I'm diving deep into teaching life skills to teens—from driving and money management to cooking and getting their first job. If you're stressed about whether your teen is "ready" to launch, this episode is for you. I share how I navigated the messy middle of raising two very different kids, why mistakes are actually gifts, and how to stop micromanaging and start believing in your teen's ability to figure things out. Learn when to step in, when to let go, and how shifting from "this is who my kid is" to "this is where they are" changes everything. Perfect for parents of teens aged 13-18.

Welcome to Hot Topics! Host Gabrielle Crichlow talks to guest Jordan Sutlick about her journey in starting a microschool in Missouri, set to open in August 2027. This episode focuses on microschools, which are small, independent schools that serve a limited number of students, emphasizing personalized learning and community involvement.Jordan shares her reasons for starting a microschool, especially her experiences as a mother of a neurodivergent child. As the founder of Luminaire Academy, she wants to help children who often don't get the support they need in traditional schools. The school will welcome students starting from age 5 and is already a private school that uses an accredited curriculum.We discuss how microschools allow for tailored learning experiences and the 50/50 model that includes both neurodivergent and neurotypical learners, promoting inclusivity. Luminaire Academy will have students in groups of 10, with a total of 7 groups, ensuring a supportive environment for everyone.Jordan highlights her focus on life skills, entrepreneurship, and hands-on learning. We explore how Luminaire Academy will work with local resources and involve parents in their children's education.Additionally, we talk about a learning approach that lets students progress at their own pace and a focus on overall development that includes nutrition and physical activity. Join us for an interesting conversation about new educational ideas and the impact of microschools in Missouri!Who is Jordan Sutlick?Jordan is the founder of Luminaire Academy. Luminaire Academy was born from the belief that our children aren't struggling, they're underserved. Too often, they're labeled with behavioral issues when in reality, they lack proper nutrition, movement, a nurturing environment, and a curriculum that prepares them to be future leaders. As a mother of a neurodivergent child, I saw how traditional schools overlook the needs of kids who learn differently. We're building the school we couldn't find. A place where nature, creativity, resourcefulness, faith, and personalized learning come together. Here, therapy is welcomed, not argued over. Your child's therapist is contracted during school hours. With a 50/50 classroom model for neurodivergent and neurotypical learners, we're creating a truly inclusive community where your child's learning strategy is tailored to their passions and strengths.You can find Jordan Sutlick:On the web: https://www.luminaire-academy.comBy Email: luminaire.outdooracademy@gmail.comBy Phone: (913) 620-2098Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/yNl2Kz7yFwQRate this episode on IMDB: TBA********************************************Follow A Step Ahead Tutoring Services:On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astepaheadtutoringservicesOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astepaheadtutoringservicesOn X: https://www.x.com/ASATS2013On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a-step-ahead-tutoring-services/On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@astepaheadtutoringservicesOn TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@asats2013On Eventbrite: https://astepaheadtutoringservices.eventbrite.comVisit us on the web: https://www.astepaheadtutoringservices.comSign up for our email list: https://squareup.com/outreach/a41DaE/subscribeSign up for our text list: https://tapit.us/cipPJOCheck out our entire "Hot Topics!" podcast: https://www.astepaheadtutoringservices.com/hottopicspodcastSupport us:Cash App: https://cash.app/$ASATS2013PayPal: https://paypal.me/ASATS2013Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/ASATS2013Zelle: success@astepaheadtutoringservices.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hot-topics--5600971/support Original date of episode: July 23, 2025

