As parents, how do we raise our kids to be resilient against life's inevitable hardships? Good Inside author Dr. Becky Kennedy shares her insights here!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1163What We Discuss with Dr. Becky Kennedy:Boundaries are what parents tell kids they will do — not what kids must do. "If you're not off the couch by the time I get there, I'll pick you up" works better than threats or punishments that require kid compliance.Optimizing for happiness in childhood creates fragility in adulthood. Kids who avoid hard feelings never learn they can handle disappointment, jealousy, or failure — leaving them with a narrow range of emotions they feel capable managing.Parents have two jobs: setting boundaries and validating emotions. These aren't opposites — they work together. Set the limit, then acknowledge their feelings: "You really wish you could keep jumping on the couch.""Do nothing" is often the best parenting strategy. It's mindful restraint — choosing not to react in the moment when kids are upset. This prevents escalation and models emotional regulation better than immediate correction.Build confidence by letting kids struggle through puzzles, conflicts, and challenges. Tell them: "The best feeling is when you think you can't do something, then watch yourself make progress." Struggle builds capability.And much more...And if you're game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

University of Washington researchers discovered something that should concern every parent: children who use AI to create can no longer create without it. And here's the concerning part: most parents have absolutely no idea it's happening. If you've been following our series on Creative Thinking in the AI Age, you know I've been tracking how […]

'Love is the Foundation from which we build everything in life, and it starts at home..." Powerful words of wisdom, from our guest this week - American author & life coach, and fellow Mom, Sonia Jackson Myles. Could we Learn to Love better? How do we love ourselves better? Understanding and embracing the basic meaning of Love, says Sonia, starts at home, in our family life. As children, we learn from our parents - and our kids learn about Love from us. It's the foundational structure that determines how successful we become in life. And Sonia agrees, without Love, we are broken people - it brings that wholesome gratitude to life - especially important as Parents and teachers to our children.

Listeners who are ambivalent about having kids call in to talk about why they feel that way.

Can we become more inclusive as parents? Inclusivity has great benefits for everyone involved. We loved this explanation from Bright Horizons: "Too often, inclusiveness is described as something we should do to benefit others. Being inclusive is more than a moral obligation—although this alone is enough reason to practice it. When we are inclusive we aren't divided. Instead, our world becomes enlarged. We gain relationships and experiences that enrich us. We recognize that we are all different, and that those differences bring joy to living." In this episode, we talk about how to get "wider" (more intentionally inclusive) in our family lives and in our communities and how to bring our kids into that conversation.

