Giving the gift of relational JOY!Dan and I are continuing to build joy by working through Chris and Jen Coursey's 30 Days of Joy: For Busy Married Couples. Many couples get so obsessed with their needs and focus on "the marriage" that they wonder, "Do you even like this person anymore?" What do you like about your spouse?"Love is commanded by Scripture, but like is a choice.In Coursey's book, they said one exercise is to tell each other what you like about each other and whether your spouse calls you to your Christ-like identity. Today, we will talk about relational circuits (RCs) and when they are on and off. Can you tell the difference when they are on and off?You cannot build joy without your RCs on!

The Christian life is no anti-climax. Jesus invites us to life in all its fullness.When Jesus calls Peter to ‘come follow me' he doesn't leave Peter in the dark.

Imagine life in Vinton County, Ohio—13,000 people spread across 450 square miles, with little in the way of resources. No Kroger, Giant Eagle or other big box stores, only Family Dollar and Dollar General stores. No emergency medical center. Just one health center with a single dentist who's booked six to nine months out, and one or two primary care physicians. No behavioral care physician, no obstetrician, no optometrist. Why not solve the problem with telemedicine? Because much of the county doesn't have sufficient internet, and many people can't afford a laptop. The residents earn just enough to not qualify for Medicaid but not enough to be self-sufficient. Somehow, these people—endowed with resilience and grit—get by and largely because of a county health department that advocates for them. Margaret Demko, the county's Family & Children First Coordinator and Help Me Grow program manager talks with us about how she identifies needs and then finds ways to provide the means to address those needs. It's not easy work. Listen to what it takes to provide public health care in a county that has little.

If we think about the kind of friend, spouse, care provider, boss or public leader we want, we probably would name empathy as an essential quality. Empathy encompasses seeing through another's eyes (cognitive empathy), feeling what that person feels (emotional empathy) and taking action that is attuned to that person's feelings (compassionate empathy). But how does someone become empathic? At what age are children first capable of empathy? And what is the role of parents and other adults in nurturing empathy as children develop?     In this episode of Mom Enough, Dr. Megan Gunnar, professor in the University of Minnesota's Institute of Child Development, joins Marti & Erin to discuss early signs of empathy in infancy, the growing capacity for compassionate empathy in the toddler period, and simple, practical ways parents can encourage and expand children's empathy in everyday interactions at every stage. Nurturing empathy is one of the most important things we can do to help our children grow up to be the kind of people we hope they will be. And it is one powerful way we can be leaders in making the world a better place for all! Thank you to Mom Enough's longtime supporting partner Help Me Grow for bringing this episode to you.   IN WHAT WAYS ARE YOU NURTURING EMPATHY IN YOUR CHILDREN? Thinking of children in your family, when did you first notice signs of empathy in them? What have you done (or could you do) to help them develop and use what Dr. Gunnar calls “compassionate empathy”? And what steps can your whole family take to deepen your empathy toward all, even people who seem different from you in background, experience or beliefs?   WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT EMPATHY? ❉ THE DANISH WAY OF PARENTING: AN INTERVIEW WITH JESSICA JOELLE ALEXANDER. Denmark has frequently been ranked as one of the happiest countries in the world. It is a culture that celebrates togetherness and hygge (cozy conviviality), teaches empathy, and believes children should have a voice and be respected. All of these factors play a part in how Danes parent. Tune into this Mom Enough episode with Jessica Joelle Alexander, best-selling author of The Danish Way of Parenting: What the Happiest People in the World Know About Raising Confident, Capable Kids.   ❉ HELPING CHILDREN BUILD EMPATHY: A DISCUSSION WITH UNSELFIE AUTHOR, MICHELE BORBA. When people ask author and educational psychologist Michele Borba what kids need to be successful and happy, she confidently proclaims, “Empathy!” And yet, our popular culture, with its emphasis on “I” and “me” seems to fly in the face of empathy as a core value. We've all seen kids and adults alike constantly snapping “selfies” to document their every move. What other factors have contributed to these changes? And, most importantly, what can we do now as parents, teachers and other caring adults to make sure children build this important quality of empathy from the earliest years? Dr. Borba joins Marti & Erin for a rich discussion in this Mom Enough episode. Tune in to hear her practical strategies for putting empathy front and center in your child's life and in the life of your whole family.   ❉ RAISING FEMINIST BOYS: DR. BOBBI WEGNER DISCUSSES GENDER, SEX & EMPATHY. Psychologist and author, Dr. Bobbi Wegner joins Marti & Erin for a compelling conversation on the importance of teaching our children — and especially our sons — about sex, consent, identity, gender, and empathy.

In episode 3, Shontee mentions a class she took called the Circle of Security, which she was referred to through SCIMHA's Help Me Grow program. The hosts hear from Dr. Mackenzie Soniak about her work in IECMH, what the Circle of Security Program is, and how the parenting group can positively alter relationships between caregivers and children.This series is proudly supported by the South Carolina Infant Mental Health Association.

As our children grow, we may wonder if their growth, development, and learning are on track. Early milestones -- a baby's smile, the first steps, early words -- are often celebrated. Yet, developmental delays are very common, affecting close to 1 in 4 children ages zero to five years. So, why is it so important to track developmental milestones? And, what are the milestones?   Tune in to hear Dr. Jennifer Hall-Lande as she outlines the four domains of development and highlights key developmental delays parents might see, so they can track their child's development and act early if they have concerns. She also discusses how culture and individual difference influence development. If you have or care for a child ages zero to five years, you won't want to miss this important Mom Enough episode brought to you by Help Me Grow Minnesota.   IS YOUR CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT ON TRACK? Visit the Help Me Grow Minnesota website and take a look at the information and videos on developmental milestones for a child the age of yours.

