College debt can haunt young adults and their parents for decades—but it doesn't have to. Today on Parents of the Year, Shellee Howard, founder of University Ready and author of How to Send Your Student to College Without Losing Your Mind or Your Money, joins Andrew and Caroline to share her practical, proven strategies for helping kids graduate debt-free. From strategic college tours and early family conversations about money to leveraging scholarships, community service, leadership, and international education opportunities, Shellee shows how intentional planning can transform college from a financial nightmare into an exciting, affordable opportunity. Homework Ideas:Early Exposure & Conversations: Visit colleges informally whenever travelling (even just walking around campus). Start casual, pressure-free conversations about college from a young age, focusing on growth and experiences, not just academics.Family Money Conversations: Discuss openly what college means financially for your family. Have teens research tuition, scholarships, cost of living, and expected salaries for careers they're interested in. AND, prioritize early where to spend and save money. Identify Scholarship Opportunities: Help your child identify their strongest skills (academic, leadership, sports, community service). Create a list of scholarship opportunities aligned to these strengths.Virtual College Tours: Use virtual tour apps to explore international universities early without cost. Identify top schools and consider a real-life visit only if they're seriously interested or concerned about safety.Plan B & C Strategy Session: With your child, create multiple backup plans for college choices, scholarships, and financial options. Include scenarios like injury, job loss, or other unexpected events to teach realistic, flexible thinking. About Shellee HowardShellee Howard is the founder of College Ready and a Certified Educational Consultant who helps high-achieving families send their kids to college without debt. With over 17 years of experience and four debt-free college grads of her own, she specializes in guiding complex teens toward top-tier schools with a personalized, strategic approach. Her proven Stand Out Strategy™ aligns academics, emotional readiness, and financial planning to turn college confusion into clarity. Podfolio Link: podfol.io/profile/shellee-howard Website: www.collegereadyplan.com Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parents-is-your-teen-college-ready/id1622261244LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/shelleehowardInstagram: www.instagram.com/collegereadyplan Facebook: www.facebook.com/CollegeReadyPlan Youtube: www.youtube.com/@collegereadyplan Enjoying the show?

In this episode of Parents of the Year, Andrew and Caroline unpack the trending term "FAFO parenting" (F*@$% around and find out). They break down the difference between logical and natural consequences and why using threats or shame in the name of "teaching lessons" misses the mark.This conversation dives into the importance of empathy, how to raise kids who think for themselves, and why it's not your job to micromanage—but also not your job to set them up for failure. You'll hear personal examples, parenting slip-ups, and real moments that matter in teaching kids how to handle life while keeping the relationship strong.Homework Ideas:Open-ended questions: Instead of "Put your coat on," ask, "What's the weather like today? What do you think you should wear?"Natural consequence check: Pause before you intervene. Is this dangerous? If not, let the situation teach the lesson.Empathy over ego: When your kid says, "I'm freezing," drop the "I told you so." Say, "Yeah, that sucks." Then circle back tomorrow: "What did you learn from yesterday?"Homework ownership: Don't track assignments. Let them face the teacher, not your nagging.Food prep independence: Ask weekly: "What do you need for lunches/snacks this week?" Let them plan and pack.Enjoying the show?

In this special recast episode of Parents of the Year, Caroline explains how boredom is actually a biological signal, not something to avoid or fix. Learn how boredom supports emotional regulation, executive functioning, creativity, and mental well-being—for both kids and adults.Learn:* What boredom really means in the brain and body* Why screens increase boredom (and emotional dysregulation)* How boredom supports creativity, problem-solving, and identity formation* Tips to help kids (and yourself) tolerate and embrace stillness* Why sitting in boredom is essential for emotion regulationHomework & ResourcesSchedule daily "do-nothing" breaks: 3–5 minutes of intentional stillness—no phones, music, or multitasking. Just breathe, notice, and pause.Model boredom tolerance: Say “I'm bored too—let's sit with it together” (even if you aren't). Normalize the emotion without rushing to fix it. Who knows what spark might happen!Reframe the language: Instead of “I'm bored,” try “I'm resetting” or “I'm giving my brain a break.” Teach this shift to your kids.Observe your own reaction to kids' boredom: Are you rushing to solve it? Sit with that discomfort too.Create a boredom menu: Use the resource below as a proactive list of creative activities kids can reference before they feel bored.