Christine Miles, author of What Is It Costing You Not to Listen?, teaches us how transformational listening can deepen connections with teenagers by hearing what's unsaid, asking the right questions, and creating life-changing conversations.Full Show NotesWe all think of ourselves as pretty good listeners, right? But consider this: 96% of us claim good listening skills, yet only 2% have ever had formal training in how to listen. As parents, teachers, or mentors of teenagers, we spend so much energy worrying about what we say in conversations—we want to give advice, teach life lessons, and help teens make the right decisions. But the truth is, we often completely overlook the real key to meaningful communication: our ability to listen deeply.Most of our listening approaches barely scratch the surface and simply skim the basic facts of a situation. However, teens rarely communicate straight to the heart of what's truly bothering them. A surface complaint or confrontation can disguise deeper emotional struggles. How can we move beyond mundane conversation and create more meaningful connections with the young people in our lives?Our guest Christine Miles, author of What Is It Costing You Not to Listen?, is a renowned listening expert and speaker, who has spent her life empowering people to tap into what she calls “transformational listening.” Christine's groundbreaking work has led her to teach listening workshops nationwide, helping families, educators, and corporate teams unlock deeper understanding, resolve problems, and build authentic connections through the power of listening better.In this thoughtful and eye-opening episode, Christine shares powerful insights from her personal story and her professional expertise to demonstrate exactly why listening is so crucial, and how developing listening skills will profoundly affect all aspects of our relationships with teens.Why Teens Need Transformational ListeningChristine introduces the idea of transformational listening, which goes beyond empathy and allows us to truly hear not only the words teens speak but also their underlying and often unspoken feelings. Transformational listening helps us understand each teenager's unique experience. Christine explains how listening provides teens a safe space to truly open up by guiding them to reveal parts of their story they may not even be aware of themselves.One major reason parents and teens experience poor communication is because teens rarely start at the beginning when they share their story. According to Christine, we usually get dropped right in the middle of a teenager's internal narrative, causing misunderstanding or confusion. Parents often mistakenly assume that teens don't want to talk or be open. Christine teaches us how to navigate conversations strategically to capture the whole story and not just surface details.How to Stop Getting in Your Own WayMost of us unconsciously interfere with our own listening ability, making typical mistakes like asking too many questions or imposing assumptions onto teens' stories. Christine helps us recognize and prevent these conversational pitfalls by sharing simple but incredibly effective techniques she calls the Listening Compass. We'll learn a small but powerful set of open-ended questions that invite teenagers to dive deeper without feeling interrogated or misunderstood.Christine also explains how to notice important non-verbal listening cues by paying attention to what teens aren't saying. Mastering this technique helps teens feel truly understood, even when they're struggling to articulate what's actually bothering them, allowing us to support or steer the conversation positively without forcing direct solutions on them prematurely.Discovering Your Teen's True StoryChristine emphasizes the incredible power of finding the "tipping point"—the moment in stories or conflicts when a decision or realization occurs and everything shifts. Often teenagers present us with a seemingly minor problem (like shoes or school struggles), but beneath the surface lies a complex mix of emotions or concerns teens don't even consciously realize. By engaging in transformational listening, parents can genuinely empower teens, helping them discover and navigate their emotional challenges and even reach deeper insight about their own decisions.Christine shares impactful stories and case examples, illustrating how parents and mentors using these listening practices earned trust and ultimately became part of life-changing turning points simply by listening in a new way.Taking Listening to Real LifeThe beauty of Christine's approach is that the tools she teaches can be practiced right away, leading to rapid and transformative results in relationships with teenagers. Christine shares moving real-life examples—not just from parenting, but from workplaces and friendships—where transformational listening has allowed meaningful conversations to flourish, deeper trust to build, and healthier emotional decision-making to happen.Christine explains why feelings do matter, even when societal messages often teach us to keep emotions separate from work or challenging situations. Her insights expand our emotional intelligence, improving not just our teen relationships but demonstrating how attentive listening benefits nearly every aspect of our public and private lives.In this powerful conversation, Christine provides clear steps and tools to start implementing transformational listening immediately, teaching us how to revolutionize the ways we communicate with and understand teens.In the Episode, we also discussWhy focusing on your response interferes with listening effectivelyHow emotional intelligence can matter more for teen success than academic gradesWhy saying “Don't get mad, but…” almost always backfiresHow listening skills can vastly improve communication in workplaces and schools as well as at homeIf you want to strengthen your connection with the teens in your life and genuinely help guide them towards growth and emotional maturity, don't miss this groundbreaking episode!

