Podcasts about parent involvement

Send us a textAfter her eight-year-old son was expelled from school in the UK, Corianda Shepherd and her partner Joel left behind a life that no longer worked. They moved to rural Spain, bought the first house they saw, and slowly built Shepherd's Rest—a worldschooling community where families live together, learn in nature, and reject the idea that difference needs to be managed or corrected.This episode is not just about homeschooling. It's about what happens when the social structure becomes too rigid, when families are stretched thin, and when children who don't fit are sidelined. We talk about creating a different rhythm, not as an escape, but as a deliberate response to a system that has forgotten its purpose.Corianda shares how her sons began to thrive in a quieter environment, how a diagnosis doesn't have to define a life, and why she believes family—not institutions—should be the foundation for raising children. Together, we reflect on how the box society offers has become too small, and what it takes to build something more human outside it.

I try to visit. I try to get to know people.”“We can't ever forget that we are given this incredible opportunity—but also responsibility—to be a partner in raising the next generation of leaders, and if we don't own that and recognize the significance of it, we're failing our communities. No one's going to trust someone to be a partner in raising their kid unless they know that person and they know what they stand for."Stay in touch with Dr. Heidi Sipe:LinkedIn Stay in touch with Sarah Williamson:SWPR GROUP WebsiteLinkedInStay in touch with Chad Bolser:LinkedInAbout "The Secret to Transformational Leadership," which Sarah co-authored with Dr. Quintin Shepherd:Transformational Leadership Secret websitePurchase the print or ebook

Most of them just want their kid to be successful.   (4:26) What my kids respond to is giving them honest praise on things they can control.   (5:05) I just tell my kids that “if you want to stop playing sports now, I still love you.”   (10:05) The thing you can control is your effort and attitude, so that's how I'm gonna judge if I'm proud of you or not.    (12:47) You're not gonna bash your coach in front of me… that's not good for the team, and you're not gonna bash other teammates.    (13:07)  The best thing a parent can do is tell the coach “thank you.”   (15:30): One of the things I think is always important as a coach to parent/parent to coach is talk about it in person.   (22:25): If you're not sleeping on a regular basis, your body's out of whack, you're not gonna reach your full potential…your body's gonna wear down.   Resources Sign up for the Good Dads Newsletter and never miss a podcast!

Episode #92: For anyone who has been hurt by a friend--or a group of friends--recently or in the past, this 14-minute episode is for you. It's a solo episode that came from my reaction to a TikTok video I saw by a woman who was left out of a group trip years ago and has decided she will never trust anyone with her friendship again. Other titles I considered: (and all relate to this 14-minute episode!)Not All Women Are Vicious Don't Let Being Left Out Dictate Your Future FriendshipsDon't Overly Focus on the Friends Who Rejected YouYou (and your kids) Will Survive Being Left Out There is a Natural Drifting From Friends at Each Age and Stage of LifeIn other words, I covered all of the above in this one. LINKS MENTIONED:The TikTok video I'm reacting to in this episode “Why Big Friend Groups Often Fail and Helping Kids Handle Friendship Conflict” with Dr. Lisa Damour“I'm Just Not Into This Friendship” with Ruchi Koval“Friends Will Hang Out Without You” with Taryn Kessel“Difficult Teen Friendships and Parent Involvement” with Stephanie Sprenger“Every Friendship Starts or Deepens With an Act of Bravery” with Amy Weatherly and Jess JohnstonQUOTES FROM THE EPISODE: "There's so much focus on who wasn't interested, who drifted away, who left, who left you out, who left your kid out. Let's focus on who said yes. That is where our energy should be.”“I don't think it's a good idea to ‘normalize,' to use an extremely overused word on the internet, turning our lives upside down when friends do things without us. If we're going to normalize anything, let's normalize that friends WILL hang out without us.

How do we get started with finding the most effective and helpful mental health treatment for our children? In this episode, Gerald and Alexis are joined by Dr. David Langer from Suffolk University to discuss a more collaborative approach to understand and begin a wellness journey through therapy.Dr. Langer Clinical specializes in child and adolescent psychology; treatment efficacy and effectiveness; psychosocial treatment process; child and adolescent psychopathology; personalizing treatment planning; shared decision-making.He explores questions of how do we help children and families when a child is anxious or depressed? More specifically, how do we identify which treatments are the most likely to be effective for anxiety, depression, or any other mental health issue (treatment effectiveness); figure out how those treatments work (treatment process); and adapt treatments to fit the needs, preferences, and values of individual families (treatment personalization)?Dr. Langer's research, in collaboration with students and colleagues, explores the efficacy and effectiveness of psychosocial treatments for youth psychopathology and the processes through which psychosocial treatments work. With funding from the National Institute of Mental Health, he is currently developing novel approaches to personalize psychosocial treatments for youth by supporting active collaboration between clinicians and families throughout the treatment planning process (i.e., shared decision-making). Of the many practices and processes to investigate, focusing on treatment planning is highly promising because: 1) the treatment planning process is relevant across disorders and other presenting problems across the lifespan, and 2) improved treatment planning provides an opportunity, at the start of treatment, to address treatment-related issues which have been important to the field of clinical child and adolescent psychology for decades (e.g., utilization of evidence-based treatments, patient engagement in clinical services).The ReidConnect-Ed Podcast is hosted by Alexis Reid and Dr. Gerald Reid, produced by Cyber Sound Studios, and original music is written and recorded by Gerald Reid.*Please note that different practitioners may have different opinions- this is our perspective and is intended to educate you on what may be possible.Be curious.

Mzee Kadumu Moyenda was born on May 18, 1951 and grew up in New York City where he attended elementary, junior high and high school. He completed two years at Westchester Community College in Valhala, New York, after which he transferred to San Diego State University, majoring in Political Science with a minor in African/Black studies receiving his bachelor degree in 1986. His varied background includes working as an assistant tailor, working for an insurance company, the New York City Housing Authority, and a stint in the United States Navy stationed at North Island in San Diego, California. While attending college he worked as a school bus driver for the San Diego Unified School District. He referred to his bus as the “rolling classroom,” where he would instruct his student passengers on everything from grooming to respecting each other. This experience was a spring board to the position as an elementary school teacher with the San Diego Unified School District, where he retired in 2011. His goal as a teacher was to assist his students in reaching their potential for academic excellence, cultural self-esteem and mutual respect.Mzee Kadumu believes in the philosophy of Carter G. Woodson, which teaches that we should properly educate ourselves and to volunteer at least one year of service to our community. His past involvement in the African (Black) American Community was commendable. He was involved in the Center for Parent Involvement in Education (C-Pie) as a facilitator Assisting parents in understanding the educational system in order to get the best for their child. As an Mzee (Elder) in the Rites of Passage Foundation for Boys and Girls in San Diego he worked with boys, aged from12-17, to meet the challenges and responsibilities of manhood. Acting in the capacity as an iridologist, he gave presentations on health care through the use of proper nutrition, healing herbs and a healthy lifestyle.Mzee Kadumu's ongoing goal is not only to help his community but to teach them to help themselves. Currently he is a Master Gardener, working with community gardens and private individuals to not only become   self-sustainable but to grow “quality food” for a healthier life style.Mzee Kadumu truly believes that though some of us are in our latter season it does not mean we cannot make contributions to our community. STAY STRONG, STAY RIGHT FOCUSED.

Devin has officially moved to Orlando and has some highs and lows reflecting on the difference in schools that his kids attend.