How can you tell if your baby or young child's development is on track? And where do you turn if you are unsure? What can you do if you have concerns about your child's development? And where can you access free early childhood screening and intervention as needed?   Thanks to supporting partner Help Me Grow Minnesota, Dr. Heather Mueller, Commissioner of Education, joins Marti & Erin for a discussion every parent should hear. Early identification and intervention are key to successful learning for many of our children, including some in Marti & Erin's family. Just as public education is free to all children in Minnesota, so too is early childhood screening, assessment, and intervention, regardless of a family's income, zip code, ethnicity, or immigration status. If intervention is needed, it is provided at home, in childcare, or wherever the child spends the day. Families are central to each step of planning and service delivery, with their needs, wishes and priorities informing the goals of intervention. As Commissioner Mueller emphasizes, this is not only in the interest of the child and family being served, but it is in all our interest to have every child be educated in a way that allows them to fulfill their potential. When children succeed, our communities succeed.   IS YOUR CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT ON TRACK? Visit Help Me Grow's website and look closely at developmental milestones for your child's age. What can you learn here about the extent to which your child's development is on track? Do you see differences among the various domains of development? Now look at information on the site about how to arrange for your child to have a developmental screening. Even if you don't have concerns, screening is a free and helpful way to learn more about your child's development and how you can support your child's growth and learning across all domains.   IS YOUR CHILD MEETING THEIR DEVELOPMENTAL MILESTONES? ❉ Help Me Grow.

Language development in infants and young children is a critical foundation of literacy, school achievement, positive social relations and regulating emotions. Language is the key to thought. This is true for all children, including those who are bilingual and those who are deaf and hard of hearing and learning sign language.   This week's Mom Enough guest, Dr. Susan Outlaw, is Executive Director of Metro Deaf School in St. Paul, Minnesota. She brings expertise in language development, whatever the language of the child and family, drawing on 25 years of teaching, administration, and teacher preparation. Susan offers empowering guidance and practical tips for how to support your child's optimal language development -- talking to your babies long before they can talk back, reading books aloud and connecting the content to your child's own life, introducing new words beyond your child's current ability, playing board games, and making mealtime conversation time. Susan also talks about how to know if your child's language development is on track or if a professional language evaluation, and possibly extra support or early intervention, might be needed to help the child reach necessary milestones. Marti and Erin are grateful to Help Me Grow, a longtime supporting partner of Mom Enough, for sponsoring this rich conversation with Dr. Outlaw on such an important topic in early childhood learning and development.     WHAT WILL YOU DO TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD'S LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT?   What are the ages of babies or children in your family or your school, if you are an early childhood teacher? Think of ordinary activities throughout the day for those children. What could you talk about with the children during those times? What word games or rhymes or songs could you make up while preparing a meal, getting dressed to go outside, or tucking a child in at naptime? Think of three new words you could teach children and help them learn to use them in the right situation (like the example Marti gave about teaching Erin the useful word “ambivalent” when she was about three years old).     WANT TO LEARN MORE?   ❉EARLY LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT: INTEGRATING LANGUAGE LEARNING INTO EVERYDAY LIFE. Long before children enter formal education, they are constantly learning from parents and other caring adults who interact with them through language stimulation. Before they even begin to speak, babies are making sense of language, building a vocabulary and developing conversational patterns. So, to make sure our children have this important foundation, do we need to be fluent in English, have a house full of books or know formal teaching strategies? Dr. Alisha Wackerle-Hollman shares reassuring answers to these questions and more.   ❉PROMOTING LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT IN CHILDREN: INSIGHTS AND GUIDANCE. Language skills are essential to academic learning, positive relationships and clear thinking. Parents have a crucial role in promoting language development in children through simple, everyday interactions from infancy to adulthood, whether or not English is the primary language at home and whether or not a child is bilingual. Dr. Maria Sera shares research-based information to help you provide a solid language foundation for your child's needs.  

Back after a two week break, we discuss the latest news in the 3 years plus investigation led by John Durham as well as several other noteworthy topics from the past few years that should have conservative Christians reevaluating our trusted news sources and recommitting to apply biblical standards of truth to our news consumption and political commitments.

