make your multilingual journey feel more sustainable, intuitive, and connected — for your child, and for yourself.Why the emotional side of multilingual parenting often goes unspoken — but affects everythingCommon stresses like “Am I doing enough?”, guilt, comparison, and fear of doing it "wrong"The difference between mindfulness and intentionality — and how both can guide your language choicesPractical ways to release the pressure and reconnect with your whyHow to build flexible routines that evolve with your familyWhy perfection is a myth — and presence is what really mattersYou'll walk away with gentle encouragement, actionable strategies, and permission to let go of the “shoulds” that aren't serving you.Mindfulness is about tuning into the present moment and noticing what truly engages your child.Intentionality follows mindfulness — it's the conscious choices you make based on what works for your family.Your language plan is a living document — flexibility is not failure. It's growth.You don't need to do more — just connect to what matters most.Take one minute today to pause and ask:“What's one small way I can show up with more ease and intention this week?”Write it down, say it out loud, or text it to a friend.

Medical Social Workers are on the frontlines of patient care—navigating not only complex health situations but also emotional, financial, and social struggles. Yet, after each patient conversation, they face another demanding task: translating these deeply personal stories into clinical documentation. With heavy caseloads and a growing admin burden, burnout is becoming an all-too-common reality. In this episode, Lynlee Foo speaks with Caleb Chiam, Senior Software Engineer at Open Government Products and the tech lead behind Scribe—a digital tool designed to reduce the documentation burden for social workers. Caleb shares how Scribe uses technology to streamline note-taking, freeing up social workers to spend more time where it matters most: with their patients. Tune in to learn how one innovation is helping heal the healers, and why rethinking paperwork could transform the future of care.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It Took Cupid's ArmyCan I woo the girl who knows my embarrassing childhood?Based on a post by Mac G. Listen to the podcast at Connected.Even though it is right in front of you, you don't always see what's good for you. Sometimes you need a little nudge. This is about a couple of mine.When I was five, Jenny's family moved in directly across the street from us. Our families became good friends right away. Due to the fact that there was nobody else our age living nearby (Jenny is three months older than I am), we soon became inseparable.She had no trouble keeping up with me in the rough and tumble things I wanted to do, and I had no problems playing house with her when she wanted. One of our parents always had to shoo us home at night because we would never think about it ourselves. I once tried to get my parents to let Jenny spend the night, but they said it was not right for girls to spend the night with boys.Although I missed it at the time, the first indication that Jenny and I would end up together came when we were fourteen. I was over at her house watching TV with her and her dad. As we sat there, the doorbell rang. Jenny got up to answer it. She came back a moment later followed by a policeman."Mr. Adams," he said, "I'm afraid I have some bad news."Jenny's dad got up to stand next to her. I stood a few feet behind them."I'm really sorry to say that there has been an accident. A drunk ran a red light and hit your wife's car," the policeman stated."What! When? Where? How is she?" Mr. Adams asked."The paramedics did their best, but I'm afraid she didn't make it. I am truly sorry."At this point, Jenny turned around and looked at me, tears pouring from her eyes. She ran to me, buried her head in my shoulder and sobbed. I guided her to the couch and sat her down. Holding her gently, I let her cry herself out, trying to soothe her as best as I could.After about fifteen minutes, Mr. Adams finished up with the policeman and came over to sit next to us. Jenny had calmed down a little and was just crying lightly. He took Jenny in his arms and held her. I got up and called my parents telling them what had happened. They both came right over.After a lot of consoling and grief, Dad left with Mr. Adams to tend to the body while Mom stayed with Jenny and I. Mom told me later how proud she was of me and for handling the situation and comforting Jenny so well. Years later, Mr. Adams said he'd kill me if I told Jenny, but that it hurt a little when Jenny turned to me, instead of him, for comfort upon hearing the news about her mom.The First NudgeI have always thought differently about Jenny than anyone else. Even during those awkward adolescent times all boys go through in which girls are gross and have