Depuis plus de dix ans, un dispositif piloté par l'Éducation nationale et le ministère de l'Intérieur permet aux parents étrangers primo-arrivants, d'apprendre le français, mais aussi de comprendre le fonctionnement du système scolaire. Les ateliers OEPRE, acronyme de « Ouvrir l'école aux parents pour la réussite des élèves », sont dispensés par des associations agréées sur l'ensemble du territoire français. Reportage à Vierzon, en région Centre-Val de Loire. Chaque jeudi, à l'école Pierre Bodin-Jean Zay de Vierzon, dans le centre de la France, Sarah Geneix de l'association C'est possible autrement anime l'atelier de formation d'un groupe de cinq parents non francophones. Petite séance de révision avant le début du cours. Après avoir revu des notions déjà apprises, le cours du jour porte sur la construction de la phrase négative. Pendant que les apprenantes font des exercices, Sarah Geneix, la formatrice, rappelle le but de ces ateliers : « La finalité est de faciliter la communication entre les parents et les enseignants et de permettre aux parents de mieux se repérer dans le système scolaire et d'accompagner au plus près les besoins de leurs enfants. »Les formations OEPRE sont gratuites et se font sur la base du volontariat et de la volonté sans faille des parents. La formatrice raconte une anecdote qui lui fait toujours plaisir : « Je me souviens d'une maman qui m'a dit "mais c'est cela, la récré !" parce que son fils lui parlait toujours de la récré, mais elle ne savait pas ce que c'était, la récréation. Et puis la motivation, elle se voit par leur assiduité. Il y a très rarement d'absence. »Car il s'agit de parents très motivés pour la réussite scolaire de leurs enfants, comme Nadira, originaire du Kazakhstan et mère de quatre enfants. « Avant que je faisais les devoirs avec mon fils, je ne comprenais pas comment faire. Maintenant, je comprends plusieurs choses et c'est très important pour moi et pour mon fils », explique-t-elle. Chayma, elle, n'a pas trop de difficultés en français. Ce qui a surtout motivé cette mère de famille tunisienne, c'est de comprendre le fonctionne de l'école en France. « Comment cela se déroule à l'école, les agendas, comment on doit vérifier à la maison, ce que nos enfants doivent faire et tout ça. J'ai une idée plus claire concernant l'école », se réjouit-elle.En 2014, une évaluation du dispositif OEPRE a prouvé son efficacité à plusieurs niveaux, comme l'indique Séverine Goblet, inspectrice de l'Éducation nationale en charge du programme dans la circonscription de Saint-Amand-Montrond, dans le Cher. « L'opération a prouvé son efficacité avec une progression linguistique perçue pour 70% des parents, une baisse de l'absentéisme chez les élèves dont les parents suivent le programme, la satisfaction des chefs d'établissement ou des directeurs quant aux effets du dispositif OEPRE sur les parents et le corps enseignant », détaille-t-elle. Tout parent primo-arrivant en France peut s'inscrire aux formations OEPRE durant l'année. En 2023, près de 19 500 adultes ont participé à plus d'un millier d'ateliers du dispositif Ouvrir l'école aux parents, pour la réussite des élèves.À écouter aussi8 milliards de voisins: parents d'élèves, à distance ou au cœur de l'école ?

It's time to address the age-old question: Do children make us happy? Backed by powerful research and personal stories, Kylie and Justin explore the paradox of parenting—how our kids can simultaneously be our greatest joy and our biggest challenge. Featuring insights from happiness researchers like Daniel Kahneman, Paul Bloom, and Roy Baumeister, the conversation moves from exhaustion and conflict to purpose, meaning, and unconditional love. KEY POINTS: Research shows that parenting often decreases happiness and marital satisfaction, especially in the early years. Daniel Kahneman's study revealed mothers find time with kids less enjoyable than activities like watching TV or shopping—particularly during stressful mornings and evenings. Despite the challenges, most parents say they don't regret having children—why? Cultural and policy differences influence parental happiness across countries. Parenting isn’t primarily about happiness—it's about purpose, meaning, and deep emotional connection. The hardest parts of parenting often give rise to the most profound moments of growth and joy. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: "If the loss of a child would be total annihilation, then having a child—healthy, happy, and sound—must be annihilation’s opposite, which sounds pretty terrific." – Paul Bloom RESOURCES MENTIONED: The Parenting Revolution by Dr. Justin Coulson All Joy and No Fun by Jennifer Senior The Sweet Spot by Paul Bloom Meanings of Life by Roy Baumeister Daniel Kahneman’s research on parental enjoyment Columbia University studies by Sara McLanahan ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Redefine Happiness: Shift your focus from momentary happiness to long-term meaning and connection. Embrace the Mess: Recognise that hard days are part of the growth—yours and your child’s. Prioritise Connection: In the chaos, seek small moments of intimacy and presence. Protect Your Partnership: Align as a couple around shared parenting values; the child isn’t the problem—misalignment often is.