It's so hard to know, and I hate using this word, but what is considered and I'm quote, unquote, normal childhood development from birth through the toddler years and what are signs of what might be a developmental issue?  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Sure. So like you said, there's, you don't want to pin people too much into normal and abnormal. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And I do think a lot of parents these days really look at these trackers and milestone sheets and get nervous sometimes if their kids aren't doing exactly what said. So given that there's a big range of normal there are some good guides. You can go on, like the CDC has a milestone guide that you can go on.  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: But basically, babies around six weeks of age, start to do a little bit of a social smile back at you, which is very nice and some cooing. And then around six months of age, they started to include some consonants like Baba, dada, Gaga. And then their language starts to sound like a foreign language that you can't understand. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Like they say. But they're definitely telling you something and it's cute. And then you can go back and forth and say, oh really? I like that too. And then they chat back and forth with you. And then around a year, you start to get the sense that they understand you pretty well. So you could say something about their shoe and they look at their shoe or the dog, and they look at the dog. Or you say it's time to eat and they get excited. Susan Stone: So the receptive language needs to come in. Does it need to come in or does come in before the expressive language?  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Always the receptive language comes before the expressive. And also if they're receptive language, is there. I have parents quiz their kids a little bit. If they're reading a book to the kid and they say, where's the dog ear, where's the tree. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Or, you know, on their own body, where's your head, where's your tummy, where's your toes. Then they know those words. They know head tummy, toes, even if they can't say the words. And if they know the words, then you don't have to worry so much if they're late talkers.  Susan Stone: Before we move on, I just would have a question because I've heard a controversy about this. Crawling: is it a milestone or not? Do you have to crawl before you walk? Or can you skip it and scoot, and then walk because I've been hearing that it actually is important for that child's brain development to have that cross lateral motion.  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Yeah. I mean, I think you're right, that there is some controversy about it. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And most kids do crawl before they walk. But there are some, I've definitely had some patients who do this thing I call the sit in, scoot and they sit and they do this funny thing with their legs and their knees and they get themselves around. A lot of times, I think it's kids who have older siblings and they don't see the older siblings crawling, but they see the older siblings walking. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: So they are, and they don't see the, so they see the older kids sitting and they see the older kid walking and they just kind of sit and zoom around. And then they are dying to stand up and walk. But I do think probably if you talk to a physical therapist, they would say what you said about it's important to have the cross lateral motion, et cetera, et cetera. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: But I, the kids I've had who sit in, scoot and stand and run seem to be doing fine. But most kids do crawl before. Yeah. So in terms of the gross motor development, they, they roll route between four and six months and sit on their own around six months. Then they get from sitting into the crawling position around seven to eight months and pulling to stand at nine months and then usually taking some independent steps between 12 months and 15 months. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And then look out. They're running and climbing and getting into everything.  Kristina Supler: Zizzy, one last question on this discussion of, basically birth to early toddler, developmental milestones. What about speech? At what age should your child articulate their first word?  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Right? So that's, that's usually between 12 and 15 months that they're saying, and they, they call it a w sometimes a word approximation. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: So like, they'll say 'ba' that means bottle or bubble or baby or ball. But you see them looking at the ball and they say BA, and you're like, yes, that's your ball. And it is good to fill it out as cute as this stuff is that they say try to say the real word that they're trying to say. Cause then that'll help them say the real word. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And then usually by 15, 18 months, they start to really pile up the vocabulary. And that's right around when like 15 to 18 months, if they're not hitting those milestones, the pediatric there's usually a 15 month visit and an 18 month visit the pediatrician. If there's any concerns that the child is not first of all understanding. Cause that's the most important thing that they're, that they're not understanding language or they're not trying to communicate. Then the pediatrician would probably recommend some more evaluation.  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And one good first step is something called Help Me Grow, which is a free service through the county that sends a team of people, usually one person to start, but to your house and can do an assessment. And if the child needs any extra help, they can do speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy. They're amazing. Susan Stone: Talk about what is normal play because, who said "Play is the work of a child"? The founder of the movement. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Yeah. I mean that, that's their job, right. Their job is to play. And I do think that's important for parents to remember. Because especially nowadays everything is, am I giving my kid enough stimulation? Are they doing enough classes? Are they in enough things? Gonna teach them their foreign language? But really they just sort of need a Tupperware and a spoon and a paper towel tube, and they'd be happy. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: You know, you remember like the example of, you know, on the holidays when the kids are unwrapping the presents. They like the wrapping paper better than the presents half the time. So a lot of open-ended play. I am a big fan of, things where the toy can be played with many different ways. My favorite present for a toddler is, is, a set of blocks that are in multiple shapes, like the squares and rectangles and the triangles and circles. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And there is some good studies to show that for girls, if they play with more blocks and puzzles, they're going to be better at math in the end. Because it will help them with sort of geometry down the road and they can, the kids can play with it very open-ended.  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Like my, I had two daughters and they love to build houses for their stuffed animals with the blocks. And then we'd have boys over and they'd build ramps for cars with the blocks. And, you can do a lot of different things with them, but you don't have to do what the package says. Cause they're, open-ended. Susan Stone: What's abnormal play? Yeah. What would be assigned if you look at a child, do you agree that if you see the child, let's say lining the blocks up in a line, should you be freaking out what grade?  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Yeah. That I would say no. You know, that, that alone a lot of kids like to line stuff up. No, certainly there are some kids on the autistic spectrum that can get very, into certain, certain toys and having them in a certain way. But that, that wouldn't be like the major red flag. Usually it's a little bit more of in terms of autism that they're not understanding you. They're not wanting to communicate. There's poor eye contact. There's sort of more to it than that. