In this episode of One in Ten, host Teresa Huizar speaks with Kristi Westphaln (UCLA School of Nursing) about integrating children's voices into Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) outcome measurement and understanding what healing after abuse means to youth. Westphaln describes her work with the Canopy CAC and a scoping review showing CAC literature emphasizes programmatic measures (forensic interviews, prosecution) more than child perspectives, and how this aligned with the National Children's Alliance Youth Feedback Survey pilot.Time Stamps: Time.

Are your poles helping you accelerate, or are they telling your skis to stop? In this episode of First Chair, host George Thomas is joined by Keith Rodney—chair of the National Children's Task Force, US Telemark Team head coach, and multi-discipline examiner. Keith explains why we've moved away from the term "pole plant" in favor of the "pole touch," and how this subtle shift in vocabulary reflects a massive shift in how we move our center of mass across our skis. Keith breaks down his "Gold Standard" of the accelerating pole touch, the "Wild Pole Swing" for emergency turns, and the "Unibody" movement patterns of young children. Whether you're an alpine pro, a telemark enthusiast, or a children's specialist, this episode will change the way you look at the "two sticks" in your hands. We also tackle the age-old question: At what age should kids actually start using poles? In this episode, we discuss: - The difference between a "blocking" plant and an "accelerating" touch. - How pole angle affects the energy travel into your upper body. - The "Unibody" movement: Why 3-to-6-year-olds struggle with grip. - "Nose over Toes": Using the pole reach to find balance on steep terrain. - Telemark vs. Alpine: How pole length and the "lead change" work together.

In this episode, FarmSafe sits down with Andrea Swenson, director of the National Children's Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety, to discuss the newly updated 2025 National Action Plan for Childhood Agricultural Safety. Drawing on her upbringing on a Wisconsin dairy farm and years of professional experience, Swenson explains why agriculture can be both an incredible developmental opportunity for youth and one of the most hazardous environments they may encounter. The conversation explores why the national plan was updated for the first time since 2012, reflecting major shifts in agriculture such as automation, artificial intelligence, climate-related extreme weather, labor shortages, and changing farm structures. Swenson outlines the plan's seven priority areas: leadership, injury and exposure data, public policy, organizational policy, research, dissemination and implementation, and preparedness for emerging threats. Episode ResourcesNational Action PlanTemplates for model Farm Safety Policies can be found athttps://farms.extension.wisc.edu/articles/a-culture-of-farm-safety-starts-with-a-well-written-policy/https://agriculturaljusticeproject.org/toolkit/resources/safety/ajp-safety-plan/

Fergal Bowers, RTE's Health Correspondent, outlines the latest update from Children's Health Ireland regarding the new National Children's Hospital.

The Oireachtas Committee on Health has been told that BAM has said it will not meet its 18th substantial completion date of 30th of April for the new National Children's Hospital. Sinn Fein's Heath spokesman, David Cullinane.

This week Andrew Laird welcomes Dez Holmes, Director of Research in Practice and Strategic Director for Practice and Programmes at the National Children's Bureau. They discuss the role public services can play in making growing up great again! and why so many of our systems struggle at the point young people turn 18. Dez challenges the myth of a neat shift from ‘child' to ‘adult' and notes that for many people adulthood arrives earlier (caring responsibilities, adversity) or later (new responsibilities, work, family), but our systems often behave as if it happens at the same fixed point for everyone. Complex problems don't respond well to linear plans which pretend we can predict outcomes upfront. Andrew and Dez explore what it looks like to test a hypothesis, adapt in the light of evidence, and create the safety to learn. Above all, in this episode Dez reminds us that frustration with the system should never overpower hope and we must always ask ourselves: “what impact is this having in people's lives?” and not just “what have we delivered against the plan”?

Since February is National Children's Month, I thought about writing an essay on what my grandchildren have taught me. They are now in school with children of other cultures, and although they may have graduated from Crayola college, they are color blind and love their friends from other cultures. Recently, my grandson Trevor was teaching me to count to five in the Japanese language and even write the numbers. Since we will be celebrating Valentine's day next week, I have researched how to say I love you in 15 languages: German, French, Swedish, Polish, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Greenlandish, Finnish, Russian, Filipino, Korean, and Hawaiian. My deepest apologies if I mispronounced any of those. What is Love? By a teenager. "Love is an attitude. Love is a prayer for someone in sorrow, a heart in despair. Love extends good wishes for the gain of another. Love suffers long with the fault of a brother. Love gives water to a cup that's run dry. Love reaches low, love reaches high. Love seeks not his own at the expense of another. Love reaches God when it reaches a brother." This poem, What is Love, has a special place in my heart. I first heard that poem read by a young woman who is blind and read the poem with her fingers. A former student of mine from Florida sent me this poem - one of her favorites by Emily Matthews. A Poem for You: "A lifetime of love and a hug and a smile, a reason to visit and stay for a while. The strength of a bond that's destined to last, the joys of the present and the warmth of the past. These are the treasures a fortunate few are lucky to cherish all their lives through. These are the blessings on which we depend for these are the gifts of a very best friend.” Happy Valentine's Day!Warm Thoughts from the Little Home on the Prairie Over a Cup of Tea, written by Dr Luetta G WernerPublished in the Marion Record on February 8th, 2001Download the Found Photo Freebie and cherish your memories of the past.Enjoy flipping through the Vintage Photo Book on your coffee table.I hope you enjoyed this podcast episode!