If there's one thing that gets people's blood pumpin', it's sports. All over the world on any given day, you can find people getting into passionate arguments about whose team has a better chance of making the playoffs, or the finals, or the World Cup or whatever. Sometimes there are fisticuffs involved! There are pubs in Scotland where you're not allowed to wear your football team colors, for fear of a brawl breaking out. In my hometown, when our college team won a big basketball game, people would celebrate by turning over cars and setting stuff on fire. Parents often treat their elementary school kids' Little League games like the fate of the free world is at stake. My point is, people get INTENSE about this stuff. And things can get real, real weird. This week, we bring you two stories that exemplify that weirdness.Case 1: The Wild Lies of Kevin Hart.

In this episode, Dan and his guest explore the humorous aspects of male behavior, the dynamics of communication in relationships, and the challenges of parenting through various phases of childhood. They discuss the concept of 'douchebags' and how personal growth often involves navigating through immature behaviors. The conversation also touches on the complexities of young relationships and the expectations parents have for their children's future. In this conversation, Dan and his guest explore various aspects of parenting, discussing the unique traits and future aspirations of their children. They delve into the challenges of navigating parenting, the dynamics of family life, and the humorous yet relatable experiences of dining out. The conversation also touches on the contrast between first-world problems and real struggles faced by people in different parts of the world, using the example of crocodiles and survival strategies in Africa. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the brutal realities of nature, discussing various animal behaviors, human interactions with wildlife, and the inherent dangers present in the wild. They explore the power dynamics between humans and animals, the fear of the unknown in nature, and share personal encounters with wildlife that highlight the unpredictability and ferocity of the natural world. Takeaways Humor in sports commentary often attracts attention from unexpected audiences. Men often share a juvenile sense of humor that persists into adulthood. Communication in relationships can be improved through shared lists of love languages. Navigating the 'douchebag' phase is a common experience for young men. Parents should allow children to learn from their mistakes to foster growth. Young relationships often lack depth and are more about social dynamics than genuine connection. It's important to guide children through their social interactions without being overly controlling. Children's interests and skills can evolve rapidly, influencing their future career paths. Understanding the balance between guidance and freedom is crucial in parenting. The way children express affection and friendship can be quite different from adult expectations. Parenting involves navigating unique challenges and aspirations. Children can exhibit surprising talents and interests. The education system can sometimes hinder children's natural abilities. It's important to encourage independence in children. Family dynamics play a significant role in shaping children's futures. Dining out can lead to humorous and frustrating experiences. Understanding restaurant etiquette can enhance dining experiences. Pregnancy cravings can complicate simple restaurant orders. First-world problems often pale in comparison to real struggles. Survival strategies in nature highlight the harsh realities of life. Nature is often brutal and unforgiving. Humans can underestimate the dangers of wildlife. Predators exhibit intelligence and instinct in their hunting. Fear often stems from the unknown in nature. Human interactions with animals can lead to dangerous situations. The power dynamics in the animal kingdom are stark and often lethal. Even small animals can pose significant threats to humans. Personal encounters with wildlife can be both thrilling and terrifying. Understanding animal behavior is crucial for safety in the wild. Mother Nature operates without regard for human life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Pushing to prosecute parents of chronically truant kids is a pointless exercise according to one school principal.

He's announced the Education Ministry is proactively contacting schools and attendance officers to make sure parents of chronically absent students are referred to them for possible prosecution. Rangiora High School Principal Bruce Kearney spoke to Lisa Owen.