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And then they may have some like hand flapping motions, but, uh, but that can also be in the neuro-typical range too. Like the kids get excited. So it, for autism it's tricky because it's, there's a lot of things that, that can be normal or can be on the spectrum and you have to kind of put the whole package together. Kristina Supler: Zizzy, many of our clients, our students on the spectrum of all different ages, and it's not unusual for students to come to us families, I should say. And, and there's some challenges the students experiencing. And, after some more digging and evaluation and meeting with various professionals, the child is diagnosed as having, autism being on the autism spectrum.  Kristina Supler: So you've, you've mentioned some red flags or signs or behaviors for parents to look for. Is there a certain age when this issue of autism should really be on the radar of parents or a certain age when a child can really be evaluated for autism? Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Yeah, I mean, I guess I would say 15 months, you can, I'll sometimes start to get a little wondering about it. But then I usually try to give them til 18 months to pull everything together. But around 18 months, if they're not pointing at things, if they're not understanding you, if they're not, if they're not trying to communicate, then I would, I would start the evaluation at that age. Because number one, early intervention is huge. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And, and can really help a child out. And then unfortunately there's waiting lists for a lot of these things. If you have any concerns, it's much better to get referred to a, to a development. For mean, you usually start with a speech therapist, but then if there's more concerns to get referred, we'll talk to your pediatrician, but then get referred to a developmental pediatrician. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And that could sometimes take several months to get in. And I'd love to have that done by two. So that then if the child was eligible for some early intervention preschool there's, as you guys know, there's some finances involved in it. And so it's good to get that. I would say try to get it done, or at least started by two. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And then by three, for sure. Cause that's a lot of times when the preschool start is at three and everything just takes times.  Susan Stone: Everything takes time. That's great advice. Well, we're going to leave the baby years and get to elementary school, which I kind of consider the golden years of having children because second graders.  Susan Stone: It was Kristina and I, this year got certified in positive discipline. Because frankly we wanted to be able to talk to our clients because we have a lot of meltdowns from students that we represent because they're under so much pressure. And we kind of want to focus early on what is considered normal acting out though versus early signs of ADD or oppositional defiant disorder.  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Well, what I would say is in those, in that three to five year age group, There, they talk about like two-year-olds and temper tantrums, you know, you sort of expect some temper tantrums from two year olds and even three-year-olds are pretty, you may have heard of the term threenager. So two year olds, they're not always able to communicate so well, but they do have their needs. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And often if they're hungry and tired, they just completely fall on the ground crying. And one of your guests, like, I can't remember. I think it was the the positive episode on positive discipline. They talked about how the, some of the main reasons why children's misbehave or being hungry and tired. And I really do believe that's the case.  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: So I am a big fan of getting them enough sleep and then trying to make sure they're eating food with protein and fat. Because if they just eat their carbs, which they love. And the crackers and the noodles.  Susan Stone: I love goldfish  Kristina Supler: is smiling because you're saying the main reason for misbehavior among children is being hungry and tired. Kristina Supler: And I think the same is probably true for adults as well. Of course, excluding present company.  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Yeah, of course. I remember. I remember one time literally. Yelling full volume yelling at my daughter. And I said, "You're acting like a child." Kristina Supler: No, mom, you are. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: She actually was a child. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: I  Susan Stone: see the signs of ADD and ODD. Because we deal with those issues and when they become difficult issues.  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Sure. Yeah. Technically speaking, you're not even supposed to diagnose ADD until six years old. Just from the criteria, but there definitely are families where the one parent has it, a sibling has it. And the kid is just running around the room, just tearing the place up. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Where you kind of know they're going down that path. But typically I don't recommend diagnosing until six. But occupational therapy is actually the first step in helping children with ADHD bef you know, before you get, even get into medication. So I would definitely refer a kid who's in the, the three to five range who can not sit still and having a hard time paying attention to occupational therapy as a first step, towards either helping them mature and helping them, get things together. Or if not a first step in kind of treatment. And then oppositional defiant disorder is probably a little out of my realm of diagnosis. Kristina Supler: What about this hypothetical? You have a family, uh, with a child who's five or six. You, the family doesn't go to restaurants because the child just restaurants, it's like sensory overload. For whatever reason, the child can't handle the restaurant. Struggled to have play dates. The child just doesn't listen. Kristina Supler: Boundaries. Parents just struggled to have boundaries and in parents sort of get to that breaking point where, oh my gosh, I'm at my wit's end. You know, the mother or father, what do I do? My child doesn't listen. I have to make my child listen. I'm going to spank them. Cause that's the only thing my child responds to. Kristina Supler: What is your in of course, recognize that spanking is controversial. I mean, do you have thoughts on that for discipline?  Susan Stone: My parents deny it, but I was spanked. They'll deny it, guys..  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Although, luckily, luckily I do feel like that doesn't come up that much anymore. I do feel like people have just kind of started to realize that spanking just doesn't work. Because then the children will just start hitting either you or their siblings. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: But I just don't feel like in the last 10 years that has really come up that much, or maybe people are just not admitting it. But I feel like, I feel like that message has kind of gotten to people that's that hitting a child doesn't in the end make anything better besides the short term, you know, they'll be scared. Susan Stone: Time Outs don't work either. I got to tell you, they did not today when everybody has such a great bedroom or just. It never worked on my kids time out.  Susan Stone: Or they stood on the stairs. Okay. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: I tried to do it a little bit, like for the young kids, the kids that are, pre-verbal like, kind of in the one to two year range where they're hitting. I just try to do timeouts, usually just for hitting and biting. