In dieser Folge von „Fitness im Ohr“ spricht Host Janosch Marx mit Vanessa Stork darüber, wie sich die Generation Z, Millennials und Boomer in ihren Erwartungen an Fitnessstudios unterscheiden. Sie diskutieren, welche Rolle Digitalisierung, Community und Ehrlichkeit in der Ansprache spielen und weshalb klassische Klischees über die Generationen häufig in die Irre führen. Hörerinnen und Hörer erhalten konkrete Impulse, wie sie ihre Studios generationengerecht positionieren und mit digitalen Tools wie Apps, KI-Coaching und smarten Prozessen erfolgreicher arbeiten können. In dieser Folge erfährst du: • Wie unterscheiden sich Gen Z, Millennials und Boomer in Motivation, Werten und Trainingsverhalten? • Welche Rolle spielen Lebensphasen im Vergleich zu reinen Geburtsjahrgängen für das Verhalten im Fitnessstudio? • Warum die Digitalisierung für Gen Z und die kommende Generation Alpha ein selbstverständlicher Standard ist. • Wie Fitnessstudios mit Apps, KI-Tools und digitalen Prozessen alle Generationen ansprechen können. • Wieso Boomer nach Corona teilweise aus den Studios verschwunden sind und wie Betreiber sie zurückgewinnen können. • Welche Chancen im Trend zur ganzheitlichen Gesundheit und zu Longevity-Konzepten liegen. Key Takeaways: • Generationen jenseits der Klischees: Klischees erleichtern die schnelle Einordnung, greifen aber zu kurz. Ausschlaggebend sind die jeweiligen Lebensphasen, individuelle Ziele und der gemeinsame Wunsch nach Sinn, Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden. • Digitalisierung als Erwartung, nicht als Extra: Für die Generation Z und die künftige Generation Alpha sind digitale Prozesse, Apps und smarte Services eine Grundvoraussetzung. Ältere Generationen sind dagegen zunehmend bereit, sich auf digitale Angebote einzulassen. • Community statt jugendlicher Showeffekte: Jüngere Mitglieder suchen Authentizität, Gemeinschaft und ehrliche Kommunikation statt einer künstlich ‚verjüngten‘ Studiosprache oder austauschbarer Rabattkampagnen. • Die vernachlässigte Zielgruppe der Boomer: Während der Pandemie sind viele Boomer aus den Studios gegangen. Bislang wurden sie nicht systematisch zurückgeholt, obwohl sie gesundheitsorientiert sind und großes Potenzial für langfristige Mitgliedschaften bieten. • Holistische Gesundheitsangebote als Zukunftsmodell: Studios, die Training, Prävention, Therapie und moderne Konzepte wie Biohacking und Longevity verbinden, positionieren sich als zentrale Gesundheitsdienstleister. Dadurch erhöhen sie ihre Relevanz für alle Generationen. • Digitaler Werkzeugkasten für Studios: Eine durchdachte Studi-App, eine digitale Mitgliedschaftsverwaltung, Self-Check-in, In-Club-Screens und gamifizierte Trainingssysteme entlasten das Team, verbessern den Service und stärken die Bindung zu den Mitgliedern.

Welcome back to This Week in Work — the show where behavioural science meets workplace culture, brought to you by the HubSpot Podcast Network. Hosted by Chartered Occupational Psychologist Leanne Elliott and business owner Al Elliott.

