Show Summary:How do we help kids make better decisions, such as in STEM challenges? In this episode of The STEM Space, we're joined by Ramin Mohajer and Alison Stumacher from the Alliance for Decision Education. Ramin, a former corporate attorney turned nonprofit leader, is the Deputy Director of Organizational Development and believes students need cognitive tools—not just rules—to manage choices like screen time. Alison, a longtime educator, now works as the Deputy Director of Education to bring Decision Education into classrooms to help students navigate choices in school, relationships, and life.Enjoy this thought-provoking conversation that may spark new ways to support your students as confident, capable decision-makers.About Ramin Mohajer:Ramin, Deputy Director of Organizational Development at the nonprofit Alliance for Decision Education, believes that decision-making skills are the missing piece in this conversation.

Send us a textIn this episode, I am sharing how every morning is like a battle for all mothers like me to prepare their kids for school. When the alarm goes off, and instantly, it's Mom vs. Morning. From the moment my feet hit the floor, I'm juggling so many tasks—waking up my daughter, negotiating breakfast choices, and racing against the clock. The struggle of getting my daughter ready for school sometimes feels like a whirlwind of chaos. No matter how much I plan the night before, it seems there's always something that catches me off guard—a lost shoe, an unexpected meltdown, or even my exhaustion. There are days I question if I am winning this battle. But through all the madness, I have learned to find small victories. A five-minute head start, a pre-packed lunch, or even a moment of calm over breakfast makes the difference. I remind myself that every mom faces her version of this morning's madness, and while it may feel overwhelming, we're stronger than we think. The key is accepting that it's okay if things don't go perfectly every day. Each morning is a new chance to reset and try again.So, if you are out there, racing through your morning like me—know that you are not alone. We are all in this together, fighting to win the battle of getting our kids ready for school, one messy morning at a time. I am sure you will love this episode and also would like to listen to all the experiences you are having while making your kids ready for school.

As the twig is bent so grows the tree." This early 18th century proverbial saying means early influences can have a permanent impact.

Strap in for an enlightening journey with our guest Dr. Amy Bantham, as we uncover the vital yet often overlooked role fitness professionals can play in engaging youth through non-sport physical activities. In a discussion brimming with passion and expertise, Amy shares insights from her book, "Move to Live More," painting a vivid picture of how health and fitness centers can transform into community beacons of whole child health and wellness. This episode casts a spotlight on the scarcity of inclusive environments for youth movement. It's more than just fitness; it's about creating a foundation for lifelong physical literacy, where every child has the opportunity to see themselves as an athlete, regardless of skill level. We delve into the transformative work of individuals and organizations, who are revolutionizing the way young people perceive exercise by pairing foundational skills with positivity and the sheer joy of moving. Amy's book, "Move to Live More" is a call to action for fitness professionals, parents, and caregivers alike to rally behind our youth, making movement an inviting and fun part of their daily lives.

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms
We're doing a "Deep Dive" into our past episodes about "getting our kids to...," from listening to what we say the first time, to talking to us about what matters most to them. Find the rest of the episodes in this deep dive series in this Spotify playlist. How do we get our kids to listen to us and do as we ask, without too many tears on either side? Here are some parenting tips for encouraging cooperation in kids (and modeling it ourselves.) Our listener Alison asked: I would love some insight into engaging the cooperation of my two boys, 5 and almost 3 years old. At what age is it reasonable to expect them to put away their toys, stay seated for meals, get in the bath without mind games, and get ready for bed in less than 60 minutes? They are capable, but rarely willing, and 8 out of 10 times it's an ordeal. We have routines, we announce transitions in advance, we give them choices and even try to make it fun, but I feel like I am either haranguing them constantly or seething with resentment or both. Do I just accept this is the season of my life? Is cooperation 2 out of 10 times a victory? Getting kids who are younger than three to "do their share" without a lot of coaxing and singing and clapping is pretty tough. Then when they're about six, kids' "fairness radar" kicks in, and they're much less focused on loading the dishwasher than on complaining about who is not currently helping. So there are roadblocks to kids' cooperation, to be sure, and in this episode we discuss: whether "whistling while they work" might be too much to ask how "connecting before directing" works for older kids how we can model cooperation and hope our kids get the hint. (It's worth a shot.)