In this episode of the Young Dad podcast, host Jey Young speaks with Robert Delena, a father who defied expert opinions regarding his son Ryan's developmental challenges. Robert shares his journey of advocating for Ryan, who was diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder and faced extreme behavior modification techniques in therapeutic schools. Through skiing, Robert discovered Ryan's untapped potential, leading to a radical shift in their parenting approach. The conversation explores the importance of trusting parental instincts, the impact of diagnosis, and the healing power of nature. Robert emphasizes the need for parents to be advocates for their children and to question professional advice when necessary.TakeawaysRobert's story highlights the importance of parental advocacy.Skiing became a transformative experience for Ryan.Trusting your instincts as a parent is crucial.Diagnosis can sometimes hinder rather than help children.The educational system often fails to accommodate individual needs.Nature has a healing power that can benefit children.Parents should question professional advice when it doesn't feel right.Finding a passion can change a child's life trajectory.Support and love are essential for a child's development.Every child deserves the chance to thrive beyond labels.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Fatherhood and Advocacy01:44 Defying Expert Opinions: A Father's Journey03:16 Questioning the System: A Father's Perspective08:34 The Struggles with Therapeutic Schools15:46 The Impact of Skiing on Ryan's Life21:45 Navigating Mental Health and Medication28:55 Finding Passion: The Power of Skiing31:16 Education and Individualized Learning32:07 Rethinking Education for Modern Kids33:16 The Importance of Outdoor Activities35:37 Navigating Interests and Hobbies37:47 Supporting Kids' Passions39:13 Growth Through Shared Experiences41:56 Advice for Parents Facing Challenges43:07 Navigating Mental Health and Medication46:15 Trusting Parental Instincts50:17 Fun and Lighthearted Questions53:30 Advice for Young Fathers56:13 lifestyle-outro-low.wavCheck out the Website for Interactive Activity Guides, Resources, Full Transcripts, all things YDP- ⁠⁠www.youngdadpod.com Clink the Link for YDP Deals (Joon, Forefathers &more)- ⁠https://linktr.ee/youngdadpod Want to be a guest on Young Dad Podcast?

When it comes to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), much of the focus is often placed on data collection, program goals, and measurable outcomes for the child. But what about the parents? Supporting caregivers is a critical, and sometimes overlooked, component of effective ABA services. In a recent podcast episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Valencia Harper, a seasoned clinician from Apollo Behavior, to talk about her thoughtful approach to working with families. Long-time listeners may remember Valencia from our Apollo Case Study Series, where she and her colleagues discussed mentoring new practitioners. This time around, we shifted gears to focus on her insights into caregiver collaboration—and the conversation did not disappoint. From Smoothies to Strategy: Valencia's Journey Valencia opened up about her own career beginnings, including a memorable (and messy) first day involving a smoothie spill. That moment, though humbling, marked the start of a journey that led her to become the confident and effective BCBA she is today. Through years of experience, she has developed a deep appreciation for the unique challenges parents face—and a toolkit for meeting them with empathy, clarity, and respect. What Parents Really Need from ABA Providers Throughout the episode, Valencia shared key insights into how BCBAs can better support the families they serve. Here are a few highlights from our discussion: 1. Listening Builds Rapport Rather than jumping into solutions, Valencia emphasizes the power of active listening. Parents often come to the table with a wealth of experience and emotion. Taking time to truly hear them builds trust and sets the tone for collaboration. 2. BCBAs Don't Have to Know Everything It can be tempting to feel like we have to have all the answers. But Valencia reminds us that being transparent about what we don't know—while showing a commitment to learning—can strengthen relationships rather than weaken them. 3. Prioritize Parental Concerns Instead of sticking strictly to what the data says, Valencia encourages clinicians to take parent priorities seriously. If bedtime battles or sibling conflicts are top of mind for the family, addressing those concerns can lead to more engagement and faster progress. 4. Clarify ABA Jargon Parents may struggle with technical terms or misunderstand the purpose of certain procedures. Valencia discusses how breaking things down into digestible language helps reduce frustration and builds empowerment. 5. Combat Learned Helplessness Some caregivers come into services feeling defeated or disconnected. Valencia talks about how to gently challenge that mindset and offer small, achievable strategies that rebuild parental confidence. 6. Teach How to Set Limits Supporting families doesn't stop with behavior plans. Valencia shares tips for coaching parents on how to set clear, developmentally appropriate limits without escalating the situation. 7. Responding to "We've Already Tried That" This common phrase can be frustrating for clinicians, but Valencia reframes it as an opportunity to validate parents' experiences and reintroduce strategies with better context or support. Inside Apollo's Approach to Caregiver Training Valencia also gave us a behind-the-scenes look at how Apollo Behavior structures its caregiver support. From structured training sessions to informal check-ins, their model integrates parent collaboration as a core component of service delivery—not an afterthought.