With a significant online following, Anna has dedicated over three decades to helping those affected by childhood trauma, enabling them to lead happier, more fulfilling lives. Her forthcoming book, "Connectability: Heal the Hidden Ways You Isolate, Find Your People, and Feel, at Last, Like You Belong," focuses on overcoming feelings of disconnection—a common issue both among trauma survivors and those with normal childhoods. Anna highlights that many individuals crave connection and understanding but often feel isolated, leading to loneliness and strained relationships.During the discussion, Anna shares her personal background of growing up in a commune with a mother plagued by addiction, which subjected her and her family to violence, poverty, and neglect. Despite these challenges, she managed to remain a high-functioning student throughout her childhood and early adulthood. However, a series of traumatic events in her 30s, including the death of her mother, a serious heartbreak, and a violent attack, left her with profound psychological effects, specifically post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). At that time, the concept of PTSD was not well understood outside military contexts, leaving Anna feeling isolated and struggling with her mental health amidst overwhelming shame and fear.In her conversation with Gina Ryan, Anna explains the significant misdiagnosis of childhood trauma symptoms, revealing her struggle with emotional dysregulation and her eventual journey to recovery. After initially finding therapy unhelpful, Anna serendipitously discovered effective techniques for managing her anxiety and depression through support from a friend who had also endured severe life struggles. These techniques, which included writing down her anxious and angry thoughts and feelings—effectively releasing them—and practicing meditation, became transformative tools for her.#CPTSD, #ComplexPTSD, #ChildhoodTrauma, #TraumaHealing, #Dysregulation, #NeurologicalDysregulation, #EmotionalRegulation, #Connectability, #Disconnection, #Isolation, #AnnaRunkle, #CrappyChildhoodFairy, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #DailyPractice, #Reregulated, #ReRegulation, #TraumaRecovery, #HealingTechniques, #SelfHelp, #LifeSkills, #SocialSkills, #Meditation, #AnxietyRelief, #MentalHealth, #SelfCare, #PersonalGrowth, #HealingJourney, #InnerPeace, #Belonging, #GinaRyan, #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Where Parents Talk, host Lianne Castelino speaks with Pamela Hobart — philosopher coach, writer, mother of four, and gifted education advocate. Hobart shares her journey from academia to coaching, and now to her work at GT School, where AI-driven mastery learning meets life skills education for high-ability students.Drawing on her background in philosophy and coaching, Hobart explains how she helps people transform “overthinking” into wisdom and action — a process just as vital for adults facing career crossroads as it is for children navigating school. She reveals why traditional education systems often fail gifted learners, leaving them either underchallenged or burdened with “educational baggage,” and why enrichment activities like dissecting sharks or busywork projects don't truly meet their needs.Hobart also discusses GT School, a model blending AI-powered mastery learning with life skills workshops and human guidance. Instead of measuring success by seat time or average grades, GT School prioritizes academic acceleration, emotional resilience, and practical skills such as financial literacy, teamwork, and project management. Students not only advance faster academically but also learn to embrace failure, build confidence, and develop a love of learning.Hobart unpacks common misconceptions about gifted learners, the role of AI in education, and why guides — drawn from diverse backgrounds beyond traditional teaching — are central to creating environments where children thrive. Key Takeaways:The limits of traditional educationTurning overthinking into wisdomGifted ≠ enrichmentThe role of AI in learningLife skills matterThis podcast is for parents, guardians, teachers and caregivers to learn proven strategies and trusted tips on raising kids, teens and young adults based on science, evidenced and lived experience.You'll learn the latest on topics like managing bullying, consent, fostering healthy relationships, and the interconnectedness of mental, emotional and physical health.Links referenced in this episode:whereparentstalk.com

In this episode of "Father and Joe," hosts Father Boniface Hicks and Joe Rockey dive deep into the fast-evolving world of artificial intelligence and its implications on human relationships. With AI becoming an integral part of our lives, it's crucial to understand its impact, especially on the sanctity and quality of human connections. Father Boniface and Joe explore the nuances of trust within relationships in an age where AI can imitate human behavior with uncanny precision. Can technology ever replicate the profound depth of human relationships? Join the hosts as they discuss the dangers of blurring the lines between genuine human interaction and AI-powered communication.The episode looks into the potential pitfalls of AI-generated content and how it may compromise our ability to discern truth from fiction. Our relationship dynamics, whether personal or professional, rely heavily on the trust and authenticity that AI may challenge. This conversation underscores the importance of maintaining robust in-person relationships and developing skills to ensure what we perceive as real is indeed so. Father Boniface touches on the philosophical and theological aspects of these changes, calling listeners to reconsider the value of human connections that transcend mere transactional interactions.Joe brings to light the effects seen in the business and social landscapes, where AI is often used to automate everything from advertising to customer interactions. The hosts discuss the potential saturation and diminishing quality of AI-generated content, which could cause a decline in meaningful human engagement.As Joe and Father Boniface navigate these complex ideas, they challenge listeners to enhance their "relationship muscles" and prioritize cultivating genuine human connections. Whether it's strengthening existing bonds or repairing broken ones, they highlight the critical need for human interaction in our technology-driven world.Tags: Artificial Intelligence, AI Impact, Human Relationships, Trust, Technology and Humanity, Father and Joe, Podcast, Spiritual Guidance, Relationship Skills, AI Concerns, Authentic Connections, Digital Age, AI Content, Communication, Human Interaction, Father Boniface Hicks, Joe Rockey, Personal Development, Spirituality, Theology, AI Challenges, AI Future, Business Impacts, Social Media, Online Interactions, Human Connection, Life Skills, Technological Growth, AI Ethics, Digital Communication, AI Algorithms, Relationship Dynamics, Trust in Technology, Spiritual Reflection, Real vs Fake, New Technology, Human Creativity, Generative AI, AI in Society, Faith and TechnologyHashtags: #ArtificialIntelligence, #AIImpact, #HumanRelationships, #TrustIssues, #TechAndHumanity, #FatherAndJoe, #PodcastTalk, #SpiritualGuidance, #RelationshipSkills, #AIFears, #DigitalConnections, #AIContent, #TrueCommunication, #HumanInteraction, #FatherBonifaceHicks, #JoeRockey, #PersonalGrowth, #Spirituality, #TheologicalTalk, #AIChallenges, #FutureTech, #BusinessImpact, #SocialMedia, #OnlineInteractions, #RealHumanConnection, #LifeSkills, #TechGrowth, #AIethics, #DigitalCommunication, #AIGeneration, #RelationshipDynamics, #TechTrust, #SpiritualReflection, #RealVsFake, #NewTech, #HumanCreativity, #GenerativeAI, #AISociety, #FaithAndTechThis line is here to correct the site's formatting error.