cooties, I never felt that way about Jenny. It was like my mind thought, 'That's not a girl, that's Jenny'. The trouble was that as I grew into a teenager and began to notice girls, it was the same thing; I didn't realize just how beautiful Jenny was becoming.Ironically, it was on a date with someone else in the summer between our Junior and Senior years that her beauty was pointed out to me. We had been having a great time: Dinner, movie, and ice cream afterwards. It was close to time to take my date home."Anne, can I ask you a question?" I asked."Sure, what's up?""Well, when I asked you out, you seemed a little surprised. Pleased, but surprised. I got the same response from Sarah Jansen last month, and I was wondering if it was true you were surprised, and if so, why?"Anne smiled and hesitated a moment before answering."Yes, it's true I was a little surprised and I'm sure Sarah was as well. The reason is we keep expecting you two knuckleheads to wake up and see what a good thing you've got.""Knuckleheads? What two knuckleheads?" I asked."Okay, it looks like it's up to me to straighten you out, although I really shouldn't," she sighed. "I'm going to do this in a roundabout way. I'm going to ask you a bunch of questions. Some of them may seem silly, and some might be embarrassing, but I need you to trust me and answer them all honestly.""Okay, I'll try.""Good. Now first question: Do you think I'm pretty?""Of course I do. Most guys in school do.""Thank you," she said, blushing a little, "Now, I know all guys have different ideas about the ideal woman, but am I your ideal? Be honest.""No, you're not." I said a little chagrinned."Hey, don't worry about it. I asked for honesty. I'm somebody's ideal and I'll find them one day. Let's concentrate on your ideal woman. I'll say an attribute and you tell me what you like. You okay with this?""I guess.""Ok, height?""Your height, perhaps a little taller.""Hair?""Red, long and straight.""Longer than my shoulder length?" Anne asked."Yes.""Eyes?""Green.""Mouth?""Don't know. Never thought about that.""Not a problem. Now, don't get embarrassed, but look at my tits."I couldn't help it, I turned crimson, but I looked briefly. She had very nice tits."That's what I like about you, Tony; even with permission you don't ogle at a girl's chest. Most guys would be glued there right now. Ok, what would you change?""Nothing, I really like your tits," I said, turning even redder, if that were possible."Thanks, so do I. There's definitely something there to attract attention, but not too much. What about the butt? Do you like big butts?""Not really.""What about legs?""Long, with a good muscle structure.""Great. Now, here is what you just told me is your ideal woman; 5'9" or 5'10" tall, long, straight red hair, green eyes, an athletic build, long muscular legs leading up to a nice tight butt. Is that an accurate description?""Yes, that would be correct.""And you still don't see it do you?""I guess not. See what?""You just perfectly described Jenny Adams."I sat there for a moment. She was right of course, but I had never made the connection."Did you know that most guys think Jenny is the best looking girl in school? Many also think you are an idiot for not dating her. You've been best friends for so long you two cannot see it any other way. You should start looking at Jenny as the beautiful woman she is. With the great friendship you've already built, you two would make a perfect couple. Think about it, you dope," Anne ordered with a grin."I will, I promise," I said. "Now, I'd better get you home before your dad sends out the posse."I drove her home in silence. When I walked her to the door, I said, "Thanks a lot for telling me that, Anne. I guess it's true it's sometimes hard to see what is right in front of your nose.""You're welcome. I'm sure you two will be very happy together. Now, I don't usually do this on a first date, but as I'm pretty sure I've just ensured there won't be a second one, kiss me good night.""Gladly."I leaned forward and gave her a gentle kiss. She was having none of that. Throwing her arms around my neck she pulled me in for a nice, hard kiss. It seemed to last forever, breaking only when we ran out of air."Thanks, that's just what I wanted," she said smiling. "Now, go get her, Tiger!" With that, she turned and went inside.It's a good thing the route home was so familiar, as I was not paying too much attention to where I was going; I was thinking about Jenny. She was beautiful. She was also a great person. She was funny and fun to be around; kind to everyone; caring with genuine compassion; helpful whenever you needed her. She had so many wonderful qualities that it's hard to think of them all.Two days later, Jenny was over at my house watching TV. As the movie ended, she turned to me, saying, "Okay, Tony, what's up? You've been quiet all day and you've been giving me some funny looks."I hesitated