We know sex assigned at birth and gender identity are two different things. In toddlers, the idea of gender identity can be very fluid, but generally around age 5 or 6, most children are rigid about gender and preferences often due to social pressures and other factors.The number of young people in the United States now openly identifying as a gender different from the one they were assigned at birth is surging amid growing recognition of transgender identity and rights, awareness, and acceptance. In this episode, Erica Peterson shares her experience raising her transgender daughter, Finn, including:- when she noticed Finn expressed a gender identity that was different than the one assigned at birth- how she and her husband processed the new identity and supported Finn- how family and friends reacted to the news, including Erica's grandmother Helen's reaction- the important role of allies- how she found gender affirming care- what surprised her the most navigating the changes- the advice she would give others with a child questioning their gender identity This is a deeply personal and inspiring story and we are so thankful to Erica for sharing her experience, perspective, and big heart with us.

Before the pandemic, about 8 million U.S. students were considered chronically absent during the school year. Now, that number has doubled. Students who are chronically absent often have lower test scores, fall behind, or even drop out at higher rates than others. Which students are most affected by chronic absenteeism? What can parents and schools do to help them? And, with other problems like graduation rates and teacher shortages, can absenteeism be fixed? Erica Peterson is the national education manager for School Innovations & Achievement. She discusses the importance of attending school and how this issue can help us reimagine our current school systems.

Here are more stats on eclosing and RON usage. Erica says cybersecurity and fraud concerns dropped 20 percent from last year's report. She says this was mostly due to better security protocols and education along with rising concerns about the housing market. This article details some more of those concerns. Data from the report shows the number of mergers and acquisitions are continually rising. Partnerships have doubled within the last five years.Around half of those surveyed said they expect more regulatory scrutiny from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau AND the state.During the pandemic, many businesses started implementing temporary remote online notarizations (RONs), however, they are now becoming a standard practice, depending on states' permissions.

When you think about the small but impactful acts of kindness others have shown you, do you also reflect on the kindness *you* have shown others? It might be humbling to admit, but ways YOU have reached out have made a big difference to others as well. I claim that with confidence because today on the podcast, I'm talking about how to change someone's life and sharing a story of a simple handshake and how it changed the life of someone I know. This episode is an excerpt from a guest interview that I did on the podcast Becoming for Teens with co-hosts Erica Peterson and Tawni Beardall (our guests from last week's episode, Overcoming Your Inner Teen). This special story from my life seemed like a great followup to Teen Month, but this episode isn't just for parents! Will you do me a favor and listen to this with your teen? (Or preteen!) From my experience befriending Brian and shaking his hand, I learned: Look around and notice. When you're in a group of people, stop for a second. Then scan the room and ask yourself: Is there somebody here who could use a little friendship right now? Initiate that first gesture, even if it's scary or forced. A really small act of kindness is enough. Show Notes: Instagram: @becoming_for_teens Website: Becoming For Teens -ARIZONA, I’m coming your way!

As a teen, did you ever find yourself giving up parts of who you were in order to fit in and feel accepted? Would you be able to admit, or even recognize, if you were still doing that as a mom? In this phase of our lives, we aren't always put in peer pressure situations where our values are directly questioned by others, but managing our own expectations of who we think we "should" be and comparing our family to other families creates walls that limit us. Tawni Beardall and Erica Peterson are the co-hosts of a podcast for teens called Becoming. Tawni and Erica have become my real-life friends, and they hosted my first-ever Declutter Your Motherhood workshop. I absolutely love these ladies, and am so grateful for the work they are doing. In this episode, they point out three ways that we are a lot like the teenagers in our lives and give suggestions for how we can "overcome our inner teen": Have a threshold of zero. Do what is right (and right for you) no matter how many people are doing something different. Do work. We resist hard work for ourselves AND for our kids. And as human beings, we truly need the blessings of work. Make and keep friends. Our need for close friendships does not end after high school! Prioritize it, put yourself out there, and use people's names.

Abbey Rennemeyer interviews Erica Peterson, the founder of Moms Can: Code and Science Tots, and Founder Gym alumna. Erica started her career in biology, but after being told that she should leave her graduate program once she became pregnant with her first child, she started to look for other options. Three years ago, inspired by her desire to understand how her children were learning, she founded Science Tots, a non-profit that helps introduce children to the world of STEM. And just over a year ago, Erica founded Moms Can: Code, an organization that helps mothers learn to code so they can both support their children's learning and open new doors for themselves. In 2018, Erica has been a South By Southwest accelerator pitch finalist, Project Entrepreneur finalist, and Startup of the Year semifinalist - so it's been a busy year for her! Erica is extremely active in her local community, and spends a great deal of her time helping people learn. Today, she'll tell us all about how she got into the tech world, how and why she became a founder, and why being a mom who codes is so awesome.