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: The two big baddies, I call it like a sports analogy, like the flagrant foul, if they really are doing something. Cause you know, there's kind of like the, the noodling and the poking and the pestering. But like if they walk up to the brother and just whack them on the head, that has to be addressed. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And I try to tell people that you just pick up the child. You say don't use the word. No, because they love to say no. And you just say. You're hitting hurts. Your biting hurts. You're having a timeout. You hold them in your lap, facing out, close your eyes and count just to have read many seconds they are old. You know, 60 seconds for a year, 120 for two years. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And that's it. And then it's done. There's no lecture. There's no sermon. There's no step. There's no chasing them. There's no sending them to the room. It's that quick.  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And if you can kind of stick with that for a couple of weeks and have all the caregivers do it, which is tough, the babysitter, the grandparents, then they usually don't they, then they usually phase out that, that behavior.  Kristina Supler: Well, we, we so often, you know, you hear this idea of like, it, it, it all starts at home. And it's so true. There's of course exceptions and, and unique challenges and circumstances that influence child development. But more often than not, if you spank, you might get a kid who hits. You yell at your kids, you're going to, you know, foster that behavior and your child's gonna yell at others.  Kristina Supler: And so I think it's, it's really good for parents to think about that. Of how their behavior, you know, is a model for, for children and of course we all have room improvement. Susan Stone: Right. I want to, I want to challenge you. I think that's all well and good. But I have Dean, especially in my special education practice, a real uptick and kids who just can't calm down. We have been fighting for placements that were never thought of such as wilderness therapy never thought of in the elementary school ages. Susan Stone: I think since COVID, the behaviors are getting much worse. I think parents are on edge. And I think all parents are doing what they can do. And I think in the past that might've been right, Kristina. But I'm going to challenge both of you on that. What do you do when you have a really out of control kid and you yourself are on your last piece of gas in your tank? Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Right. Well, that was even where Kristina started out, you know, the child who can't go to the restaurant, can't do play dates, having a hard time. I mean, that's definitely outside the normal realm. And then you, I think you really do need help, you know, and I usually have people start with getting a pediatric psychologist involved. Sometimes even just to work with the parent and then coach the parent through how to manage things or what is, you know, a lot of times children with anxiety show up as being oppositional. You know, they're, they're stubborn. Beyond belief, but it turns out it's stemming from anxiety and they're so afraid or frightened that they just don't want to do whatever it is. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: So, so if, if you are feeling that you're at the end of your rope, it's time to call out for help. So check with your pediatrician. Try to get in with the child psychologist to help. And then sometimes they do need, a special education situation, like pep, like the positive education program for we've had, I've had some patients there where the children couldn't handle themselves in a regular school setting and they went into something like that. And then did and did really well. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: But right. I mean, there certainly are some kids who are not managing with the typical advice. And so if, if the typical advice isn't working that is often a sign that maybe there is something more going on now.  Susan Stone: I think I want to do a shout out to our readers. It, I love what you said, Zizzy. If you feel that normal intervention is not working. Susan Stone: Don't blame yourself. Get help. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Right. Right. Cause probably there's something more going on with that kid. When the regular advice, I did have one parent and she tries every last thing and the kid was so bright that it took a while to diagnose. At first they thought it was anxiety. Then they thought it was ADHD, but then it turned out it was autism as well. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: But the child is so bright that he kind of. Kind of tricked to everybody.  Kristina Supler: It seems so often it's really important for parents to listen to their gut instincts. And when being told, you know, oh, your child is tired, moody, whatever. There's, there's nothing wrong. Cause. She gets great grades. He's thriving on the standardized testing. But you feel like something is not right. Kristina Supler: Something is not right. It just, in our experience, it's so essential for parents to, to hold onto their gut instinct and keep digging and not settle, or rest, even when there's schools or maybe even a pediatrician and people saying, no, it's fine. It's fine. You're, you're a hypersensitive helicopter parents. But you know, those parenting instincts often serve as well. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Right. I, I, a hundred percent agree with that. My best teacher in residency told me that, you can do all the blood tests and MRIs and everything, but basically listen to the parent. Because if the parent has a concern for the most part, your job is to really dig into that concern and figure out what's going on. Because no parent really wants there to be a problem with their kid. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: So if they're saying that they're worried, usually there's something to it now. I mean, certainly there can be exceptions and there can be some people that worry about things that are really fine and reassurance. There's a, there's a rule for reassurance, but I do agree. Most of the time really do have a great sense of their own kid. Susan Stone: So what is the, I have a really interesting question that we all sort of led down this path. And then with those high functioning, autistic children, they're verbal early. They can really trick the system and they need early intervention. What would be the early signs to prepare us and that more high functioning level. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: So that's, that's true. I mean, they're T they're tricky. That, that may be a little bit past me, but there, I think it's, I think it's, again, maybe the social piece. Are they interacting with peers? Are they, are they doing reciprocal play? Cause the kids go from the parallel play around two to between three and five they do the, the communal play where they're pretending to cook together or are they're pretending to be on a boat and on a trip. And, and they're having to communicate with each other in order to play.  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And so if the kid really can't do that and some kids on the spectrum want to do things their own way with their own script, and they only want to talk about a certain toy or movie or something like that, but won't listen to what the other kid wants to do. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: So I guess, especially with they're really verbal kid, but they're just not listening to the other kid. They're not taking the other kids' ideas and going with it. That I think that could be one of the big red flags for the very intelligent, very verbal kid who turns out to be on the spectrum. Okay.  Susan Stone: So Kristina, why don't you, uh, launch our next topic.  Kristina Supler: No pun intended. So let's fast forward. Now we we've talked about the early years. Let's move down the line and talk about teenagers. Okay. So students, perhaps college kids. Zizzy, I believe you've indicated that, you listened to our episode with Dr. Mark McConville author of "Failure to Launch" who is such a pleasure to have on as a guest. And he's just so respected and knowledgeable and offered such good wisdom and insight and in guidance.  