before answering, unsure as to how to answer. I was really nervous about how this would go. I took a deep breath."Jenny, will you go out with me on Friday?" I asked her."Sure, we can get together and...""No, please, that's not what I mean. I don't want to just get together; I want to go on a date, a real date."She looked at me with her eyebrows raised. I could see the wonder in her eyes."Look, Jenny, I know we've been friends for a long time, you've always been my best friend, but lately I've been seeing you in a different light. I've always known you were pretty, but I'm starting to see just how beautiful you really are. I've always known you were a girl, but now I'm seeing you as a woman. We're friends but I'd like to see if maybe we could be more."She sat there, deep in thought. I waited for her to decide.After several minutes I added, "I know this is sudden. You don't have to answer now if you want to think about it for a while. Don't be afraid to say no. Nothing will change if you say no."She smiled at me and said, "I don't need to wait. Of course I'll go on a date with you. I just wasn't expecting it. What brought this about?""I'll tell you, I promise, but not right now. What time do you want to start?""Um, I'll let you know.""Fine. Want a Coke?""Sure."I went a got one for each of us. We watched some more TV, neither one of us talking much. When she left to go home, she paused at the door and gave me a long look, smiling slightly.The rest of the week seemed to last forever. Jenny must have said something to her dad, and he spoke to my parents, because on Wednesday evening Mom came into my room, announcing, "Let me know what you plan on wearing for your big date Friday, and I'll make sure it's clean and nicely pressed.""Okay, Mom, thanks. I'm not sure...wait, how did you know about Friday?""Moms just know," she said, grinning. "If there's anything else I can do for you, let me know."When Friday came, I had still not told her what I wanted to wear, having changed my mind several times. I went out in the afternoon to get a haircut. When I got back home, there was a brand new outfit laying on my bed waiting. It was perfect. As I was getting ready, my dad came in my room."Here, try some of this," he said, handing me a bottle of cologne. "It's a very popular scent.""Thanks, Dad.""Also, a good date needs a good ride. Take my car tonight."I was stunned. Dad rarely let's anyone drive his car. He had saved for years to afford it. "Are you sure?" I asked."Yes, I'm sure. I got it cleaned up nicely today and it's got a full tank of gas. Enjoy yourself.""Wow, thanks, Dad! You're awesome."When the time came, I walked across to her house and knocked. Mr. Adams answered."Come on in Tony, she'll be right down. Where are you going tonight?" he asked."I made a reservation at that new Italian place south of the mall. After that, we'll just see. Probably a movie later on," I answered.We heard the sound of Jenny coming down the stairs. I turned to see her and was stunned. She was wearing a light green sun dress that stopped just above her knees. Her legs looked great, tapering to a pair of strappy sandals with a 2½-inch heel. Her red hair cascaded down over the front of her shoulders, framing her face nicely. Jenny's eyes were sparkling and she was grinning from ear to ear.I walked up to her as she got to the bottom of the stairs."I've never seen you look more beautiful," I said.She blushed a little and said, "Thanks, you look great, too."We walked back to her dad."Have fun tonight you two," he said. "I've talked to your parents, Tony, and for tonight, and tonight only, there is no curfew for you two - just don't push it too far.""We won't, Mr. Adams, I promise," I said.We walked across the street to the car. Jenny's eyes got huge when she saw we were heading to Dad's car. We drove to the restaurant in an awkward silence. As we were waiting for the table, I reached out and took her hand in mine. I wasn't sure if it was a good idea, as I figured she could feel that my heart was beating about 200 times a minute. Jenny just smiled at me and squeezed it gently.Dinner went well. The talking started slow, but we loosened up some as things went on. By the end I think I had my heart down to about 150.

