She's back for the second time!!!! Your favorite Crunchy Mom is here to talk all things sugar, screens, shoes, and slowing it down. We're tackling the challenges of judgment in the crunchy lifestyle space, the art of being unoffensive and un-offendable, and the misconception that life is a competition for making healthier choices. Explore the idea that embracing the crunchy spectrum is about balance, not perfection, and debunk the myth that it's exclusive to a certain income bracket. From tackling feelings of inadequacy to breaking free from the fear of food, Emily provides genuine advice for modern parents. The discussion extends to the impact of sugar and screens on children, emphasizing the need to slow down, foster creativity, and find satisfaction in simple, slow-paced activities. Tune in for a refreshing perspective on living a balanced, intentional life in today's fast-paced world. ** Get your copy of Really Very Crunchy here >> https://amzn.to/49PPW4o Learn more about Emily here >> https://www.reallyverycrunchy.com/ ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.

Defining problems is a valuable skill that can change how we face challenges. The need to peel back the layers is to find not just symptoms but the real problems and conflicting interests. When you're up against a tough problem, remember to stop, break it down, and clearly define it—it might be the key to finding innovative solutions and overcoming difficulties. Emily and Jason Morrow share their life experiences, lessons, and advice to future leaders. A clear definition of problems is the compass that guides effective problem-solving journeys toward sustainable solutions. Tune in as young leaders ask questions about life, personal growth, entrepreneurship, and more! Quotes: "When I first started learning more about the holistic lifestyle, I felt judged in many ways. Some of it could have been self-imposed, but there were definitely times when I knew I was being judged." - Emily Morrow "You don't have to be perfect. That's one thing for sure. I'm the type of person that tends to be extreme. It's all or nothing for me." - Emily Morrow "I have mixed feelings about this, but ever since I was a little kid, my dad always instilled in me that I could be anything I wanted to be when I grew up." - Jason Morrow Takeaways: Start making small changes to improve health habits, such as diet or lifestyle, instead of changing everything at once. Grow your curiosity and learn from experiences such as living in a different country or taking up new hobbies rather than feeling judged for not knowing everything. Build self-discipline by committing to regular creative projects and using deadlines to motivate yourself. Value family time and positive communication by sharing achievements rather than focusing on criticism in daily routines. Take risks by moving out of your comfort zone through adventures, changing careers, or learning about new subjects. Cultivate your unique voice and abilities by learning from what you enjoy instead of imitating others. Rely on a supportive partner and hold each other responsible during challenging times by sharing similar values. Conclusion: Old wisdom encourages us to look deeper and understand the real causes of our struggles. By spending time on focused learning, we discover our natural talents and interests, which gives us clear direction in life. Even when things are tough, curiosity leads to a satisfying life that aligns with our deepest interests and goals.

In our biennial Kids & Family Reading Report, we came across some findings that were a bit, well, concerning: At nine years old — usually when a child is in third grade — kids across the board report a significantly reduced interest in reading. Here are some of the stats: 57% of 8-year-olds said they read books for fun 5 to 7 days a week. But by age 9, that drops to a mere 35%. 40% of 8-year-olds say they love to read. By age 9, only 28% say that. We find similar decreases in the numbers around access to books (more 6- to 8-year-olds have a classroom library than 9- to 11-year-olds) and the presence of reading role models (more 6- to 8-year-olds say they have people in their lives who enjoy reading than 9- to 11-year-olds). Additionally, nearly half of 9-year-olds say they have trouble finding books they like. What's causing the "decline by nine"? And what can we do about it? We talked with education and reading experts to find out.

There are many ways to create a book desert — an area where a child has little or no access to books. Maybe a school's budget cuts lead to closure of the library. Maybe a neighborhood bookstore closes. Maybe the closest public library is too far away to reach by public transportation. Whatever the cause, the problem is clear: Too many children in the U.S. lack access to books. This week, we're talking with literacy advocates Donalyn Miller and Colby Sharp about how crucial access is. It's a topic they address in their new book for K-8 educators, Game Changer! Donalyn and Colby discuss how access to a wide variety of texts, choice in what to read, and time to read are “game changers” for the lives of all children, enhancing academic achievement while shaping kids' understanding of themselves and their world. They also offer practical ways that educators and families can make small changes that can enrich their readers' lives in major ways. Additional resources: Learn more about Game Changer!
