Knowing how to make reading fun for our kids can be exasperating! As a kid, I spent hours every day reading in the summer. I'd come home from the library with stacks of books. I was so jazzed when I got my "personal pan pizza" from Pizza Hut after I completed the Summer Reading Program. Do you remember those days? My kids are not quite as easily motivated. With summer coming up, I want to find ways to get them into books, but it will take more than the promise of a pizza to get them to dive in. They like to read but don't love it like I did as a kid. That's why I'm truly grateful for this interview with reading expert Janssen Bradshaw. She gives strategies for how to make reading FUN this summer. Fun is something my kids can get on board with! I'm excited to share Janssen's wisdom with you!

Book recommendations, printable reading lists, a free ecourse on raising a reader and more all reside at this website, but here we interview Janssen about what everyday reading looks like to learn what goes into this powerhouse of information. This week we are joined by Janssen Bradshaw, the woman behind the incredibly popular website and instagram account, Everyday Reading. While she seems to have a hand in everything from designing rainboots to perfecting the chocolate chip cookie, her background as a librarian led her to bringing us the support and book recommendations that make her sites stand out. In this episode we talk about: 1. Janssen’s background from growing up in a “serious reading family” to discovering her own reading tastes as an adult and even becoming a school librarian in Boston before she started having her girls. 2. How her website started and evolved into what it is today. “I thought, ‘I’m going to start reading again!’ So I went to the library, and I just wandered through all the stacks and I thought, ‘I have no idea even what to read!’” 3. What it was like to be a school librarian in Boston and some of the lessons she learned from those experiences. 4. What it takes for Janssen to make her epic book recommendation lists and some of the resources she uses for them. We learned she has a whole post on her website that compiles those resources, which she shared with us:  https://everyday-reading.com/how-i-find-new-picture-books-and-where/ 5. How book tastes are very unique and your taste may not line up with someone who is recommending books to you, but how there are books out there for everyone. “There’s never better conversations on my blog or instagram than when I say, ‘what book does everybody love that you can’t stand?’” 6. What are some of the elements that make a book one of Janssen’s “favorites” and what are some of Janssen’s most popular recommendation lists from her website. 7. Where someone can start when they come to her website for the first time and get the most out of the information that she has compiled over the years. 8. Advice on what to do when the kids in your life start to get opinions about what they want to read and how to balance letting them read what they want while still suggesting and reading your book picks with them. “Just because they don’t like it now doesn’t mean they’ll never like it.” 9. Some tips for anyone who is struggling finding books that their kids will read or having other kids of friction when it comes to kids and reading. “I feel like as a parent...my job is to make reading fun and something that they enjoy.”  10. We wrapped up with a little bit (or a lot) of love for audiobooks and how amazing they are for kids! We are so grateful to Janssen for taking the time to talk with us!

Sometimes you need to employ some strategies to enjoy reading with you kids. It’s not a “given” that all kids will love being read to by their parents, just as it’s not a “given” that all parents will love reading to their kids. I'm a former high school English teacher, so it probably comes as no surprise that I love reading to my kids. I always say that books are my secret weapon to get through their hard behaviors. But not all parents feel this way, and that's okay! Whether you love reading to your kids or it’s a real struggle for you, I know you are going to get some amazing tips from this week’s episode. Our guest is Janssen Bradshaw who is a former elementary school librarian with a masters degree in library and information studies. She now stays home with her four daughters and runs the blog Everyday Reading (https://everyday-reading.com/), which helps parents make reading an enjoyable, simple part of their family life. Three Takeaways to Enjoy Reading with Your Kids 1) Pick books that are fun for YOU to read with your kids.  -If you enjoy the books, you'll make more time for family reading, and it'll be a better experience for everyone. 2) Don't be afraid to quit a book.  -If you decide to stop reading a book together, you’re not teaching your child to be a quitter - you’re teaching them that you don't have to pour more time into something that isn't working for you.  3) Let your kids move while you read.  -Research actually shows that many children can focus better when their hands are occupied.

Oksana Malysheva and Joe Perrill share tips for entrepreneurs, Magdelena Battles talks about why play time is important, Nancy Knapp tells us how reading affects us, Janssen Bradshaw shares how to raise a kid who loves reading, Scott Jeffery helps us activate our imagination, Rachel Wadham shares great gift books, David Baldacci tells us how literacy affects the whole family.

Startup Whisperer (0:00:00) It's a dream that's been in the back of your mind for years, but your stable job and feeding your family seem to get in the way of starting your own business. But what if you were able to make your dream a reality?  Dr. Okasana Malysheva and Joe Merrill are the co-founders of Sputnik ATX and their mission is to fund and mentor other entrepreneurs who might never have access to the capital they need to get their companies off the ground otherwise. Let Them Play (0:16:25) Parent's all want the same things for their kids—don't they? We want them to be successful, happy, well adjusted—all that jazz. But what can we do to make sure that our kids get there? It might not be the first thing you think of when you're worrying about your child's development, but playtime is really so important for young minds. Here to tell us a little more about why that is and how we can make sure we're encouraging good, productive playtime for our kids is Dr. Magdalena Battles, author of Let Them Play! The Importance of Play and 100 Child Development Activities. Bibliotherapy (0:30:51) I think everyone needs therapy at some point in their lives, and therapeutic experiences can come to us in many different shapes and forms. Today, we're talking about a type of therapy that's a little out of the box. Instead of laying on a couch and spilling your feelings to a doctor, can you gain therapy and healing from laying on a couch with your favorite book? Here to tell us more about the practice of bibliotherapy is Nancy Knapp professor and co-author of The Psychology of Reading: Theory and Applications.  Raising a Reader (0:49:22) There's nothing better than getting lost in a good book. There's nothing quite like just being able to be totally immersed in a story, is there? As parents, of course we want our kids to enjoy this experience as well. But what can we do if our kids just don't seem that interested in reading? Here to help us learn how we can raise readers is Janssen Bradshaw, former children's librarian, founder of Everyday Reading and a free course on Raising a Reader. Activating Your Imagination (1:03:10) Imagination is something that is encouraged in children, but often forgotten in adulthood. Albert Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.” So maybe it's time to tune into our childhood selves and figure out how to activate our imaginations. Scott Jeffrey helps successful people access their higher potential. He wrote an article about accessing the imagination that caught our attention, so we invited him on the show to discuss how we, as adults, can access our imaginations. Mini Book Club (1:19:03) Rachel Wadham, host of Worlds Awaiting, shares the best books to give as gifts. Family Literacy (1:27:44) What if you weren't able to complete a job application, understand important food labels, or even read to your child? About half of the United States adult population possesses literacy skills that are described as “challenged” and find these everyday tasks difficult to complete. We live in such a literacy-based world that we thought this issue was important to bring up. In 2002, Michelle and David Baldacci started the Wish You Well Foundation – a non-profit organization with the mission of supporting family literacy in the United States. We're joined by David to talk about it.