Are therapists' kids really more "messed up"? In this episode of Parents of the Year, Andrew and Caroline explore the myths and realities surrounding parenting as a mental health professional. From bringing work home, to pathologizing kids, to the fine line between validation and over-parenting, they explore what's myth, what's truth, and where parenting is just parenting. With humour, honesty, and real-life examples (including pranks gone wrong), this episode offers perspective for parents navigating their own parenting style, whether or not they work in the helping professions.Homework IdeaLet Kids Feel Without FixingNext time your child is distressed, resist the urge to immediately jump in with strategies.Instead, sit with them, acknowledge the feeling, and give them space to calm on their own.Journal afterwards: How hard was it for you to pause? Did your child surprise you?Practice Emotion CoachingEmotion Coaching helps children understand and manage their emotions. It encourages emotional intelligence, strengthens parent-child relationships, and boosts resilience in kids. Try practicing:See emotions as opportunities for connection. Emotions aren't good or bad, they're opportunities to teach and connect. Validate without judgment: “I get why that made you upset.”Listen and validate. Show empathy by reflecting feelings tentatively: “That must have been disappointing.” Listen actively, avoid immediately solving problems.Help your child label their feelings clearly. Guide them gently to name their feelings. Use a feelings chart or wheel to help. Collaboratively problem-solve or set limits if needed, without taking over: “What do you think might help?” Set clear limits on behavior, not emotion: “It's okay to be angry, but we don't yell at people.. What would be a better way to show how you're feeling?” Enjoying the show? Help us out by rating us on Apple! https://apple.co/3du8mPK Follow us on Facebook and join our Facebook Community!

Naomi's heart for people shines through every word as she shares her powerful journey of growing up serving in the orphanages of Tijuana, Mexico, and how a rainy day and a little girl's home changed everything.From that defining childhood moment to leading global ministries like MOPS and Stonecroft, Naomi walks us through her freedom story—a life marked by reconciliation, restoration, and God's vision for flourishing. We also dive into the incredible backstory of Every Woman's Bible—how it came to be, what makes it different, and the worldwide team of women who made it happen.You'll hear about: • Why Ephesians is her anchor • The power of crossing barriers in Jesus' name • How her mission was shaped by love and justice • What it means to truly embrace every woman • Why this Bible is both solid in theology and full of invitationWe also talk about how Every Woman's Bible isn't just another women's Bible—it's an embrace. A place where your story meets God's story and you're reminded you belong.

Hi friends!  Today we're talking about off grid water and digging a little deeper into the options you have for a solar water system.  We've had our system going for nearly 5 years, and it's pretty much maintenance free, which is really nice.  Water is so important in every aspect of our lives, and the last thing you need is to have water issues when you're trying to do so many other things to get your off-grid place up and running.  Let's get to it!   All the Best!

Hi friends!  We're in the thick of kidding season, and today I'm sharing about a new kidding experience I had a couple days ago, assisting a doe with a posterior (breech) kid.  We've had lots of breech kids before, but never one that I couldn't safely get the back legs repositioned, so this was a new one.  Goats never stop teaching me new things.  I'm also sharing some tips on how to be prepared for emergencies before they happen, which is vital.  Let's get to it!   All the Best!

Hey, Sister-friend

Hi friends!  Today we're talking about getting ready for kidding.  We've already done the early preparations – ordering tags, making sure we have the needed supplies on hand, and now it's time to get everything organized and in place so we're ready when that first kid is born soon.  We'll talk about the details – the little things that make caring for kids and keeping good records easier, and the things that keep frustration away, which helps us all win in the long run.  Over the years, I've found this detailed preparation makes a huge difference in the overall success of our kidding season.  Let's get to it!   All the Best!

Hi friends!  Today we're talking about within-breed variation and how it affects the way you select your livestock.  This will help you avoid a common mistake when choosing your first animals – focusing on breed only.  Getting clear on your goals, deciding what traits are important to you, and asking questions to figure out if the livestock you're looking at will fit your goals and management plan will help you get to success faster when raising livestock.  Let's get to it!   All the Best!

Hi friends!  Today we're answering a listener question about butchering meat goats.  What is the best age and size to butcher, and how to feed them so the meat quality is amazing.  We're going to talk about commercial weight and age standards or, rather, the lack of standards, and what I have found works really well to meet our goal of premium quality meat.  Let's get to it!   All the Best!

Hi friends!  Last week we talked about building fence for goats, and today we're talking about how to manage your goat herd so that they respect your fence.  Goats are notorious for challenging fences, usually by jumping or shimmying under, but it doesn't have to be that way.  I'm going to share what we've learned about dealing with problem goats, and what you can do to prevent problems in the first place.  If your goats respect your fencing, you'll have a much better goat-raising experience.  Let's get to it!   All the Best!

Hi friends!  Today we're talking about building fence for goats.  Fence is one of the biggest investments in owning goats, and I've heard it many times that if your fence won't hold water, it won't hold goats!  That sure seems true sometimes, but today I'm going to share some strategies we've used to successfully fence our goats, keep them contained, and keep them safe from predators.  Let's get to it!   All the Best!

Hey, Sister-friend

Hey Sister-Friend, How are you doing today? I hope you are well  Today, we will look at part 2 of the four pillars of trauma healing that every Christian woman should know. In part one (episode 140) I unpacked the first 2 pillars of trauma healing, which are: Relational safety and preparation, and Education and skills building In this episode, I will discuss the last two pillars: Desensitization and Integration Prost traumatic growth and resilience. Many trauma survivors know that they want healing but are not quite sure how the process would look. By sharing these foundations, it will provide some insight into what you can expect the trauma-healing journey to entail. Your exact process would be tailored and co-created between you and your chosen mental health professional, and with the information in this episode, you will be able to explore and discuss what would be helpful to your healing. I hope you enjoy this episode and I wish you every success in your trauma-healing journey.  Blessings and Love Jenniel