In the 893rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England celebrate Jeff Madsen's 40th birthday before talking about two poker players who murdered their parents. Recently in Texas, Benjamin Frakes, 39, was taken into custody at Doghouse Poker Club in Cypress, a town 25 miles northwest of Downtown Houston. He was charged with capital murder for allegedly shooting his parents. The tragic situation was reminiscent of poker player Ernie Scherer, who was convicted in 2011 of killing his parents in an elaborate plot to collect an inheritance. It's a true crime story that's been featured on 48 Hours but often overlooked by the poker world, that is, until the crew takes a look back in history and shares details of the horrific crime. Chad then offers a behind-the-scenes look at Daniel Negreanu's 25K Fantasy Draft, including an interview with the man himself, before recapping recent tournament winners from the Triton Montenegro, including Jesse Lonis, Jason Koon, and Aleksa Pavicevic. Other stories covered include the return of the PokerStars Big Game and a preview of the Bar Poker Open coming to the Golden Nugget Las Vegas from June 8-13.

We all want the best for our kids, but knowing what's truly best isn't always easy.You've probably heard it—or said it yourself: “I just want my kids to have what I didn't.” It sounds noble, but it can sometimes lead to financial trouble. Today, we'll talk with Dr. Art Rainer about how that mindset can push parents into debt.Dr. Art Rainer is the founder of the Institute for Christian Financial Health and Christian Money Solutions. He is a regular contributor here at Faith & Finance and the author of Money in the Light of Eternity: What the Bible Says about Your Financial Purpose.6 Things That Can Lead Loving Parents Into DebtRaising kids is one of the most joyful and rewarding callings in life, but it can also be financially challenging. As parents, we want to give our children the best: opportunities, experiences, and resources that help them flourish. But sometimes, even with the best intentions, we can fall into financial traps that lead to debt.Here are six common ways loving parents may unintentionally sabotage their finances—and how to avoid them.1. Trying to Keep Up with the JonesesIt's a familiar struggle: your neighbor buys designer clothes for their kids or sends them to an elite private school, and suddenly you feel the need to do the same. But appearances can be deceiving—many people fund their lifestyle with debt. Chasing someone else's standard is a never-ending race, and the finish line keeps moving. Be cautious of modeling your spending after others who may not be living within their means.2. Falling into the Social Media Comparison TrapSocial media only shows the highlight reel. Perfect family vacations, overachieving kids, and pristine homes can tempt you to measure your life against a filtered illusion. These comparisons can spark discontentment and drive unnecessary purchases just to keep up appearances or ease the guilt of not "measuring up." Be mindful of how much your scrolling influences your spending.3. Believing Your Kids Need to Have It AllFrom travel teams to private lessons and elite camps, extracurricular activities have become a costly arms race. While these opportunities can be beneficial, they shouldn't come at the expense of your financial health. Don't believe the lie that your child will fall behind if they don't do everything. It's okay to say no, for the sake of your budget and your family's peace.4. Prioritizing Career Success Over Character DevelopmentThere's nothing wrong with wanting your children to succeed in school and in life, but academic or career accomplishments should never come at the cost of neglecting their hearts. Investing in your child's character, through time, guidance, and godly instruction, often requires less money but more intentional effort. And in the end, it matters far more.5. Overcompensating for What You Didn't HaveIf you lacked certain things growing up, it's natural to want your kids to have more. Whether it was a nicer bike, newer clothes, or a first car, those memories can shape how you respond as a parent. But giving in to every request—even on credit—can backfire. Love doesn't always mean saying “yes.” Sometimes it means exercising the wisdom to say “not right now.”6. Forgetting the Value of Doing WithoutNot getting what you wanted as a kid may have helped you grow. Maybe you learned creativity, resilience, or the value of work through those experiences. Don't rob your children of the same opportunity. Saying no might actually prepare them better for life than always saying yes.Loving your children doesn't mean giving them everything. It means stewarding your finances in a way that honors God and serves your family's long-term well-being. Avoiding debt is one of the best gifts you can give your children—it provides stability, models wisdom, and frees your family to give generously.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I called about our whole life insurance policy. We've paid for 10 years and only have 19,000 saved with a 150,000 death benefit.