In this episode of the podcast, we are joined by Tasnuva and Ben representing the Youth Shadow Panel to discuss their part in the Shadow Curriculum & Assessment Review. This is the student voice to mirror the UK government's Curriculum & Assessment Review (CAR) led by Professor Becky Francis.Ben & Tasnuva join us as two members of a wider youth panel who represent the voices of 10.5 million children and young people. The panel gathered views from thousands of children and young people through a call for evidence, a national roadshow, school assemblies, and focus groups. Over 200 young people participated in four in-person and two online roadshow workshops, and more than 550 individuals and groups responded to their call.The report sets out 14 key recommendations which reflect the shared view from young people for an education system across four themes: building skills and relevance to life; assessments, mental health and wellbeing; climate, sustainability and citizenship education; and equity and inclusion. The recommendations are published with the hope that the CAR will adopt them in full as part of its final report, due for publication in autumn 2025, and that they will be implemented by the Department for Education thereafter.Chapters00:00 Introductions00:57 Meet the Youth Shadow Panel05:02 The Role of Youth in Education Reform10:13 Key Recommendations from the Youth Shadow Panel14:47 The Importance of Life Skills and Enrichment20:00 Rethinking Assessment and Mental Health25:02 The Future of Education and AI29:47 The Role of Citizenship in Education34:11 Outdoor Learning and Its Importance37:12 Political Literacy and Youth Engagement38:19 Creating Equitable and Inclusive Education45:17 The Future of Education ReformRead the full reportShow your support by adding your endorsement for the reportThanks so much for joining us again for another episode - we appreciate you.Ben & Steve xChampioning those who are making the future of education a reality.Follow us on XFollow us on LinkedInJoin the WhatsApp CommunityCheck out all about EdufuturistsWant to sponsor future episodes or get involved with the Edufuturists work?Get in touchGet your tickets for Edufuturists Uprising 2026

In this episode of Nonlinear Learning, we challenge the conventional path parents often take when preparing children with disabilities for higher education. We discuss why focusing solely on life skills, physical independence, and basic academics can leave students unprepared for the real demands of college. Instead, I outline the true foundation that fosters genuine readiness for higher education and guess what - there is a key factor there - MOTIVATION. How do we build that?  Tune in to learn more. You'll discover: Why physical independence, while valuable, doesn't guarantee college readiness. How fluent academic communication—whether through speech, AAC, or spelling-based systems—unlocks learning potential. and more...

In the second part of a dialog with Parents in Sport founder, Gordon MacLelland, the conversation goes onto discuss the importance of resilience and normalising failure in sports when communicating with children.   Such discussions between parents, coaches and children can help kids develop positive coping mechanisms.  David and Gordon also touched on the potential risks of early specialisation in sports at a young age, such as burnout, overuse injuries and the potential to drop out from the sport altogether.  The benefits of diversifying sports participation and the importance of developing multifaceted kids were also talked about. Key Learning Points: ·        Seek to focus on long-term development, such as aspects of mental toughness and resilience, rather than just results and outcomes. ·       Get to know yourself as a parent  as well as your child, seeking to improve your self-awareness. ·        Understand what burnout in sport symptoms are for your children. ·        Encourage regular check-ins between coaches/organisations and parents to manage expectations. ·        Explore ways to better support and train coaches and volunteers in sports clubs to have more effective conversations with parents.

Here is a List of Life Skills Nobody Needs Anymore

Are we really setting our kids up for success in the real world? From burnt spaghetti to budgeting fails, this episode dives into the seven critical life skills every parent should teach their child before they fly the nest — unless you want them boomeranging back! This is the essential parenting checklist for raising capable, confident, and independent adults. KEY POINTS Get Organised & Be ProductiveTeens need to know how to manage time, set alarms, prioritise, and follow through on responsibilities — no one else is going to do it for them. Keep a Tidy House & Maintain HygieneBasic cleaning and personal hygiene habits matter. No one wants to live with (or date) someone who never cleans the bathroom. Cook Three Basic MealsTwo-minute noodles don't count! Being able to whip up three decent meals is a non-negotiable adulting skill. Research & Make Informed DecisionsFrom phone plans to uni courses, help your teen learn how to ask questions, compare options, and confidently choose what's right. Understand Basic BudgetingTrack spending, avoid debt traps, and save for goals — money smarts start at home. Regulate EmotionsTeach your teen to handle stress, setbacks, and big feelings without a meltdown (or a phone call to Mum every time). Navigate Conflict ConstructivelyKnowing how to disagree without destroying a relationship is key — whether it's a fight with a friend or a tricky work conversation. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “The goal isn’t to send them out perfect. It’s to send them out capable — and make ourselves redundant in the process.” RESOURCES MENTIONED happyfamilies.com.au for parenting tools, resources, and workshops. ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS 1. Do a life skills audit — which of these seven has your child mastered?2. Model these behaviours daily: routines, budgeting, cooking, conflict resolution.3. Involve your child in real-life decisions (like comparing phone plans or budgeting for groceries).4. Use mistakes as teachable moments, not failures.5. Celebrate independence, even if it’s just cleaning the bathroom without being asked!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
