Part 1 How to Talk so Little Kids Will Listen by Joanna Faber SummarySummary of "How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen" by Joanna Faber Overview: This book is a practical guide for parents, caregivers, and educators seeking effective communication techniques to connect with young children. Joanna Faber, along with her co-author Julie King, builds on the foundational ideas from the original work by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish, adapting their strategies to cater specifically to the needs and behaviors of little kids. The authors emphasize the importance of empathetic communication, respectful interaction, and practical problem-solving. Key Themes and Techniques: Empathy First: Understanding and validating a child's feelings before addressing behavior is crucial. Children respond better when they feel understood. Use phrases that acknowledge their emotions, such as "I can see you're upset," to create a connection. Use of Playfulness: Engaging with children through playful language and scenarios makes interactions more enjoyable and less confrontational. Introducing humor or silliness can diffuse tension and open pathways to communication. Clear and Simple Instructions: Kids respond better to straightforward and concise directions. Clarity helps minimize misunderstandings. For instance, instead of saying, "Please clean up your toys," you might say, "Let's put the blocks in the box!" Collaborative Problem Solving: Involve children in finding solutions to conflicts or frustrations. This empowers them and fosters a sense of ownership over decisions. Ask questions like, "What do you think we should do?" to promote critical thinking. Modeling Behavior: Children learn by observing adults. Modeling respectful, calm, and empathetic behavior sets a standard for how they interact with others. When handling emotions, reflect on how your reactions shape the child's responses. Setting Limits with Love: Establishing boundaries is essential, but it should be done in a gentle and loving manner. Avoiding harsh statements and instead offering choices can lead to better compliance. For example, instead of saying "You can't do that!" try "You can choose to play in the sandbox or read a book. What do you want to do?" Listening Actively: Foster a two-way communication where children feel safe to express themselves. Active listening helps children perceive their voices as significant and valued. Techniques include repeating back what they say, reflecting feelings, and asking follow-up questions. Conclusion: By incorporating these techniques, caregivers can foster a positive, communicative environment that encourages cooperation, understanding, and respect between adults and children. "How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen" serves as a valuable resource, equipping adults with the skills to enhance their interactions with the little ones in their lives.Part 2 How to Talk so Little Kids Will Listen AuthorJoanna Faber is an accomplished author and educator, known primarily for her work in child development and communication between parents and children.

Miracles Week 7: Praise in the Midst of the Storm In our ongoing series on miracles, we have explored the spiritual dimensions of reality and how God occasionally breaks through into our material world. This week, we delve into the power of **praise** during life's storms and how it positions us to witness divine intervention. ## The Context: Acts 16 This week's sermon is anchored in **Acts 16**, a chapter full of miraculous events. Paul and Silas, after being unjustly imprisoned for casting out a spirit from a slave girl, demonstrate the power of praise. Despite their dire circumstances, they choose to sing hymns and pray, creating a "thin place" where God's presence becomes profoundly tangible. ## Key Themes ### 1. **Faith and Praise in Adversity** - **Courageous Faith**: Just as Joshua prayed boldly for the sun to stand still (**Joshua 10**), Paul and Silas exhibit courageous faith by praising God amidst their suffering.- **Acts of Praise**: Their hymns and prayers focus on God's mighty acts in nature and history, reflecting a deep trust in His sovereignty. This is echoed in passages like **Psalm 59:16** and **Psalm 71:22**, where praise is given for God's strength and faithfulness. ### 2. **Divine Breakthroughs** - **Miraculous Deliverance**: An earthquake, a symbol of God's power over nature, shakes the prison, opening doors and loosening chains. This miraculous event is not for Paul and Silas's escape but to reveal God's glory to the jailer and his family.- **Conversion and Salvation**: The jailer, witnessing the miracle and moved by the apostles' faith, asks how he can be saved. Paul and Silas lead him and his household to faith in Jesus, underscoring the ultimate purpose of miracles: salvation and the expansion of God's kingdom. ### 3. **Purpose Beyond Personal Gain** - **Selfless Witness**: Paul and Silas's actions illustrate that miracles are not for personal gain but for God's glory and the salvation of others. Their willingness to return to prison after the miracle demonstrates their commitment to God's mission over personal freedom.- **God's Sovereign Plan**: The sermon emphasizes that while we can create conditions ripe for miracles through faith and praise, the outcome is always in God's hands. Our role is to remain faithful, trusting in His plan and timing. ## Conclusion The story of Paul and Silas in **Acts 16** teaches us that praise, especially in adversity, can transform our circumstances into "thin places" where God's power is revealed. As believers, we are called to use our trials as platforms to glorify God, trusting that He will work through us to reach others. In doing so, we participate in the divine mission of spreading the good news and witnessing the transformative power of faith. In closing, the message encourages us to evaluate our motives when seeking God's intervention. Instead of focusing on personal relief, we should aim to glorify God and advance His kingdom. By praising God in all circumstances, we open the door for His presence to transform the world around us.

We dive into the ACC with the first of our three-part conference preview and talk through our contender tiers, the biggest questions and storylines driving the narrative, and use ice cream and video games as a metaphor for the way the league sets up. From Clemson's title hopes to Miami's untapped Playoff hopes, we unpack what makes this conference so damn fascinating. In this college football podcast episode, we discuss why the ACC in 2025 feels like a grand experiment. We debate Clemson as the clear conference favorite, analyze the battle for second place and discuss Ty's surprise contender. Plus, we examine the coaching moves that will have an impact, from Bill Belichick at North Carolina to coordinator changes at Florida State, Virginia Tech and beyond. We also explore the volatility of the middle of the ACC, with nine teams that could easily go 4-8 or 8-4, debate which quarterback transfers will make the biggest impact, and wonder if it's safe to feel this good about Duke football. Also, is this Virginia Tech's make-or-break year? Can Syracuse survive their brutal schedule? And why does every team seem to have a Texas State transfer? Consider this your starter pack for navigating the beautiful chaos of the ACC football in 2025.