What happens when educational leadership is grounded in the wisdom of community, driven by emotion as much as intellect, and unflinchingly committed to equity? This week on Voices for Excellence, Dr. Michael Conner sits down with Dr. Brenda Garcia Castro—assistant principal at Century Community Charter School in Inglewood, California, and adjunct professor at Pepperdine University—for a deeply human and intellectually rigorous conversation that bridges systemic transformation with personal journey.A proud bilingual leader, researcher, immigrant mother, and rising scholar with both an EdD and a PhD in progress, Dr. Garcia Castro offers a visionary blueprint for what it means to lead from love, data, and intentionality all at once. Her groundbreaking conceptual model, the Optimal Partnership for Thriving Integration, reframes how schools engage immigrant families—not as passive recipients of services but as empowered, trusted, and essential collaborators in education.Together, she and Dr. Conner explore how schools can evolve their culture—not just structurally but emotionally—to build durable ecosystems of access, trust, and healing for students and their families. At the center of this journey: authenticity, radical listening, and a commitment to meeting families exactly where they are, while preparing all students, especially Generation Alpha and Beta, for an unknown but exciting future shaped by AI and workforce transformation.What you'll learn from this episode: Bold leadership means leaning into discomfort to serve a greater purpose.  Support for families is system design—not an afterthought.  Immigrant families want access, growth, and connection—so how are we listening? Trust and relationships are the real curriculum of school leadership.  Culture isn't declared—it's co-constructed through presence and modeling. AI + workforce prep begins by demystifying tech and amplifying student voice. Dr. Brenda Garcia Castro reminds us: the future of equitable education is personal, purposeful, and possible—when we meet it with heart and rigor. This episode is a stirring reminder that education systems can, and must, be designed for all to thrive. It's time to redefine success not just by test scores, but by the depth of belonging, access, and opportunity each child experiences.Subscribe and share to continue driving the future of education for all.

What does it mean to be a parent in the age of AI?On this episode of Voices for Excellence, Dr. Michael Conner is joined by Kunal Dalal, a visionary educator, founder of AI Parentology, and one of today's most important thinkers shaping the intersection of artificial intelligence and learning. With roots in both classroom teaching and education innovation, Kunal is not just exploring how AI can transform education—he's modeling it in deeply human and personal ways.From building micro-schools inspired by his own child's learning to facilitating rich, AI-infused family experiences that teach solidarity, creativity, and agency, Kunal is rewriting the narrative of what education—at home and in schools—can be. Dr. Conner and Kunal unpack how AI can serve not as a replacement for human connection, but as a mirror and catalyst for more meaningful, culturally responsive, and student-centered learning.This expansive, joyful conversation looks beyond compliance-driven systems to explore how schools can reimagine themselves as laboratories of self-efficacy, equity, and innovation—while also holding space for the very real fears and complexities this moment brings.What you'll learn in this episode:Bold leadership isn't top-down—it's about followership and listening to the true architects of the future: students.Why embracing AI means leaning into uncertainty, creativity, and co-agency—not replicating factory models of the past.How micro-schools can ignite community-based innovation that's student-designed, culturally grounded, and deeply personal.How algorithmic reflections force us to confront the systemic gaps, silences, and prejudices embedded in our society—and how we must respond.The power of AI to co-create with children—using dreams, art, questions, and storytelling to spark curiosity, identity, and connection.What developers and education leaders must consider now to ensure AI tools are trained on diverse, humanizing data that truly reflects Generation Alpha & Beta.Kunal's concept of the “AI Parentologist” isn't just a title—it's an evolving framework for how families, educators, and developers can intentionally design a more just, joyful future. And it's a future Dr. Conner continues to lead toward through bold inquiry, system-level transformation, and equity-centered design.Subscribe and share to continue driving the future of education for all.

In this thought-provoking episode of Voices for Excellence, Dr. Michael Conner sits down with Rebecca Bultsma — international AI ethics researcher, Chief Innovation Officer, and co-host of AmpED to 11 — to explore what it really means to lead in the age of artificial intelligence.From Kendrick Lamar lyrics to ethical paradoxes, this conversation moves from AI strategy and governance to the human heartbeat of education. Rebecca unpacks her belief that “ethics is the seatbelt of AI strategy”—a grounding metaphor for how innovation must move fast, but never without responsibility.Together, Dr. Conner and Rebecca dive into:How ethics and strategy intersect in real-world decision-making, from boardrooms to classrooms.The VIBE Framework (Visible, Intentional, Beneficial, Earned) — Rebecca's approach to ensuring AI use in schools stays transparent and trustworthy.The coming wave of frontier models like GPT-5, Claude 4.1, and Grok 4 — and what they mean for leaders, teachers, and students.How AI agents could transform personalized learning and potentially repurpose traditional schools into community-based learning hubs.Why the next decade demands permission-to-fail leadership — cultures that value experimentation, iteration, and vulnerability over perfection.And how the learners of tomorrow — Generation Alpha and soon Generation Beta — will thrive by staying curious, unimpressed, and unapologetically human.Rebecca challenges listeners to imagine a future where education isn't confined to classrooms, grades, or standardized tests, but exists as a network of personalized experiences, guided by ethical innovation and human connection.This is more than a conversation about technology — it's a blueprint for human-centered transformation in the age of AI.