So many of you Supergirls have told me that you love to read but just don't have time to read for fun while in school. Hopefully while you are on Christmas break you have a little free time and can pick up a good book or two. Janssen shares some great recommendations.

Empathy Fatigue (0:00:00) When you're fatigued, depressed, or going through a hard time in our life, there is no better feeling than to have someone next to you for a shoulder to cry on. But sometimes when we're so focused with showing love for those around us, we forget to care for ourselves. Not only does this make it harder to care for those we know that are struggling, but we may find ourselves struggling ourselves. Luckily, there are ways that we can manage being compassionate to those around us while taking care of ourselves at the same time. We've invited Dr. Veronika Tait onto the show who has a PhD in Social Psychology and is whose currently research is focused on emotional well-being and empathy.   History of Popcorn (0:15:04) What snack can jump up to three feet on its own when heated? What does the average American eat 45 quarts of in one year? POPCORN!  Ask any age group, and they will agree that popcorn is one of the most versatile, cheap, and healthy snacks on the market. But where did this delicacy come from? Here with us is Wendy Boersema Rappel of the National Popcorn Board, an entire non-profit organization dedicated to spreading awareness for the unlimited potential of this delightful popping whole grain. Gift Ideas for Kids (0:35:26) Friend of The Lisa Show, Carrie Ann Rhodes, shares some of the best, unique gift ideas for kids. Raising a Reader (0:50:32) There's nothing better than getting lost in a good book. There's nothing quite like just being able to be totally immersed in a story, is there? As parents, of course we want our kids to enjoy this experience as well. But what can we do if our kids just don't seem that interested in reading? Here to help us learn how we can raise readers is Janssen Bradshaw, former children's librarian, founder of Everyday Reading and a free course on Raising a Reader. Recharge Your Home (1:06:38) Picture this: you come home from work and the living room is a disaster, your makeup drawer is full of a bunch of stuff you don't use, and you're just feeling blah overall. You feel like you need a change. Sound familiar? Maybe it's time to recharge your home. Kristin Vaselacopoulos is an interior designer with unique and effective ideas on how to organize homes. We've invited her onto the show to give us some tips on how we can recharge the homes we already have. Latest Automotive Trends (1:25:19) Nothing beats the excitement of stepping into a new car. The feeling of the soft leather and that beloved new car smell. While it all seems wonderful, picking out a new car can be a serious commitment. Before doing so, it's important to know what features are available and the upcoming cars that might fit your needs perfectly. Michael Harley is the executive editor for Kelley Blue Book. He is going to tell us everything we need to know about the latest in automotive.

Dr. Veronika Tait shares ways to avoid empathy fatigue, Wendy Boersema Rappel tells us all we need to know about popcorn, Carrie Ann Rhodes shares unique gift ideas for children, Janssen Bradshaw teaches us how help kids love to read, Kristen Vaselacopoulos shares ways to recharge our home decor, Michael Harley talks about the latest automotive trends.

On today's show we have the wildly popular blogger Janssen Bradshaw, creator of the amazing everyday-reading.com. We discuss how she started blogging, how she finds time to read with a bunch of children running around the house, ways to get the youngsters to love reading and how audiobooks are a book nerds' lifesaver! 

"Fear is not a good reason to not do something.  What is the worst that could happen? . . . If I can live with that worst case scenario, then I’m going to do it and stop worrying about failure."   Janssen Bradshaw of Everyday Reading didn't think she was "creative" or "entrepreneurial."  And yet, those two words completely encapsulate who she is now as the producer of a successful blog and a co-creator (alongside her husband) of a brand new business--children's rain boots!   Janssen shares how starting one thing propelled her into another, and how even the failures she faced led to more opportunities anyway. Refusing to live based off of "what ifs" and fears has led to a series of Janssen trying new things bit by bit, and doing so has trickled down into all areas of her life.  Janssen has learned that you can't just let life pass you by and not try things out of fear of failure or how hard it might be; because time passes anyway, and you'll only be left with regret and "what ifs."   Janssen talks about what it is really like to be a successful blogger, how she is able to stay authentic and resist posting only for , why reading matters for her and her family, and her essential--and SIMPLE--was she survives the everyday chaos of raising a family and a business.     Show Notes: Janssen's Blog, Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook London Little rain boots(!!!): Website and Instagram Janssen's FREE course on raising little readers Last week's podcasts with Ralphie from Simply on Purpose and Food: How to Use It, Not Abuse It, Part Two SURVEY!!!! (It takes less than a minute to fill out--thank you!)