Kristina Supler: For those parents sort of wrestling with the issue of how to foster independence and responsibility and they're high school students, they're teens. So that come time to head off to college in the fall. Kristina Supler: It's not a total disaster where the kids sleeping in late; spending too much money partying and all of a sudden the straight A student is getting F's. So what can parents do? What tips or, or strategies could you offer to help parents, began to foster those, important skills of independence and responsibility very early on to avoid the failure to launch situation. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And I did think that was a great episode. I highly recommend it for your listeners who haven't heard it. One thing that I sort of wish I had started a little earlier with my kids. So I'll say it for everybody else, but it is probably a good idea to start chores early on, like in the three to five-year-old range. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And it doesn't have three, doesn't have to be something huge, but it could be, you know, helping clean up toys, helping sort the laundry, set the table, they love to clean. So giving them a rag and clean. Yeah. And the Swiffers, you know, and the little even they make these funny little vacuum cleaners that kids can run that actually do pick up dirt and they love. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: So they like that. And then in elementary school they can help take care of animals. They can help with the garbage, they can clean bathrooms. And then like in Montessori, the kids all make their own snack. And they can with a knife that you get from takeout, like a plastic knife, they can cut cucumbers and they can help make the salad. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: They do like to help with meal prep. And then I have a lot of patients whose kids pack their lunch for school. And they have a little algorithm. You know, you need a protein, you need a grain, you need a fruit and veggie. And they have them kind of set up in the fridge and little zones in the fridge. And the kids pack their lunch and they fill each little, you know, section of their lunch. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And they're, so they're starting with good nutrition and they're starting with meal meal responsibility too. And then the  Kristina Supler: whole notion of just the simple task of pet, well, simple for an adult packing, a lunch involving school-aged child in that there's so many lessons in there. Executive function, planning, nutrition, all of that, just personal responsibility. Kristina Supler: That's a really great tip for our listeners.  Susan Stone: I've always had my children help with Friday night dinner.  Kristina Supler: And that's another example. .  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Right. Like helping with cooking so that then when they get, when they get older, they can, be cooking some for themselves.  Susan Stone: My daughter, when she went to college was shocked to learn that she was the only person who really could not only cook, but she's an excellent cook. Susan Stone: And I take for granted the time I spend with my children, teaching them to be good cooks.  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Yeah, so that's a good one. And then I'm, I'm also a huge advocate of parents getting out of the homework business. I really feel like starting in middle school, it should be, it should be between the child and the teacher, and it is not your job to know what the homework is and to check the homework and all of that and let the teacher do it and let the teacher know what's happening before they get to high school. Because the grades in middle school are so important. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: So if they mess up a few things, it's okay. And, but then they're in charge of their own homework. Now I know it's easier said than done, and it's obviously easier with the more motivated kid. And if your kid isn't that motivated, you may have to be involved a little bit. But I would try to take some step back steps back in middle school with regard to homework. Susan Stone: I have questions on that. Susan Stone: One is though for my younger child. Now, if they go to school, There's an app and they alert you and it's like, I turned it off. I don't want to know my daughter's not turning in her homework. I agree. But Kristina and I work with a lot of students and sometimes we see it in adults who have serious executive function issues. Susan Stone: Right. So what is normal? I forgot my homework. The dog ate my homework. And allowing them to have consequences versus seeing a child that might need some good intervention in their executive function skills. Now I will say, and I want to know if you agree with this again, it's not good to get involved because you want the teachers to see it and get the help and tease it out. Susan Stone: But how do we know the difference between it just being, oh, this is so boring versus a, I just can't get organized.  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Yeah. I mean, I'm a huge fan of the family meeting. Which I think, I think one of your guests talk about that too.  Kristina Supler: That's a big, positive discipline, right? Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Right. So the family meeting is a great one, and I was just reviewing some of the recommendations for that. And then this one, I thing I read said, you know, the agenda should start with compliments which is great. Cause then everyone's looking all week for things that other people did well, that they could, list as their compliment and then challenges. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And then that's where you try to brainstorm some solutions. And that's where maybe this executive functioning thing could come in. So if there'd been challenges with homework, not getting turned in or the books from school not making it home from school or whatever that could be addressed at the meeting and talk about strategies to do better. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: But then if those methods are putting up something on the whiteboard in the kitchen, or, you know, Saying, would you like me to check that your backpack is loaded in at the night? You know, kind of coming up with some dual strategies that the kids involved with the parents involved with. If those things aren't working, then I do think you need to get the school involved, the school counselor involved. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: To see if they feel like the child needs some more executive functioning support at school at, or even is there an ADHD element going on that needs further diagnosis? So I am a big fan of that.  Kristina Supler: It might be a tricky question, but what's the difference between over-parenting in your mind versus normal support for your child?  Susan Stone: Great question. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Yeah. Well, and that kind of gets back to this failure to launch things. So let me actually go back to the failure to launch, and then we'll get back into that. So after the getting out of the homework business for high schoolers, I do think, like we said, there, they should be in charge of their, their work. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And then I do think considering a paid job for your high schooler is not a bad idea. Because paid work does teach a ton of responsibility and getting there on time. And doing some maybe menial tasks that you don't really like to do, but you do them anyway. And then I did clothing allowance with my kids and I thought it was fantastic. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: So they got a certain amount of money every quarter that was to be spent on clothes. And, and we had it all worked out. Like if I was going to buy like the winter coats and the boots or whatever, but this was just for regular clothes. And they got that amount of money and they each had a bank account with a debit card and I put the money in there and then every time they went to the store or nowadays I'm sure kids are just buying it online, they could buy it or not. But they wouldn't get more money until the next quarter. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And I think that's a great way to teach them, like when their kids go to college a lot of kids overspend. And then they don't know cause they can door dash stuff, they can take an Uber, they have this and they have that. So like it's kind of a nice way to sort of start teaching them if there is a set amount of money and you can decide how you want to spend it, but there's not going to be any more for three months. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Or you get your job and you make more money and you can spend it that way. So I do think some money management, a lot of my, one of my daughters college freshmen friends had no clue about money and the parents were so mad because they were asking for more money all the time. That like, what all this? Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: So I do think doing some money management in high school is a good idea before they get to, before they get to college.  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: But then back to your other question about the helicopter parent versus the supportive parent, I mean, obviously that's sort of a style point and there are some cultural differences. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: But I guess I would say, you'd like the kid to have some, just some motivation on their own, that they're interested in something and they want to do it. And then maybe your job as the parent is to sort of provide, a good place to do your work.  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Or, you know, maybe we didn't talk about sleep, but I'm a huge sleep advocate. And I do think, I think parents should be pretty involved in how, and when the kid goes to bed. Because if they don't get enough sleep, then everything falls apart. And I mean, the age, the amount of sleep children are supposed to get is, is much more than most kids are getting. And adults. Exactly. And I was reading you probably, you guys probably know Lisa DeMar, she's an amazing local psychologist. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And she wrote a really neat article on sleep. And, for the kind of the middle schoolers, she wants them all to get 10 hours of sleep and said, You have to get your homework done. You need to do 30 minutes of chores and you need 10 hours of sleep. And then if you can, if you have time for other activities, you can fit them in around that. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: But you know, the sleep is sort of the non-negotiable. So I think parents do need to be, and nowadays with teenagers, I get a lot of teenager checkups and I asked them what time they go to the bed? And the mother said, well, I don't know, because I go to bed at 10 and I don't know what they're doing after 10. Susan Stone: I have to tell you. That is so true when your kids are little, you have a tuck-in routine, but I will say good night and sort of check in on my high schooler. But I don't know what she's doing. I'm hoping she's going to sleep. But I'm going to be more mindful of this.  Susan Stone: I just want to ask for a recent observation that I find so interesting. When I was 16 and Kristina chime in getting your license was like the most important thing you could do. But I'm noticing from my friends and their kids and this generation driving is not a big deal and they don't care if they drive. They're happy to Uber.  Kristina Supler: I agree at growing up and when I was a teen, it was unthinkable that you wouldn't get your license the minute you possibly could. Kristina Supler: And it is this really interesting shift now, uh, we're seeing a lot of teens who just don't think it's necessary because friends around them or you have Uber or driving is just too stressful. Don't want it. Don't need it. Have you seen that in your medical practice or do you know what's, what's fueling this? Kristina Supler: Or why  Susan Stone: does, and should you just say no, you're getting your license. This is not a choice because I am not your chauffeur.  Kristina Supler: Or do you have to really listen to what your child's expressing. I think the driving one, great question Susan, and that's a tough issue because you want to foster independence, but yet, you know, it's like, well, if my kid doesn't want to drive, maybe I have I'm in what's going on. Kristina Supler: And I think that's a complicated issue for parents. Well,  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Yeah, it's pretty dark for us, Zizzy. The whole driving issue. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: It is funny because I do think it does sort of depend on girl, boy. I mean, I tend to see that the girls are getting their licenses on time. Cause they're just a little at that age, a little more organized. You know, you have to do the thing and take the test and they're just, and they just seem to be a little, social and they want to get out and about. And so I tend to see the girls getting their licenses pretty close to 16 and the boys not being as concerned because, you know, they're there, they can play their video games with their friends, from their couch and they don't need to get over there. Susan Stone: That's so true. Where are they going? They're staying home.  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: In terms of, from a parent's perspective, if you need them to drive cause they have other, you have other kids or you have other opportunities, then I think got like a job that you could say, look, you're able to get your license. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: So it would really make life easier. If you decide not to do it, then you're on your own to find your way to where your practice or wherever you're going. You know, I think you can kind of try to put it on them a little bit, but I mean, honestly, teenagers are not the best drivers. So for me waiting a little longer, a little more mature, a little more friend to low, that's fine with me, a kid who doesn't really want to drive. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: It doesn't want to drive. I wouldn't push it because it's distressed, they can get distracted and they can, it's a huge responsibility driving a car. And so I'd really want them to be motivated and know, you know, that it's a big responsibility. They need to take it very seriously. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: I do. I do tell kids around this time, each year, you know, sadly there's often a car load of teenage boys that gets into a very serious possibly even fatal accident. And usually, usually they're not drinking. They're usually just goofing around. Just being funny, silly, goofy people, and it ends very badly. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: So I want them all paying attention while they're driving. And if they're not into it, I'd rather them in an Uber.  Susan Stone: Yeah. You know, that's really interesting. Well, Zizzy, I think we're going to have to invite you back. Not even get halfway through what we wanted to talk to you back about.  Susan Stone: Wow. There's just so much to us stuff to talk to the pediatrician about. I think you need your own podcast. Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: Yeah. I will just put in one plug for my boss. I work for a Senders Pediatrics. And my boss is Shelly Senders. Our website is amazing and he writes, uh, it used to be weekly, but now it's a twice monthly newsletter that has incredible topics. Like two weeks ago, he had tick-tock brain on there and how to get more sleep.  Dr. Zizzy Bucchieri: And this, this week's has some good information on what's going on with COVID. So if anyone has more general pediatric questions, take look at our website. But it was great talking with you ladies.  Susan Stone: We got to get together soon. Kristina Supler: We're so pleased. You're able to join us today and our listeners check out Senders Pediatrics. Thanks to everyone for listening to Real Talk with Susan and Kristina.