pWotD Episode 3095: 6-7 (meme) Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 174,556 views on Wednesday, 22 October 2025 our article of the day is 6-7 (meme).6-7 (pronounced "six seven"; also written as 67, 6, 7 and 6 7) is an internet meme and slang term that emerged in early 2025 on TikTok and Instagram Reels. The phrase originated from the song "Doot Doot (6 7)" by Skrilla, which became popular in video edits featuring professional basketball players, especially LaMelo Ball, who is 6 ft 7 in (2.01 meters) tall.The meme was further popularized through Overtime Elite player Taylen "TK" Kinney's repeated use of the meme. In March 2025, a boy named Maverick Trevillion became known as the "67 Kid" after a viral video showed him yelling the term at a basketball game while performing an excited hand gesture. A related meme, "41", is derived from "41 Song (Saks Freestyle)" by rapper Blizzi Boi, in which the number is repeated throughout.The meme's popularity grew among Generation Alpha, with teachers widely reporting its use among middle and elementary schoolchildren. The meme has been deemed to be part of a wider online "brain rot" phenomenon.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:57 UTC on Thursday, 23 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see 6-7 (meme) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Justin.

It's Wednesday, October 8th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark 88 countries restrict Bible access The Bible Access Initiative released a list of nations where access to the Bible is restricted. Eighty-eight countries have at least some restrictions on Bible access. The country with the most extreme restrictions is Somalia followed by Afghanistan, Yemen, and North Korea.  The Bible Access List noted, “Bible access in Somalia is not just limited; it is outlawed. Under a strict interpretation of Sharia law, it is illegal to print, import, store, or distribute Bibles.” Many of the countries with the worst restrictions are Muslim-majority nations governed by Sharia law. In 2 Timothy 2:8-9, the Apostle Paul reminds us, “Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel, for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound!” 20,000 Canadian pro-lifers stood in Life Chain An estimated 20,000 pro-lifers joined Canada's 35th annual Life Chain on Sunday. Participants took the streets across hundreds of cities in Canada. They held pro-life signs along roadways and prayed for the end of abortion. Josie Luetke with the Campaign Life Coalition told LifeSiteNews, “You see longtime, elderly activists with their walkers and lawn chairs and families with young kids running around. Life Chain is really a group effort . . . and it is a joy to see the entire pro-life movement united in this cause on this one day.” 30% of Canadian 11 to 13-year-olds open to church if invited Speaking of Canada, youth evangelism ministry OneHope released a report on the spiritual state of Generation Alpha in the country. The study covered young people between the ages of 11-13.  Forty-nine percent of respondents identified as Christian, 35% as non-religious, and 16% as other religions. Only 27% of Gen Alpha Christians qualified as committed Christians through Biblical beliefs and regular prayer and Bible reading.   Among non-religious teens, 30% said they would be open to attending a Christian church service if a friend invited them.  Trump eager to cut billions in waste and abuse during shutdown In the United States, the federal government shutdown continues as funding proposals from Republicans and Democrats keep failing in the Senate.  Democrats are withholding support for a funding bill unless it extends Obamacare subsidies. Republicans want to deal with the issue later in the year. President Donald Trump said he wants to use the shutdown to cut billions of dollars of waste, fraud and abuse.  Listen.  TRUMP: “Because of the shutdown, which I think they made a big mistake, we're able to take out billions and billions of dollars of waste, fraud and abuse. And they've handed it [to us] on a silver platter. Elon Musk: Cancel your NetFlix subscription over transgender shows Tech billionaire Elon Musk is echoing recent calls for people to cancel their Netflix subscriptions over immoral programming for children.  He posted on X last Wednesday, “Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids”.  The shares of Netflix dropped nearly 5% over the course of last week. The recent trend to cancel Netflix resulted from conservative voices exposing Netflix for pushing transgender shows on children.  More Americans perceive having kids as a blessing Pew Research released a new report showing that more people view having children as a good thing for America. Fifty-three percent of U.S. adults say that if more people choose not to have children, it will have a negative impact on the country. That percentage is up from 47% last year. Only 20% of respondents said that people choosing not to have children would be positive for America.  Among men, 59% said fewer people having children would have a negative impact. Among women, that number fell to 48%. Anniversary of William Tyndale's death for translation Bible into English And finally, this week is the anniversary of William Tyndale's death, traditionally commemorated on October 6. Tyndale faced arrest and later death in 1536 for alleged heresy. However, he had worked tirelessly to translate the Bible into English. It was his devotion to Scripture that brought him into conflict with church and civil leaders. In response to an assertion of the supremacy of the Pope, Tyndale famously said, “I defy the Pope and all his laws; and if God spares my life, ere many years, I will cause the boy that driveth the plow to know more of the Scriptures than thou dost!” Copies of Tyndale's translation were smuggled into England by the thousands. His work would form the basis of the Great Bible, edited by Miles Coverdale. It made its way into every parish church just three years after Tyndale's death. Isaiah 52:7 says, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns.'” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, October 8th, in the year of our Lord 2025, my bride Amy's 49th birthday.

