AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on new guidance on vaccines.

In this episode, I break down the three core needs every child has to feel secure, confident, and connected with their parents: safety, respect, and connection. These are not soft ideas or permissive parenting. They are the foundation of authoritative parenting and the reason kids are more likely to listen, trust, and stay connected to us as they grow. In this episode, I discuss: Why safety, respect, and connection are the foundation of effective parenting The difference between authoritative and authoritarian parenting How emotional safety and predictability build trust Why routines matter more than many parents realize How to set boundaries while still respecting your child Consent, choices, and body autonomy across ages Respectful approaches to meals and picky eating Why public shaming damages confidence and trust The importance of apologizing and repairing Simple ways to build connection without needing more time How these principles reduce power struggles and anxiety Want more?

In this inspiring Parshas Vayechi review, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe highlights Jacob's individualized blessings to each son and grandson—emphasizing uniqueness over uniformity—as a model for parenting and personal growth. No "cookie-cutter" approach: every child has distinct talents to nurture, rejecting worldly "equality" (equal outcomes) for Torah's equal potential.Central focus: the eternal Friday-night blessing "Yisimcha Elokim k'Ephraim v'chi'Menashe"—Ephraim and Menashe, raised in decadent Egypt yet remaining steadfastly Jewish, became exemplars of harmony, resilience, and spiritual elevation despite surroundings. Rabbi Wolbe reveals the deeper charge: to merit such children, parents must emulate Yosef—unwavering commitment, resisting temptation, seeing divine plan in adversity.The episode calls for "intentional Judaism": deliberate steps forward (Shabbos observance, kashrut, relationships) rather than stagnation or excuses. Small, consistent improvements—rejecting complacency—honor our unique potential, transforming challenges into growth. Rabbi Wolbe urges viewing life as ongoing journey, not destination, with Hashem guiding every step._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 2, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on January 2, 2026_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

As parents, our most vital role is not to mold our children into who we think they should be—but to discover who they already are. ✨Each child comes into this world with a unique blend of strengths, talents, and natural curiosities. When we take the time to truly observe, listen, and nurture those gifts, we empower them to thrive—not just academically, but emotionally and creatively.

On this edition of The Mark White Show, I'm talking with Danielle Stradling, Greater Huntsville Ambassador for Cake4Kids. Through this volunteer-driven effort, over 80 local bakers across North Alabama are delivering homemade birthday cakes and sweet treats to children in foster care, transitional housing, and difficult circumstances. Danielle shares how a simple act of kindness, a personalized cake made by a stranger, can remind a child that they are loved, valued, and celebrated.

Parenting isn't just about shaping our kids—it's about shaping us. Through boundaries, consistency, repair, and everyday inconveniences, God uses parenting to expose our hearts, grow our maturity, and form us into people our children can trust. It's messy, humbling, and lifelong—but with Jesus, even our mistakes become part of the work of grace. In this honest conversation, Jamie and Heather reflect on the parenting lessons they've learned (and are still learning).   Show Notes:  In this episode they mention the book The 6 Needs of Every Child by Amy Elizabeth Olrick and Jeffrey Olrick, PH.D.   About Church on the Move: We are a family of churches in northeast Oklahoma. Our mission is to introduce people to the real Jesus. A lot of people know about Jesus but have yet to experience the life-changing power of His grace and truth. Knowing Jesus has transformed our lives, so our goal for each of our worship services, from our kids' environments on up, is to help people know that same love. We actively pursue Jesus in everything we do, and we believe He's given us a vision for a church that is deeply centered on Him and His word.

On this week's episode, Imprint reporter Michael Fitzgerald was in Washington last week to interview Alex Adams, who was confirmed in October to serve as the Assistant Secretary for Family Support at the Administration for Children and Families.Fitzgerald asked Adams about a wide range of subjects. They discussed the administration's goal of “A Home for Every Child” and how Adams plans to achieve that; how and why he plans to "barbecue" much of the regulatory language for states when it comes to federal funding and practice; why the administration has made demands that states roll back policies that are meant to protect LGBTQ+ youth; the role of kinship caregivers; and much more. Thanks to iFoster and Binti for sponsoring this episode of The Imprint Weekly Podcast.Reading RoomIt's Newsmatch season!