It is not uncommon for a young child to be expelled from child care due to a challenging behavior, especially hurtful behaviors like biting or hitting. And yet it's hard to imagine a young child who doesn't occasionally lash out in frustration or anger and have a hard time calming down and re-engaging in a more positive way. In early childhood (birth to 5), children are just learning how to manage emotions, share space and attention with others and handle conflict in reasonable ways.   As this week's Mom Enough guest knows, children learn those lessons best when parents and other adults connect with them, recognize their feelings and engage them in thinking about what they can do differently. Dr. Anne Gearity joins Marti & Erin for a rich discussion that will help you think about and respond to challenging behavior in ways that are effective in the short-run and supportive of healthy development in the long-run. Thank you to Help Me Grow, a supporting partner of Mom Enough, for providing sponsoring this episode of Mom Enough.   WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT CHALLENGING BEHAVIOR? Dr. Gearity says when children act out they are telling us, “I'm confused. I need your help.” Think of a recent situation in which a young child in your life engaged in a very challenging behavior. How did you respond and how did it work? How would your response have been different if you'd thought of the child saying, “I need your help?”   WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT REGULATION & CHALLENGING BEHAVIORS? ❉ HELP ME GROW. A wealth of resources on child development, early childhood screening and more are available through Help Me Grow's website.   ❉ DEVELOPMENTAL MILESTONES. View this helpful resource from Help Me Grow to see if your child's development is on track.   ❉ I LOVE MY WHITE SHOES. Read this great Pete the Cat book.   ❉ WAYS TO HELP CHILDREN THINK ABOUT BETTER SOLUTIONS FOR DIFFICULT BEHAVIORS. Check out this tip sheet from St. David's Center, a Mom Enough supporting partner.   ❉ PROMOTING SELF-REGULATION IN CHILDREN: THE IMPORTANCE OF REGULATORY PARTNERS. Most parents can recall a moment when their child threw a tantrum. Perhaps they were frustrated that they didn't get what they wanted and fell to the floor screaming or crying? Or, maybe they missed a nap and simply couldn't handle what was being asked of them? Regardless of the situation, a tantrum may be a perfectly normal response in early childhood, but in time, a child needs to learn healthier ways to express and cope with their emotions. Occupational therapist and health coach, Kate Biederman, from St. David's Center for Child and Family Development joins Marti and Erin for this episode on the development of self-regulation in childhood.

Where should we turn if we think our child's development might not be on track? For example, our toddler isn't saying as many words as other kids her age? Or, our one-year-old isn't sleeping through the night? Or perhaps our three-year-old is aggressive with other kids? And what if our parents or other family members tell us one thing, based on their cultural traditions and beliefs, and our healthcare provider or an early childhood professional suggests something else? This is a common dilemma. But this week's Mom Enough guest, Zang Vang-Lee, brings wisdom on how to bridge those two worlds, based on her own experience as a Hmong mother of three and an experienced early childhood professional with a Masters of Education from the University of Minnesota.   Zang speaks with grace and respect about her own parents' more relaxed approach -- “He'll do it when he's ready” -- compared to professional encouragement to take a child in for early childhood screening. She tells how a shaman helped her family get through a rough time with an unconsolable infant, as well as how her whole family came together around a wise decision to seek professional help for another challenge. Most of all, Zang explains and exemplifies how important it is for early childhood professionals to do all they can to understand a family's culture and history, build a relationship of trust, and listen carefully in order to co-create a plan that addresses the needs and strengths of the child and the whole family. Marti & Erin thank Help Me Grow for their sponsorship of this informative and inspiring discussion with Zang Vang-Lee, as well as their long-time supporting partnership with Mom Enough.   WHAT CULTURAL  BACKGROUND OR FAMILY HISTORY FACTORS HAVE PLAYED A ROLE IN YOUR PARENTING? How does your cultural background or history shape the way you think about early child development? To what extent do you and the previous generation in your family hold the same beliefs, and does that pose a dilemma when you are deciding how to handle a difficult parenting situation? Where do you turn for information that you can trust to help you figure out the best next step for your child and you? Visit the Help Me Grow website to see how their carefully developed resources can help you learn more about child development and where to go if you are concerned about one of your children.   WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT CULTURAL TRADITIONS, HMONG CULTURE, AND EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT? ❉ HMONG EARLY CHILDHOOD COALITION. A grassroots community organization, the HECC seeks to ensure all Hmong families and children have what they need to succeed and thrive, including access to early childhood education, translated and up-to-date information, and advocacy.   ❉ HMONG CULTURAL CENTER. Through art and education, the Hmong Cultural Center promotes positive race relations in the Twin Cities. A Minnesota non-profit, the HCC provides resources and focuses on sustaining and teaching about Hmong culture.    ❉ HMONG MUSEUM. Check out this museum, which is preserving Hmong culture, history, and arts and educating others about this important culture.   ❉ AMERICAN INDIAN CHILDREN AND FAMILIES: BEYOND LORE AND STEREOTYPES.

Welcome (once again) to this summer retrospective series. One of my favorite things about this podcast is that it's truly a community of guests and listeners, where you often connect with each other, apart from me. When guests share so deeply and vulnerably with us, the listeners, I think it's important to stay in touch and continue to conversation, as much as possible. In this spirit, I reached out to a few guests for follow-up interviews this summer. These interviews are each 30 minutes or less and totally un-edited so you're getting the raw thoughts of both myself and my guests. For the second episode in this retrospective series, I'm just so excited to introduce you again to Helen Au. Several listeners asked me to bring Helen back because they had such a strong emotional response to her original episode, Ep. 057 Food in the Real Life Coming of Age Story of Helen Au. What no listeners knew until now is that I've actually hired Helen as a consultant for my PINTEREST strategy! We discuss her career, which we didn't discuss at all during her original episode, the importance of Pinterest, and how to start if you've never considered it. We also talk about the BIG life change she's making this summer, which led us into a in depth conversation about Helen's minimalist lifestyle - when and why she adopted it, and how she sustains it. Finally, we answer the big questions previous listeners are wondering about - if she and her family, especially her mom, have remained in touch. Listen Now: Highlights Her big move this summer Fitting all her belongings into 2.5 suitcases Why she chose minimalism Why I hired Helen Pinterest strategies An update on her family situation Helen's Original Interview For The Storied Recipe Podcast Food In The Real Life Coming of Age Story of Helen Au Recipe Helen Shared (in her original episode) Vegan Pineapple Buns (Bolo Bao) How to Find Helen Au Instagram: @astepfullofyou Website: www.astepfullofyoublog.com More About The Storied Recipe Podcast My weekly guests share a recipe cherished for its significance to their culture, heritage, memories, and family.

As a community, we become more grateful for the gift of food, better cooks and global citizens, and we honor those that loved us through their cooking.