In this week's podcast I was honoured to join a four-way conversation between Giovanna and Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti and Tim Logan of Future Learning Design Podcast, to celebrate the publication of Vanessa's new book, Outgrowing Modernity. Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti is author of Hospicing Modernity: Facing Humanity's Wrongs and the Implications for Social Activism which we have referenced many times on Accidental Gods.  She is also Dean of the Faculty of Education at the University of Victoria in Canada. She is a former Canada Research Chair in Race, Inequalities and Global Change and a former David Lam Chair in Multicultural Education. She is one of the co-founders of the Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures (GTDF) Arts/Research Collective, is the author of many academic papers and, with Aiden CinnamonTea, is co-author of Burnout From Humans. Most of her published articles and OpEds are available at academia.edu.Her daughter, Giovanna de Oliveira Andreotti, is a Dancer/dance teacher, GTDF member, certified Warm Data Lab host, founder of Rewiring for Reality: Cross Generational Reckoning, and an online course facilitator/co-ordinator. She holds a Bachelor's in Psychology from UBC, postgraduate certifications in Climate Psychology and Embodied Social Justice, and currently coordinates an inquiry that maps pedagogical practices addressing complexity, complicity, collapse, and accountability.This conversation took us deep into the complexity of what it means to be human at this moment when the old order is quite clearly in breakdown.  How do we use language? How do we engage with ourselves, each other and the web of life? And what is the web in a world where the first human-created silicon life is co-evolving with us.   How do we explore inter and intra-generational responses and capacity for meaning-making in a way that honours everyone, both human and beyond-human? In a world that feels ever more precarious, it was an honour and a delight to be in the company of such bright, deep minds.  Thank you to Giovanna, Vanessa and Tim - and I hope you all enjoy this as much as we did.

First off...the legislation came into force recently but was enacted some time ago (26 October 2023) under the Conservative Government but time was given for tech companies to react and for the body charged with enforcing it (Ofcom) to get its act together. As such it should be Michelle Donelan who is the target for the ire as Peter Kyle can only deal with what has been legislated. I would contend that Gareth is guilty of shooting the messenger here. Turning to age verification and the bit about a Government ID system...off the top of my head I can think of at least 5 Government Departments where I am already uniquely identified....by NI Number, Driver's Licence Number, Passport Number, UTR (Unique Taxpayer Reference), National Health Number. None of the departments/systems seem to talk to each other (except that there is a link between Passport and Driving Licence systems for the sharing of pictures) and each stores the same information about me. Given that everyone is given a NI number around the time of their 16th birthday this would seem to be the logical place for any age verification call to be made. But then again when has logic applied to anything that gets done in this country. Ian Barton on Rclone A kind of super powerful version of rsync. A command-line programme to manage files on cloud storage. It is a feature-rich alternative to cloud vendors' web storage interfaces. Over 70 cloud storage products support rclone including S3 object stores, business and consumer file storage services - as well as standard transfer protocols. Rclone has powerful cloud equivalents to the unix commands rsync, cp, mv, mount, ls, ncdu, tree, rm, and cat. Rclone's familiar syntax includes shell pipeline support, and --dry-run protection. It is used at the command line, in scripts or via its API. Users call rclone "The Swiss army knife of cloud storage" and "Technology indistinguishable from magic". I use it to download all my documents and photos to a server at home, which makes sure there are at least two backups of every document (there are two computers that each have a backup). Because rclone has so many options it can be difficult at the start. However, some Googling will usually find a script that does what you want. AJ Santos on YouTube now second only to BBC as media destination YouTube has become the UK's second most-watched media service, behind only the BBC, according to Ofcom's annual report. 20% of Generation Alpha - aged four to 15 - turn to YouTube first when switching on their SmartTV. People aged over 55 are watching nearly twice as much YouTube as they did two years ago. New-look PSC Show with me and Joe Hickey starts 1st September now Steve has retired.