In this intimate episode of the Sex with Emily podcast, Dr. Emily teams up with Dr. Scott Lyons, a licensed holistic psychologist and body-based trauma expert, to explore how vocalizing pleasure can transform your intimate experiences. From a candid discussion about their couples massage experience in Vegas to practical advice on overcoming sexual silence, this episode reveals why making authentic sounds during sex creates deeper connection and more intense pleasure. We dive into the psychology behind sexual silence, examining how childhood conditioning, shame, and societal expectations keep us quiet when we should be expressing ourselves. Dr. Scott explains the nervous system science behind vocalization, including how making sounds stimulates the vagus nerve and helps regulate our bodies during intimate moments. We also tackle the difference between authentic pleasure sounds and performative moaning influenced by porn culture. This episode addresses common concerns like being too loud with roommates or kids in the house, offers practical exercises for gradually increasing your vocal expression, and explores how sound creates crucial feedback loops between partners. Whether you're naturally quiet or overly performative, you'll learn how to find your authentic voice of pleasure.

Dinosaurs, owls… and condoms? Yep, those are just a few of the topics sitting side by side on the shelves at your local library. Today I'm joined by “Kitchen Table Activist” Karen England to expose the graphic, sexually explicit content being snuck into school and public libraries—often disguised as kid-friendly cartoons.These books aren't approved by parents, but by unelected librarians pushing content that goes far beyond what's appropriate for children. Watch this episode, get informed, and share it. We need parents nationwide to stand up and protect our kids' innocence.

