Turning every child into a reader: The Book Dash story with Dorette Louw by Radio Islam

Send us a textWe explore the importance of planting patience as a character trait in our children through both teaching and modeling this crucial skill. As mentors to our children, we must recognize they learn more from watching our behavior than from our verbal corrections, making our own patience practice essential for their development.• Children observe and mimic our behaviors, including impatience and hasty decision-making• Patience is the capacity to accept delays without becoming annoyed or anxious• The "microwave mentality" often leads to poor decisions and regret• Practice listing wants/needs with timeframes to identify patience challenges• Consider whether immediate desires (like relationships or job changes) are truly beneficial• Learning to accept "blocks" as blessings can prevent repeated mistakes• Taking 24 hours before making important decisions helps cultivate patience• Parents must actively teach life skills, not just correct behaviorsTell another single mom about this podcast to help spread the message of intentional parenting and mentoring.https://singlemomsunitedpodcast.com/It's not how you arrived at the title, but what you do with it.

A new MP3 sermon from VCY America is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Every Child, Every Nation, Every Day Subtitle: Crosstalk America Speaker: Jim Schneider Broadcaster: VCY America Event: Current Events Date: 8/28/2025 Length: 53 min.

Fred Pry is Vice President of Administration for Child Evangelism Fellowship, an international, nonprofit, Christian ministry that is dedicated to see every child reached with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, discipled and established in a local church. Sadly, every 47 seconds, a child is abused or neglected. Also, every 3 hours and 33 minutes a child or teen ends their own life as suicide is the 8th leading cause of death among children ages 5-11. What is bringing such desperation to the lives of some children? Fred pointed to the loss of hope and the influences of the world that provide hollow answers that don't last. There's also the issue of social media. Fred indicated that 40% of children ages 8-12 use social media. This means that these children are impacted by peer pressure, the messages claiming they deserve certain things or that they should look or act in a certain way. Worse yet is the fact that social media can become an addiction and in the end, when the world doesn't deliver, anxiety and depression can set in. As a response, in partnership with local churches, Child Evangelism Fellowship offers its Good News Clubs. Fred described these as one day a week, high powered Sunday schools that meet throughout the school year. While there are over 4,000 such clubs in the U.S. operating in public schools, there are over 70,000 public elementary schools in the U.S. This means your help is needed so that many more children will hear the Gospel. As Jim noted, if we don't reach children, the world's system will.

In the early hours of Tuesday 27th of August 2019, in an unnamed flat on Woking Close, 15-month old Jacob Lennon was lying in his cot and dreaming innocent dreams.

Send us a textThis week's guest is Kim Botto, a longtime children's and student ministry leader, TBRI® Practitioner, and all-around passionate advocate for kids who don't always fit the mold. She's spent decades creating spaces where every child—regardless of background, behavior, or ability—can belong, contribute, and grow.Kim and I talked about what happens when places like school or church aren't safe or supportive—especially for kids with trauma, disabilities, or neurodivergence. She shared the idea of “connection before correction,” and reminded me that we don't need a diagnosis to lead with compassion.We also got real about what it takes to build a culture of belonging—and how sometimes it starts with something as small (and powerful) as a strip of red tape.Kim is the author of Boundless Hope for Every Child and hosts The Every Child Belongs podcast.

Kim shares personal stories, practical strategies, and a powerful vision for inclusive ministry that starts with relationship and empathy.Find the full show-notes here: www.keyministry.org/podcast/

This episode is a don't-miss for all. Kim is passionate about all kids belonging, particularly in church settings. But Kim's book and principles apply to all of us, and we ended our time together by saying, “Just be a decent human being.” While this can seem so simple, Kim helps us understand the ways that we don't do this well and how we can do it better, especially with kids and adults who have “invisible disabilities”. Kim talks about how trauma impacts children and their attachment and how neurodivergence affects the brain.  Kim also gives great tips for parents on finding support for themselves as well as finding a good fit with a therapist for their child. Kim encourages us to be curious, to be kind, and to be flexible. Kim's book, Boundless Hope for Every Child, can be found here:  https://www.amazon.com/Boundless-Hope-Every-Child-Misunderstood/dp/B0DY6DD4DY/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1UN3KTWKHSSGZ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.BZrM7D3BKQXhFHXk8tIyF6Ofdilp5qNvisH5bNO0xeLGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps._2EKj8LaRoHuja85mrh0Giy8vo7uzQhXnFafG_md4-  or on her website: https://kimbotto.com/

She tells us the story of how her life changed when William was born, how she learned to trust God in the process, and to see William as an integral part of the Body of Christ. While parenting William, God put a mission on her heart to teach Catholic schools and parishes how to see the inherent value in all of God's children and to create programs that allow children with special needs to thrive with their typically developing children.

Two staunch child advocates, Bruce Lesley of First Focus on Children and Phoebe Boyer of Children's Aid, talk about the detrimental impact of poverty on children and the crucial role of social safety nets and nonprofit organizations in mitigating this harm.“Every aspect of the life of a child is negatively impacted by poverty. It impacts their health, their education, their early childhood, their nutrition, their housing situation, and also abuse and neglect,” Lesley states. “I look at every child that comes into our programs as having incredible potential, and there are all these barriers in their way, and our job is to remove those barriers,” says Boyer. Both guests stress that all of us have a role to play in protecting children against proposed changes and cuts to safety net programs that threaten kids' wellbeing and ability to thrive.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Department of Education announced Tuesday it would lay off around 1,300 employees, or about half of its workforce. In a statement, Education Secretary Linda McMahon called the job cuts part of the agency's 'final mission,' and a 'significant step toward restoring the greatness of the United States education system.' While President Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to shutter the Education Department, McMahon said during her confirmation hearings last month that she wouldn't do so without Congress's approval. The layoffs could signify the administration's intent to gut the agency from within. John King, who served as Education Secretary under former President Barack Obama, talks about how the cuts will almost certainly hurt students. Later in the show, Brian Sumers, who writes 'The Airline Observer' newsletter on Substack, explains why Southwest Airlines is nixing its popular free bag check policy.And in headlines: House Republicans and one Democrat passed a spending plan to avert a government shutdown, Trump administration officials said they would immediately lift a pause on military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine, and President Trump weighed in on the fate of a Columbia University grad student who's facing deportation for organizing pro-Palestine protests on campus.Show Notes:Check out Brian's Substack – www.theairlineobserver.com/Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8Support victims of the fire – votesaveamerica.com/reliefWhat A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