You'll enjoy the conversation about Generational Differences. I know you will want to hear and share with those you know!About Dr Kimberlee Mendoza-She grew up in Southern California, but now reside in West Texas with my husband. Dr Kimberlee, is a Professor of Humanities & Leadership at Wayland Baptist University, where she teaches Leadership, Humanities, & Writing.   She is an author, playwright, communicator, and friend. Dr Kimberlee, has a PhD in Leadership Studies from Johnson University. One of my favorite hobbies is traveling to share good leadership practices with leaders throughout the U.S. She has also taught military leaders, at the Lion's Club and Chamber of Commerce, as well as several  professional developments in heath care, business, and education.Show Notes--Generational Theory: You are influenced by the culture, the movies, the music, parenting styles, and more.-Generation: A group of people who shared time and space in history that gives them a collective persona.-Dr Kimberlee's book:Teaching Squirrels: How to Reach Generation Z and Create Lasting Engagement-Link: https://a.co/d/7eLgW2y -Dr Kimberlee Mendoza's website: https://www.kimmendoza.com -What are the five types of generations?1. Greatest Generation- born 1901 to 1925.2. Silent Generation- born 1926 to 1944.3. Baby Boomers—born 1945 to 1964.4. Generation X—born 1965 to 1979.5. Generation Y—born 1980 to 1994.6. Generation Z—born 1995 to 2010.7. Generation Alpha- born 2011 to 2021.-What are some of the factors that influence a generation?1. Culture – What are the cultural outputs of an era?  Who were the greatest music artists, the best actors / actresses, the best movies, the fashion icons.? All these aspects tell us a lot about what a generation stands for; what they cared about, and how they wanted to be seen.2. Social–  What are the social structures, especially the family and parenting styles, both have a huge effect on who we are. In the United States, family structures have evolved throughout the years: from the prevalent nuclear family that most Baby Boomers are familiar with to today's multi family structures that include nuclear, blended, multi-generational, and single parent households.3. Economy – Economic booms and busts always had a huge influence on attitudes, beliefs and behaviors of a generation. 4. Political – The political context is also a significant factor especially if it includes extreme events like wars or wild card events like terrorist attacks. Think Vietnam war for Baby Boomers, or September 11th for the Millennials. These events are not only  memorable but also play  a major role in how a generation views the government and its actions. Trust is another dimension we carefully consider in generational research.5. Technology –  Constantly evolving,  technology always puts its mark on a generation. It influences every aspect of our lives including communication, mobility, learning, and so on… each generation has a few major technologies that shape their behaviors and lifestyle.MY NEW NORM Podcast-Email: mynewnorm@email.comCommunity / MERCH: www.mynewnorm.shopFaceBook: @mynewnormInstagram: @mynewnorm_podcastmynewnorm.buzzsprout.com/ / YouTube.com/@mynewnorm

Send us a textA substitute teacher reflects on how Generation Alpha differs from Gen Z and how teachers can adapt their methods accordingly. This light-hearted exploration of generational differences reveals that Alpha students are the first fully digital generation, with distinct learning preferences and world perspectives.• Fourth graders are split between Gen Z and Generation Alpha based on their birth years• Generation Alpha grew up entirely in the digital age, making them extremely tech-savvy by nature• Early childhood disruptions like COVID-19 have impacted social development and maturity• Alpha students show increased global awareness and environmental consciousness• They learn best in "gamified" environments that leverage digital engagement• Every generation faces criticism from those who came before—60s had "groovy," Gen Z has "slay"• Teachers must adapt to students rather than expecting students to conform to outdated methods• Despite concerns about entitlement or anxiety, Generation Alpha brings positive qualities to educationCheck out my Instagram where I break down Gen Z slang—I'll even play it for you at the end of this episode!