This is the time of year when parents are trying to figure out what to buy their children for Christmas. That is, of course, a noble endeavor. In the midst of wanting to provide valuable worldly possessions for your family, please remember the most important gift has already been purchased, and yet you can still give it.No shortage of “stuff” exists in our culture. Video games. Designer clothes. Big-screen televisions. You name it. For those who have the money to readily spend or have the money to save so they can spend during this time of year exists a plethora of opportunities to bring smiles of delight. Those who don't have a ton of money for the latest gadget or expensive items find plenty of reasonably priced gifts that bring happiness to their children.But there's a gift that means more than anything money can buy your child, and it's one we don't always value as we should not just on Christmas, but every day of every year.Parents, the greatest gift you can ever give your child is a relationship with Jesus. Life without Christ is not the life your children—or you—was intended to have. Give them Jesus. Do it by having your own relationship with Him. Do it by teaching them about Him yourself. Do it by taking them to a Bible-believing church who will further teach them. Do it by modeling what it looks like to trust your life with Him by being obedient to Him. Let them hear you talk about Him. Let them hear you talk to Him. Let them realize He wants to talk, too, to those who want to listen. Let them see that the greatest gift of all is the gift of life with Him on earth and eternal life with Him in Heaven. Let them see what it looks like to stand in faith when struggles come. Many young people have no idea how to handle stress or defeat or even questions that arise as they navigate life. What's in a person comes out in the most difficult of times and the best of times also, actually. Much of the mayhem we see around us results from people unprepared for what they will face simply because they exist. God has entrusted mankind as vessels through which children learn what matters, and what matters is to love Jesus and to know they are loved by Jesus, to honor Him. Nothing is more important and more long-lasting.The bottom line is if you've given them everything their hearts desire but haven't shaped their hearts to desire Jesus more than anything, what have you actually given them? Sure, if you can, give them the latest Jordan sneakers, the most powerful electronics, the Louis Vuitton bag (Oh, wait! That's my wish!

I don't have to take care of the needs of my alcoholic father." - Gabor MatéGabor Maté sat across from Lewis and said something most parenting experts won't admit: he hurt his own children. Not through malice or neglect, but through something more insidious—unhealed wounds he didn't even know he carried. He reveals how your stress as a partner affects your child before they're even born, how children absorb their parents' unresolved pain like emotional sponges, and why so many well-intentioned parents end up repeating the very patterns they swore they'd never inflict. But here's what makes this conversation essential: Maté doesn't just diagnose the problem. He breaks down the four irreducible needs every child must have—needs that indigenous societies naturally provided for millennia, but that our modern world systematically denies.This isn't about perfect parenting or having all the answers before your kid arrives. It's about understanding that the work of raising healthy children starts with facing your own shadows first. Maté explains why free play matters more for brain development than any educational program, why children need to rest from the burden of managing adult emotions, and what happens when we give toddlers screens instead of space to be bored, curious, and wildly creative. Whether you're expecting your first child, struggling with teenagers, or trying to make sense of your own upbringing, this conversation illuminates why so many of us feel broken—and what it actually takes to stop that cycle.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Every child—and every person—has a fundamental need to know and believe that God loves them unconditionally. This truth is the foundation for overcoming the fears that grip humanity. God's love is based on His character, not based on our actions.In part three of “Building Strong Families,” Duane Sheriff teaches how unconditional love transforms families and sets children free from fear, insecurity, and the need for approval. He identifies four primary fears that often shape children's lives—the fear of faces (people and rejection), fear of fences (obstacles and hardship), fear of failure, and fear of foes (spiritual enemies)—and explains how God's love conquers each one.Parents and grandparents prepare children for life's challenges by teaching them to forgive themselves when they make mistakes and training them to understand the spiritual battles they face. When we truly grasp the depth of God's love, we realize nothing we do can change how much He loves us. Perfect love casts out all fear.

When tragedy strikes, few people find the strength to turn it into something greater—but that's exactly what Casey McGovern, Executive Director of Every Child a Swimmer, has done. After losing her daughter in a preventable drowning, Casey made a promise to dedicate her life to saving others. Today, that promise has become a powerful movement to make water safety education and swim lessons accessible to every child. In this heartfelt conversation, Casey shares the story behind her mission, the challenges of growing a grassroots program into a national initiative, and the leadership lessons that have guided her along the way. From advocacy and legislation to fundraising and team building, this episode offers nonprofit leaders a rare blend of personal insight and professional wisdom.

As Executive Director of Every Child a Swimmer, a division of the International Swimming Hall of Fame, Casey has dedicated her life to preventing the heartbreak her own family endured. After the loss of her 19-month-old daughter, Em, in a tragic drowning accident, Casey made a promise to turn her pain into purpose. That promise evolved into a mission—first through her work with the Florida Department of Health, and now through Every Child a Swimmer, where she champions legislation, education, and access to swim lessons for families in need. Today, Casey's advocacy reaches across states, communities, and generations. Her leadership is both personal and powerful—a reminder that one mother's determination can transform grief into a movement that saves lives.

Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

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.

Why God Guards Every Child – Born or Unborn: Scripture Reflection for August 12, 2025 by Priests for Life

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. Like every child, he was small, fragile and needed protection from life's dangers. But whereas many children are shielded by the very worst of predators like drunks, junkies and paedophiles, there is one person who is every child's nightmare.Location: unnamed flat, Woking Close, Roehampton, London, UK, SW15Date: Tuesday 27th of August 2019 after 1am Victims 1: Jacob LennonCulprits 1: Louise Lennon & Jake DrummondMurder Mile is one of the best UK / British true crime podcasts covering only 20 square miles of West London.

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. She lives in the greater Cincinnati area with her husband, close to their five kids and eleven grandkids.Resources Mentioned:Website: kimbotto.comBook: Boundless Hope for Every ChildPodcast: Every Child BelongsInstagram: @kimbottoTBRI® (Trust-Based Relational Intervention)Baylor University & Eric Carter research on disability and church inclusionGet The Special Needs Mom Survival Pack HEREConnect with Kara, host of The Special Needs Mom Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thespecialneedsmompodcast/Website: https://www.kararyska.com/