The year 2001 is the Year of the Books, and January was National Book Month. The year 2001 is also the Year of the Child, and the month of February, Heart Month, is also National Children's month. Children can come up with pearls of wisdom that simply seem so amazing. I will share with you the wisdom of children who were asked by a teacher to write advice to their parents on how to raise children. 1. Don't give me everything I ask for. Sometimes I am just testing you to see how much I can get. 2. Don't always be giving orders. If you suggest something instead of giving a command, I will do it faster. 3. Don't keep changing your mind about what you want me to do. Make up your mind and stick to it. 4. Keep promises, both good and bad. If you promise a reward, make sure you give it to me. If you promise a punishment, make sure I get that too. 5. Don't compare me with anybody else, especially if the comparison will hurt somebody's feelings. I don't want to be considered smarter than anybody else, because it will hurt that person's feelings. If you make me out to be dumber than somebody else, then it will hurt my feelings. 6. Let me do as much for myself as I can. That's how I learn. If you do everything for me, I will never be able to do anything for myself. 7. Don't correct my mistakes in front of other people. Tell me how to improve when nobody is around. 8. Don't scream at me. It makes me scream back, and I don't want to be a screamer. Screamers sound awful. 9. Don't tell lies in front of me, or ask me to tell lies to help you out. It makes me think less of you and less of myself, even if I am supposed to be doing you a favor. 10. When I do something wrong, don't try to get me to tell you why I did it. Sometimes I don't know why myself. 11. Don't pay too much attention to me when I say I have a stomach ache. Playing sick can be a good way to get out of doing things I don't want to do, or going places I don't want to go. Make sure it's real. 12. When you are wrong about something, admit it. It won't hurt my opinion of you. It will make it easier for me to admit it when I'm wrong 13. Treat me like you would treat a friend. Then I will be your friend and you w be mine. Just because people are related does not mean they can't be polite and nice to each other. Can you guess how old these students were who wrote these 13 commandments? (not just 10!) They were in the fourth grade and ages 8 and 9 years old. What can I say? The children have given us their pearls of wisdom on how to raise children. All I can say is thanks to the children who made this first column in Heart Month so special. "The price of greatness is responsibility."

The robots may be coming for your job but 2026 might finally show signs of what has been predicted for years, truly useful robots but also a new vista for entertainment and museums including plans for Ireland's first National Children's Science Centre. 2026 is predicted by several tech experts to be the year when robots truly enter public life. Stories of humanoid robots back flipping, robots playing competitive basketball, expressive theme-park characters and machines capable of walking marathon distances are dominating headlines. At the same time, researchers have pushed the boundaries of what robots can learn, how fast they can adapt and how safely and reliably they can operate in everyday spaces.

Today, Christina Rouse engages with experts Dr. Brian Miller, developer of the CE-CERT (Components for Enhancing Career Wellbeing and Reducing Trauma) model, and Karen Hangartner, Director of Professional Services at the National Children's Advocacy Center. Together, they explore how the narratives professionals create about their work can either sustain or hinder their passion and commitment over time. They emphasize how the conscious narrative skill, one of the five domains of the CE-CERT model, helps professionals stay connected to their purpose and avoid burnout despite the challenges of working in high-trauma environments.  Through personal reflections and research, the episode encourages CAC professionals to embrace their work by finding joy in even the difficult moments, using tools like conscious narrative practices to frame their experiences positively. It discusses how supportive supervision and organizational culture play crucial roles in helping individuals maintain career-sustaining narratives, which ultimately foster resilience. By practicing self-reflection and mindful narratives, professionals can better serve their communities while finding fulfillment and longevity in their careers.

Send us a textHAPPY NATIONAL CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOK DAY!As you probably can tell, your papa is pretty excited about this one. Knowing personally the hard work and dedication it takes to create a children's book really helps me appreciate this day. When I wrote our books, I wanted to literally shrink down to the size of a kid and create a conversation with them, allowing them to create their own questions; giving them the control  to hopefully allow light bulbs to turn on for both child and parent at the time when their bedroom lights turn off and night lights brighten the room right before bed. For this show, I really wanted to showcase happiness and nostalgia.