In this episode of On The Clock, host Todd Dallas Lamb sits down with Jeff McCoy, the Associate Superintendent of Greenville County Schools and a nationally recognized education leader, at the ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego. As a second-time guest—and now a proud member of the show's “two-timers club”—McCoy opens up about his career journey, his passion for public education, and the transformative power of AI in schools.McCoy shares insights from his extensive work leading one of South Carolina's largest school districts, overseeing everything from academic innovation to special education and career readiness. He reflects on the pivotal shift in K–12 education that values career and technical education (CTE) alongside college pathways, highlighting Greenville's "Graduation Plus" initiative—where over 75% of students graduate with college credits or industry certifications.The conversation dives deep into the promise and perils of artificial intelligence, where McCoy emphasizes the need for "ethical AI" in the classroom. He challenges schools to teach responsible use of emerging tools while avoiding further exacerbation of opportunity gaps for underserved students.Looking ahead, McCoy discusses his new role as Chief Education Officer at ERDI, a national organization connecting edtech innovators with education leaders.

Dr. Wendy Rote is joining me to unpack some surprising and even counterintuitive findings about kids, smartphones, and social media. She and her team are in the middle of a groundbreaking longitudinal study following tweens over time, giving us rare insight into how technology is shaping the mental health and identity development of Generation Alpha.   Together we explore:   Why the question “Is social media making kids depressed?” might be the wrong one to ask and what we should be asking instead. A finding that might shock you: Kids with smartphones actually show better physical and mental health outcomes in some key areas. What kind of social media behaviors are linked to more depressive symptoms and why it's not as simple as “time spent online.” How compulsive checking could be a major mental health red flag that parents often miss. New, not-yet-published finding on the real impact school cell phone bans have been shown to have on kids. Why do some kids without phones actually report more cyberbullying and what that might reveal about exclusion and social dynamics? The one tech rule that makes the biggest difference in kids' well-being that has a greater impact that time limits and parental control setting.   If you've ever worried about screen time, debated a phone ban, or felt unsure how to support your child's relationship with tech, this conversation will give you fresh perspective, surprising data, and tangible guidance rooted in real research.   LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Breaking the Silence with host Dr. Gregory Williams Guest, Katherine Davis-Gibbon, a publisher, certified yoga and Pilates teacher and author of Words Katherine is an award-winning children's book author, publisher, certified yoga and Pilates teacher, and mother of two Generation Alpha kids. She founded Riverlet Press in 2021. as a platform for books that illuminate and enrich the child's inner life. Her debut book, "My Old Friend, Then" received praise from critics, teachers, therapists and parents, as well as receiving many awards. Her latest book, "Words" help children learn the power of words and how to communicate better. Don't forget to check out Katherine's book: "Words" Short description of "Words" from Amazon: A multicultural group of children discovers a park where everyone's words come to life―and look and behave a lot like kids. Some words are kinder and more inviting, while others are pushy or prickly or odd. Not every word makes the best first impression, but as they play and share adventures, the children connect more deeply with language. They learn that words have superpowers and grow to love them for their quirks. They see that words make excellent friends, who magically appear when they're needed and perfectly mirror how kids feel. The more these children bond with language, the more they tap into their inner voice―and as they dare to give it expression, they gain more respect for the power of words. This book, which was named a Distinguished Favorite in the 2025 Independent Press Awards, is ideal for developing readers, who will relish the process of sounding out words and spotting those they already know―who will see themselves in this cast of characters, thus developing greater self-awareness and empathy for their peers, as well. Parents, teachers, librarians, and therapists can use this book for social-emotional learning, as it playfully nurtures a love of language while reminding children to treat words with care.

Andrew predicts Generation Alpha's children will likely rebel against technology, viewing phone use the way we now view cigarettes — as an obviously harmful habit.Community connection matters more than material success.