China's price levels remained subdued in May, leaving ample room for further monetary easing and robust fiscal stimulus in the remainder of the year, analysts said on Monday.分析人士周一表示，中国5月份物价水平保持低位，为今年剩余时间进一步放松货币政策和实施强劲财政刺激措施留下了充足的空间。They said more policy support is needed to shore up demand in the world's second-largest economy, as policymakers navigate a more complicated and challenging external environment amid trade tensions with the United States.他们表示，在与美国贸易紧张局势加剧的背景下，决策者需要更多政策支持来提振全球第二大经济体的需求，因为政策制定者正在应对更加复杂和具有挑战性的外部环境。Their comments came as data released by the National Bureau of Statistics showed that the country's consumer price index, the main gauge of inflation, fell by 0.1 percent year-on-year in May, the same as in the previous month.他们发表上述言论之际，国家统计局发布的数据显示，5月份，作为通胀主要衡量指标的中国居民消费价格指数（CPI）同比下降0.1%，与上月持平。Wen Bin, chief economist at China Minsheng Bank, linked the subdued consumer prices to seasonal factors and a decline in oil prices, while noting the improvement in core CPI, suggesting the resilience of the domestic economy.中国民生银行首席经济学家温彬将CPI低迷归因于季节性因素和油价下跌，同时指出核心CPI的改善表明国内经济具有韧性。The core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices and is deemed a better gauge of the demand-supply relationship, increased 0.6 percent year-on-year in May, up from a 0.5 percent rise in April, NBS data showed.国家统计局数据显示，剔除食品和能源价格的核心CPI同比上涨0.6%，较4月份的0.5%进一步回升，被视为衡量供需关系的更优指标。On factory-gate prices, Wen said the decline reflected ongoing imported price pressures. "Although risk appetite increased early in the month due to favorable progress in US-China talks, with a slight rebound in commodity prices, excluding gold, commodity prices later dropped again as tariff threats resurfaced," he said.关于出厂价格，温彬表示，CPI的下降反映了持续的进口价格压力。他表示：“尽管本月初受中美贸易谈判取得积极进展的影响，风险偏好有所回升，除黄金以外的大宗商品价格略有反弹，但随着关税威胁再次浮现，大宗商品价格随后再次下跌。”China's producer price index, which gauges factory-gate prices, dropped by 3.3 percent year-on-year in May, widening from a 2.7 percent fall in April, the NBS said.国家统计局表示，衡量出厂价格的中国5月份生产者价格指数（PPI）同比下降3.3%，降幅较4月份2.7%的降幅有所扩大。Looking ahead, Wen said he expects CPI to rebound modestly but remain low in the near term, saying supportive macroeconomic policies would bolster core CPI growth.展望未来，温彬表示，他预计CPI将小幅反弹，但短期内仍将维持低位，并表示支持性的宏观经济政策将支撑核心CPI的增长。"A combination of incremental and existing policy measures are working in tandem to improve the supply-demand structure, which will support prices in relevant sectors. Increased travel demand during the summer will also drive up service prices."“增量与存量政策工具协同发力，将改善供需结构，对相关行业价格形成支撑。暑期出行需求上升也将带动服务类价格上涨。”As for PPI, Wen said conditions may gradually improve, though a return to positive territory will take time.关于PPI，温彬认为，尽管整体环境或将逐步改善，但短期内难以迅速转正。Considering base effects and current trends in consumer goods, energy, and industrial prices, Feng Lin, executive director of the research and development department at Golden Credit Rating International, said she expects consumer prices to remain flat in June, with the year-on-year drop in PPI likely staying around 3.3 percent.东方金诚国际信用评估有限公司研究发展部执行总监冯琳预计，考虑到基数效应以及当前消费品、能源和工业品价格走势，预计6月份CPI环比持平，PPI同比降幅仍将维持在3.3%左右。"With overall prices staying at low levels, promoting a reasonable rebound in prices will become an important macro policy goal in the second half of the year," she said. "This also opens up room for more proactive fiscal policies to boost consumption and investment, as well as further interest rate cuts by the central bank."她表示：“在物价总体处于低位运行的背景下，推动物价合理回升将成为下半年宏观政策的重要目标。这也为央行进一步采取更积极的财政政策刺激消费和投资，以及进一步降息提供了空间。”Yuan Haixia, dean of the research institute at rating agency CCXI, said that China continues to face a complex and challenging external environment while domestic cyclical and structural economic issues remain intertwined.中诚信国际研究院院长袁海霞表示，中国外部环境依然复杂严峻，国内经济周期性问题和结构性问题依然交织。While production remains relatively strong, domestic demand is only marginally improving and still weak overall as shown by subdued price levels, despite resilient external demand, Yuan said. "Policymakers should take advantage of the current policy window and intensify countercyclical measures in the short term."袁海霞表示，尽管生产保持相对强劲，但国内需求仅略有改善，整体来看仍然疲软，价格水平低迷是其主要表现，而外部需求保持韧性。“政策制定者应抓住当前政策窗口，短期内加大逆周期调节力度。”Yuan said that there is still scope for one to two more cuts in the reserve requirement ratio and interest rates during the remainder of the year, given the country's relatively high real interest rates amid low inflation and its ample policy space compared to economies like the United States and Japan.袁海霞表示，考虑到当前实际利率偏高、通胀较低，同时与美日等国相比，我国政策空间仍较为充裕，年内仍有1至2次降准降息的空间。On the fiscal front, stronger central government fiscal support is needed to expand domestic demand while around 1 trillion yuan ($139.22 billion) in additional fiscal funding could be introduced at a proper time to stabilize growth and improve expectations, she said.她表示，在财政方面，中央政府需要加大财政支持力度，扩大内需，同时可以适时新增约1万亿元人民币（约合1392.2亿美元）的财政资金，以稳定增长并改善预期。Yuan added that a balanced approach to encourage both consumption and investment is needed. Measures could include short-term cash subsidies, midterm tax reforms, and long-term improvements in income distribution to boost consumption. In parallel, investment priority should shift from physical infrastructure toward human capital, with a focus on raising investment efficiency.袁海霞补充说，需要采取均衡的政策措施，鼓励消费和投资。措施可能包括短期现金补贴、中期税制改革以及长期改善收入分配以刺激消费。同时，投资重点应从物质基础设施转向人力资本，并注重提高投资效率。stimulus/ˈstɪmjələs/n.刺激（措施）；促进因素resilience/rɪˈzɪliəns/n.韧性；恢复力countercyclical/ˌkaʊntərˈsɪklɪkəl/adj.逆周期的gauge/ɡeɪdʒ/n.指标；标准；衡量工具

Are the Rangers asking too much of their stellar pitching staff?