The AFT is dedicated to the belief that every person in America deserves the freedom to thrive, fueled by opportunity, justice and a voice in our democracy. This freedom is achieved through an economy that works for all, including the ability to form a union; great public schools and affordable higher education; healthcare as a right; retirement security; the right to vote and civil rights; a vibrant democracy; and safe, welcoming and healthy environments and communities. The AFT and its members advance these principles through community engagement, organizing, collective bargaining and political activism, and especially through members' work—we care, fight, show up and vote. Prior to her election as AFT president in 2008, Weingarten served for 11 years as president of the United Federation of Teachers, AFT Local 2, representing approximately 200,000 educators in the New York City public school system, as well as home child care providers and other workers in health, law and education. Weingarten is the recipient of many commendations; she was included in Washingtonian's 2021 Washington's Most Influential People, City & State New York's 2021 New York City Labor Power 100, and Washington Life's 2018 Power 100 list of prominent leaders, and in 2017 received the Roosevelt Institute's FDR Distinguished Public Service Award. In 2013, the New York Observer named Weingarten one of the most influential New Yorkers of the past 25 years. Weingarten has led the AFT's efforts to strengthen public education for all children and to address the crisis in the teaching profession caused by deep disinvestment and the deprofessionalization of teaching. Through the AFT's Fund Our Future campaign, AFT members and leaders throughout the country are fighting for adequate investment in public education. Parents and many others have joined the AFT's efforts to end the overuse and misuse of standardized tests, and to fix—not close—struggling schools, something Weingarten has advocated since her involvement in the creation of New York City's Chancellor's District, which dramatically improved achievement in what had been some of the city's lowest-performing schools. Weingarten has launched major efforts to place real education reform high on the nation's and her union's agendas. She created the AFT Innovation Fund, a groundbreaking initiative to support sustainable, innovative and collaborative education reform projects developed by members and their local unions. At Weingarten's direction, the AFT developed a model to transform teacher evaluations from a way of simply rating teachers to a tool for continuous improvement and feedback. This model is used to align tenure and due process, so that tenure serves as a guarantee of fairness, not of a job for life. Weingarten led an AFT committee that called for all prospective teachers to meet a high entry standard—as in medicine or law—so that they're prepared from the day they enter the classroom. Weingarten oversaw the development of the AFT's Quality Education Agenda, which advocates for reforms grounded in evidence, equity, scalability and sustainability. She promotes what she calls “solution-driven unionism”—an approach to collective bargaining and collective action that unites the interests of union members and those they serve in the pursuit of solutions that benefit students, schools and communities. Under Weingarten's leadership, the AFT continues to grow and expand its voice as a union of professionals. Nationwide, the AFT is the second-largest union of nurses and other health professionals and the largest higher education union, representing 230,000 higher education faculty, professional staff and graduate employees. Weingarten helped source millions of dollars of personal protective equipment for nurses and health professionals experiencing shortages as they served on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic. Weingarten is an advocate for a New Deal for Higher Education, a campaign calling for substantial federal investment in higher education that would prioritize teaching, research and student supports; provide sustainable careers with professional voice for all faculty and staff; allow all students to attend regardless of ability to pay; create academic environments free of racism and other forms of bigotry; and cancel student debt. The AFT provides our members tools and information they can use to manage their federal student loan debt, including having that debt forgiven, while advocating for solutions to the escalating cost of higher education, predatory loan practices, and terrible loan servicing that is holding people back. The AFT and a broad array of parent and community partners across the country have collaborated on events to advance a community- and educator-driven agenda for public school reform. Weingarten spearheaded the development of Share My Lesson, the United States' largest free collection of lesson plans, classroom activities, and teaching strategies and resources created by educators, for educators—all at no cost. The AFT has a long-standing partnership with First Book, which has provided 5 million free and reduced-price books to children. Weingarten and the AFT were asked to lead a partnership to transform McDowell County, W.Va., one of the poorest counties in the United States. The AFT has assembled more than 100 partners not only to improve the quality of education provided to children in the county, but to focus on jobs, transportation, recreation, housing, healthcare and social services. Weingarten believes the rural way of life is worth fighting for, and the AFT's experience in McDowell County informs the work Weingarten is advancing to help rural communities thrive—through education, healthcare and economic opportunities. The AFT supports the strategic establishment of 25,000 community schools where students and families can access tailored health services and social services in one place, and marginalized communities can have access to services and support. Weingarten views this goal as especially vital to help children, families and communities recover from the wide-ranging impacts of the coronavirus pandemic and ensuing recession. When the COVID-19 crisis hit, the AFT worked with scientists and health professionals to develop a blueprint for reopening schools. The AFT continues to advocate for the funding and necessary testing and safety protocols to ensure in-person learning is safe.  During the Trump administration, Weingarten led the AFT's efforts to oppose Trump and Betsy DeVos' fervent attempts to defund and destabilize public education and to stand up to the administration's racist policies and attacks on facts and democracy. In 2012-13, Weingarten served on an education reform commission convened by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, which made a series of recommendations to improve teaching and learning. She was appointed to the Equity and Excellence Commission, a federal advisory committee chartered by Congress to examine and make recommendations concerning the disparities in educational opportunities that give rise to the achievement gap. For 10 years, while president of the UFT, Weingarten chaired New York City's Municipal Labor Committee, an umbrella organization for the city's 100-plus public sector unions, including those representing higher education and other public service employees. As chair of the MLC, she coordinated labor negotiations and bargaining for benefits on behalf of the MLC unions' 365,000 members. From 1986 to 1998, Weingarten served as counsel to UFT President Sandra Feldman, taking a lead role in contract negotiations and enforcement, and in lawsuits in which the union fought for adequate school funding and building conditions. A teacher of history at Clara Barton High School in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood from 1991 to 1997, Weingarten helped her students win several state and national awards debating constitutional issues. Elected as the local union's assistant secretary in 1995 and as treasurer two years later, she became UFT president after Feldman became president of the AFT. Weingarten was elected to her first full term as UFT president in 1998 and was re-elected three times. Weingarten's column “What Matters Most” appears in the New York Times' Sunday Review the third Sunday of each month. You can follow her on Twitter at @rweingarten (Twitter.com/rweingarten) and on Facebook (Facebook.com/randi.weingarten.9). Weingarten holds degrees from Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations and the Cardozo School of Law. She worked as a lawyer for the Wall Street firm of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan from 1983 to 1986. She is an active member of the Democratic National Committee and numerous professional, civic and philanthropic organizations. Born in 1957 and raised in Rockland County, N.Y., Weingarten now resides in the Inwood neighborhood of New York City.
