Louisville Scholar House includes 56 apartments, the Owsley Brown Frazier Academic Services Center and an Early Learning Campus (ELC), which provides care and early learning for children ages six weeks to four years old through the College of Education and Human Development.After that, we talk about the Louisville Kings, a United Football League franchise that will start playing in March at Lynn Family Stadium. Reporter Stephen P. Schmidt tells us about efforts to build local support for the new team — particularly among the business community. We also chat about what we think of the team's newly unveiled jerseys, which feature a forrest green meets lime green aesthetic. Late in the show, we switch gears to go over the recently announced Bourbon & Beyond lineup. The Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age and Goose take top billing on opening night, which is Friday, Sept. 24, while Mumford & Sons and Kacey Musgraves headline on Sept. 25.

Campbell, who wrote the book he wishes he had when growing up in a blended family. Through his new book, "Oh Brother, My Brother," he hopes to encourage dialogue between children and their parents.

SHOW NOTES: In this episode of the LDA Podcast, Matt and Clark are joined by longtime friend of the show Kat Koppett for a thoughtful and lively conversation about how we think, learn, and make sense of the world. The discussion opens with a substantive exchange on whether critical thinking can be taught as a general skill. Matt argues that critical thinking depends on deep domain knowledge rather than generic techniques. Clark challenges this view by drawing on research by Peter Ellerton and earlier work by Valerie Shute and Jeffrey Bonar, exploring the limits and possibilities of instruction and transfer. To clarify the debate, Matt introduces a shared definition of critical thinking based on Peter Facione's framework. Kat reinforces the point by noting that people struggle to think critically without relevant information, echoing ideas popularized in The Invisible Gorilla by Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons. The conversation then turns to generational differences in thinking. Clark introduces Harold Jarche's Personal Knowledge Mastery model, which leads to a broader discussion of experience, learning, and whether “digital natives” actually think differently. Hint... they don't exist. They push back on generational myths by highlighting research showing little difference in search strategies across age groups. The episode closes with Matt reflecting on the enduring influence of developmental psychologist Richard Lerner and his work on human development. Selected References Facione, P. A. (2011).

In this special episode, created by one of our student podcast fellows, NYU student Rachel Fang interviews Dr. Matthew Pellegrino, a composer, music educator, and professor at the NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. Korean culture is everywhere, and with the recent success of Netflix's K-Pop Demon Hunters, K-pop's importance in particular has taken on new heights. Rachel speaks with Dr. Pellegrino about his musical upbringing, how his Korean identity has shaped the way he hears and thinks about music, and how this all influences his teaching as an NYU professor.Dr. Matthew Jihoon Pellegrino is an award-winning composer, Fulbright researcher, and music educator. He has enjoyed an eclectic musical upbringing; one which combines Western classical, traditional Korean music, and a brief stint in a metal band. Uncompromising in his work, Pellegrino seeks to create music that engages equally with casual audiences as well as the most serious of listeners. In his research and his music he most enjoys bringing Korean music into the classroom and concert hall by exploring Korean instruments and folk melodies, and analyzing trends in recent K-pop songs.For a full transcript of this episode, please email career.communications@nyu.edu.

Joining me this week are Dr. William Stixrud and Ned Johnson, co-authors of the bestselling book The Self-Driven Child and leading experts on the neuroscience of stress, motivation, and autonomy.   Together we explore:   - Why a child's sense of control is one of the strongest predictors of resilience, mental health, and stress tolerance. - How play, rest, and unstructured time uniquely support healthy brain development. - The hidden ways over-scheduling, overstimulation, and constant "fixing" can unintentionally increase anxiety. - What it really means to be a "non-anxious presence" — and how your calm helps regulate your child's nervous system. - How to give kids space to struggle, experiment, and try hard things without overwhelming them or abandoning them. - Practical, research-backed strategies for helping kids feel both safe and capable in a world that often feels anything but.   Whether you're raising a toddler or a teen, this conversation offers a grounded, science-backed reframe for understanding stress, resilience, and autonomy — and meaningful tools you can start using today to strengthen connection and help your child thrive.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUESTS:

If you've ever wondered how to build a microschool while managing major life transitions—or if fear of stepping away has kept you from taking the leap—this episode will encourage and empower you to move forward with faith and clarity. In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of talking with Madeline Baird, founder of Peak Learning Microschool in Ohio—and yes, she's 38 weeks pregnant while running her thriving school! We dove deep into her journey, her passion for education, and how she's balancing motherhood, leadership, and purpose in this season of life. Madeline shared her inspiring background as a first-generation college student who started out in youth ministry before earning her degree in Human Development and Family Sciences. Her path took an unexpected turn when she began questioning the “why” behind traditional education systems. That curiosity—and courage to explore new ways of learning—eventually led her across the world to Japan, and later back to the U.S., where she initially described herself as “anti-homeschool.” But like so many of us, her heart began to shift. After listening to the Teacher Let Your Light Shine Podcast, Madeline realized she could create something that beautifully blended her love for teaching, her desire to be home with her boys, and her vision for meaningful, student-centered education. That's when Peak Learning Microschool was born. We talked about some of the most common fears people have when starting a microschool—especially around taking time off, maternity leave, or balancing family life with the demands of leading a school. Maddie opened up about her state complaint experience, how she handled it with grace and perseverance, and what she learned through the process. She also shared her insights on curriculum design, how she's learning to step back from day-to-day teaching to focus more on administrative work and long-term growth, and the lessons she's learned as her school continues to expand.