Eric Sterner joins Caroline Woods at the NYSE to explain his bullish stance on the market. He says investors need to get past this "cloud of uncertainty" surrounding tariff volatility. He doesn't see a recession this year citing a strong labor market and recent hard data including retail sales. Eric says he'd get more defensive if there is no trade agreement in place by mid-July with China or the E.U. He likes high-yield bonds and the Communications Services sector for current plays in the market.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Last week's announcement by President Donald Trump on lifting US sanctions on Syria seemed to have a refreshing effect for a country that has been reeling from political divisions and economic turmoil. This week, the European Union followed, lifting all economic restrictions in a major diplomatic shift aimed at supporting Syria's reconstruction and fragile peace. The news has been accompanied by more breakthroughs: the World Bank cleared Syria's $15.5 million debt, paid off by Saudi Arabia and Qatar. On the ground, the interim government led by President Ahmed Al Shara, a former HTS leader, is scrambling to unify rebel factions, “eradicate” remnants of ISIS, and bring the country under one flag. The challenges are far from over. Sectarian violence continues to plague minority communities, some Kurdish groups are demanding autonomy, and Israeli airstrikes persist along the southern border. Al Shara, once designated a terrorist by the West, is now lobbying for international legitimacy. So what does the lifting of sanctions really mean? And can Syria be unified? In this week's Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher looks at the significance of the US and European decisions and the challenges faced by the Syrian leader in his efforts to unite the country.

Happy Monday! Today, we're talking about how to combat teacher overwhelm. In this episode, Lisa is joined by Jayme (from the school pilot) and Anna (a member of the Organize 365 team) to talk all about why teachers are feeling so stressed and what can be done to help support educators.  Support for Teachers Some of the resources we found address ways to support teachers who feel overwhelmed by all of the demands of the education field. Some of the ways to support teachers include reducing or streamlining the number of administrative tasks teachers are burdened with, as well as helping teachers get organized. These are all things that we offer inside the The Teacher Workbox system and that will be addressed in Teacher Planning Day this summer.  At Organize 365, we built the Teacher Workbox as a means to support teachers in the administrative side of their job. Teachers receive training in their preparation program on lesson planning, classroom management, and lesson design. We step in to help provide teachers with an organizational system to manage their time and streamline as many tasks as possible.  A Sense of Community Peer support helps ease feelings of teacher overwhelm, and we love that we can offer the supportive community of educators inside the Organize 365 Community App. This is where teachers have the opportunity to share ideas, ask questions, and learn from one another.  Teacher Camp is a live opportunity for teachers and other educators to get to know one another and work in collaboration as we set up our Teacher Workboxes for the coming school year.  How Much Time Are You Wasting? At the end of the episode, both Jayme and Anna confess to having made their own Sunday Basket before purchasing the actual Sunday Basket from Organize 365. They share how much time and money was wasted trying to create a perfect system, when the supplies they really needed were already available through Organize 365. They also reveal how no system they could create on their own was able to support them in the ways they needed because the do-it-yourself system did not come with a course, online community, or Sunday Basket Club that are needed to truly understand how the system works. If you are thinking of going this route, how much time and money are you willing to waste?  EPISODE RESOURCES: Gallup's State of the Schools Report: Insights to Inform Higher Education adn K-12 Leaders 2023 Teacher Shortages: What to Know About Vacancies In Your Region Prioritizing Teachers' Mental Health The Best Benefits You Can Give Educators: Easing Their Mental Load A Dwindling Number of New U.S. College Graduates Have a Degree in Education 2024 Teacher Shortage Statistics Show We Still Have a Long Way to Go Nguyen, T.