Have you ever wondered why your child's behavior feels so personal? Why does your child's behavior set off such a strong reaction—even when you understand what they're struggling with? In this powerful episode of Complicated Kids, I talk with clinical psychologist Dr. Debra Brause about what's really happening inside us during those intense parenting moments. We explore why kids trigger old wounds, how shame gets unconsciously passed around, and what it looks like to shift from reacting to responding. Debra offers a grounded, compassionate framework that helps parents understand their emotional experience without blame—so connection becomes easier, calmer, and more sustainable. If you've ever wondered why certain behaviors from your child hit you harder than others, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. Key Takeaways Kids absorb our emotional signals—not just our words. Parental triggers often originate in old wounds or unmet needs. Shame gets passed around until someone notices they're holding it. Awareness—not perfection—is the beginning of breaking cycles. Your child's behavior is communication, not an evaluation of your parenting. "Junky" feelings are cues to look within, not at your child. Neurodivergent kids often stir up intense emotions because they challenge old patterns. Self-regulation is a precursor to co-regulation. Even small shifts in awareness change the parent-child dynamic. Connection, not control, is the pathway to healing. About Debra Brause Dr. Debra Brause is a clinical psychologist who works from a neuro-affirming perspective with parents raising neurodivergent children and autistic adults. She earned her Doctorate in Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology and completed advanced training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, diagnostic assessment at UCLA, and community mental health. She has taught Human Development at Alliant International University, supervised clinicians at multiple counseling centers, and regularly presents seminars on neurodiversity. Before becoming a psychologist, she spent a decade working in television and entertainment—experience that now informs her work helping clients move through emotional and creative blocks. About Your Host, Gabriele Nicolet I'm Gabriele Nicolet, toddler whisperer, speech therapist, parenting life coach, and host of Complicated Kids. Each week, I share practical, relationship-based strategies for raising kids with big feelings, big needs, and beautifully different brains. My goal is to help families move from surviving to thriving by building connection, confidence, and clarity at home. Complicated Kids Resources and Links

Dr. Patrick Schröder, a senior research fellow at Chatham House, assesses the progress and barriers for circular economy policymaking. Patrick Schröder specializes in the circular economy, climate change, resource governance, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). His work brings together science, policy, and media to help further evidence-based policies, communicate complex sustainability issues, and promote equitable governance solutions at the multilateral level. Patrick is currently the Coordinating Lead Author for one of the three working groups for the IPCC Assessment Report 7, reporting on Mitigation of Climate Change, and he is also the Coordinating Lead Author for the UN Global Environment Outlook 7. Patrick holds a PhD in Environmental Studies, and is now studying part-time for a second PhD in circular and regenerative design with the Centre for Sustainable Design. In 2024, UNIDO and Chatham House published a ground-breaking global stocktake of 75 national circular economy roadmaps featuring more than 2,800 policy actions. The first roadmap, from Japan, was published in 1999, and since 2016, as governments strive to accelerate their circular transitions, over 70 countries have published national circular economy roadmaps and strategies. The review aims to ‘bridge knowledge gaps and shed light on critical aspects of these publications', and the authors point to a ‘significant lack of focus on the need to ensure a just and inclusive' transition, warning that a ‘lack of recognition of the need to work collaboratively with the global community' risks derailing a global just transition. Patrick tells us how he currently sees the global state of play for circular economy policies and roadmaps, where progress is happening and from a policymaking perspective, what is holding it back. The team at Chatham House have created a micro-site – circulareconomy.earth – and Patrick tells us more about that, and how we can use it.

She began her career as a social worker working in neighborhood development efforts in Washington, DC to support and strengthen families to prevent family violence and overcome hardship. However, a move to a military town with her active-duty military spouse, re-focused her on work with military families. She served as a Child Protective Services officer in Onslow County, North Carolina and worked extensively with military families. After completing her Ph.D. in Social Work at the University of Maryland, Dr. Hisle-Gorman taught and worked in community development and was the senior author on one of the first articles to document the clinical effects of military deployment on children. She subsequently moved to USUHS to expand its research portfolio exploring the effects of military life on children. Her research interests are focused the impact of past military deployment on military children, effects of parental injury and family violence on pediatric health and mental health, and healthcare usage trends in military pediatrics. However, she has also worked on projects examining autism in children, indicators of immunization completion, neonatal health, care for transgender individuals, healthcare disparities, and the effects of medications on children. Dr. Hisle-Gorman has significant experience working with the Military Health System Data Repository and conducting retrospective research studies about military-connected children using the MDR. Dr. Hisle-Gorman most enjoys mentoring medical students, residents, and junior faculty on research projects, and teaching them the research process on an individual basis.   Dr. Binny Chokshi is a general pediatrician, with a focus on adolescents and young adults. Dr. Chokshi's research and education interests are focused on understanding the impact of early life stressors on health across the life course. To mitigate the effects of trauma and stress on children, Dr. Chokshi advocates for a trauma-informed approach to healthcare. She has developed web-based e-modules to train outpatient pediatricians in responding to childhood adversity with a trauma-informed care approach and has also trained medical students and residents at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. In a prior role at Children's National Hospital, she also worked with hospital leadership to develop hospital wide trauma-informed practices. In her current role at USUHS, Dr. Chokshi examines how military specific factors may impact child and and family health, with a current focus on how social determinants of health such as food security impact military child health.  Dr. Chokshi is also passionate on promoting positive childhood experiences, to foster healthy development in children and counter the impacts of stressful experiences.  Dr. Chokshi has a vested interest in medical education and completed Masters in Education at the George Washington University School of Education and Human Development. On a national level, Dr. Chokshi serves on the Expert Leadership Team for the American Academy of Pediatrics project “Building Capacity for Trauma-Informed Pediatric Care”.
