In this episode, I'm sharing a very personal reflection on effort, performance, and the fine line between healthy striving and perfectionism - all inspired by a weekend dance show with my daughters. From pre-show nerves to post-performance self-criticism, I saw just how early we start internalising pressure to get things exactly right.I'm talking about masking, memory processing challenges, the invisible cost of always “trying,” and why sometimes the most powerful leadership lesson is watching a professional forget the words to Phantom of the Opera - and carry on with a smile. If you've been stuck in all-or-nothing mode lately, this one's a reminder that joy often shows up in the moments we don't choreograph.Here are the highlights:Parental Concerns and Neurodiversity (2:58)Balancing Effort and Perfectionism (4:55)Learning from Mistakes (7:30)Finding Joy in Imperfection (10:29)Connect with Ruth:Instagram LinkedIn WebsiteThis podcast is proudly produced by The Podcast Boutique

Kids and teens are experiencing less independence than in the past — whether due to screen time, parents' fears of letting them roam freely, or other factors. It's a problem. But why? And what can be done? In this episode, host Dr. Delaney Ruston discusses this important topic with journalist Lenore Skenazy, who was labeled “America's Worst Mom” after letting her 9-year-old take the New York City subway home alone. Skenazy has spent years sounding the alarm on the harms of decreased youth autonomy, including co-founding Let Grow with psychologists Jonathan Haidt and Peter Gray. This episode explores the factors contributing to decreased independence and offers tools for parents and schools to combat this trend. It also examines the role of technology and tracking devices in this context, addressing both their benefits and potential pitfalls.

Peter Gray is a psychologist and author of Free to Learn. For many years, he has been studying the importance of play. Gray discusses his perspective on the ideal education system, which he believes should be a bottom-up movement rather than a top-down imposition. He emphasizes the importance of self-directed education where children have the freedom to follow their curiosity and interests. Gray explains how traditional schooling stifles curiosity and playfulness, and traces the historical roots of the current education system. He also highlights the sociopolitical factors that have contributed to the decline of children's mental health, arguing against the popular notion that social media is the primary cause. Additionally, the conversation touches on the impact of economic inequality on parenting styles and child freedom. Gray shares his current projects, including initiatives aimed at encouraging more free play in schools and educating pediatricians on the importance of play, while offering practical advice for parents to support their children's independence and curiosity. Transcript and links here: https://www.thendobetter.com/arts/2024/11/1/peter-gray-transforming-education-play-self-directed-learning-parenting-podcast "If offered the opportunity to redesign the entire educational system as a top-down thing, me being the czar of education and telling everybody else what they should do, I would decline the offer...it really has to emerge from the bottom up." "Education works best when the people being educated are in charge of it... Children are biologically designed to learn through exploration, through play." "Our school system suppresses curiosity and playfulness...the two primary biological educative drives in children." "Ask your child: 'What would you like to do that you haven't done before that might be a little bit frightening but that you'd really like to try?' It's how children build courage and how parents build trust."

On today's episode of the "Helping Families Be Happy" podcast, host Christopher Robbins, co-founder of Familius Publishing, husband, father of nine, author, fisherman, backpacker, and aspirational musician based in the Central Valley of California, talks to Sarah Smith; a distinguished district librarian from California's Central Valley about books and the current book banning trend within the United States.    Having served as a high school librarian and English teacher, Sarah's passion now extends to professionally reviewing manga and graphic novels for esteemed publications like Booklist and School Library Journal. she has penned articles for California English and Diamond Bookshelf, enhancing our understanding of the written word. Her voice has enriched podcasts such as School Librarians United and The Literacy Advocate, and her expertise has been showcased at conferences hosted by the American Library Association and the School Library Journal Summit.   Episode Highlights: 01:58 Christopher opens the dialogue with a reflection on the current state of book banning and censorship in the United States, emphasizing its unprecedented scale and acknowledges the need to balance the protection of our right to read with parental concerns over potentially objectionable content. 02:34 Statistics reveal a significant rise in challenged titles in libraries, with a shift towards collective challenges on multiple books rather than individual titles. 04:22 Sarah describes the issue of book banning as a significant element in a wider cultural conflict, particularly as a means to challenge public education. She notes that the pandemic, by bringing school into the home, gave some parents a closer look at educational content, which has spurred a pushback against certain materials. 05:27 Sarah reveals a startling statistic from a recent study showing that a majority of the book challenges can be traced back to a relatively small number of individuals, suggesting the influence of a vocal minority rather than a widespread movement. 07:38 Christopher seeks Sarah's insight on how parents can address concerns about content their children are exposed to in school libraries. 09:06 Sarah touches on regional differences in content appropriateness, particularly within California's diverse political landscape. She discusses the challenges librarians face in ensuring age-appropriate content and the reliance on various tools and resources to assist in book selection. 10:49 The goal of reconsiderations process is to approach concerns objectively and fairly, without succumbing to emotional or biased judgments, says Sarah. 11:56 Christopher clarifies the objective criteria in place for parents to submit concerns about content and the inclusive review process involving various community members. 13:19 Christopher discusses the variability of policies across districts and states, and the importance for parents to be informed about their school's specific policies. 13:35 Sarah advises parents to check school board policies on their school's website, typically found under the instruction section, to understand the policy regarding book challenges. 14:26 Sarah emphasizes the importance of civility when parents address concerns with schools, suggesting that a polite approach is more effective. 16:34 Sarah introduces the idea of parents discussing content limitations directly with libraries, potentially preventing the need for book removals. She shares a personal anecdote about respecting a parent's request to restrict specific genres for their child and notes that this is a right parents have. 18:51 Christopher also discusses cultural literacy, encouraging exposure to a broad range of literature, music, and film to enrich children's understanding of the human experience. 20:10 On constitutional aspect, Christopher questions how current cultural conflicts and legislation align with the freedom of speech and the freedom to read as guaranteed by the First Amendment. 21:27 Sara mentions guidance issued by the California District Attorney in June, reminding schools of their obligation to follow due process when considering the removal of books, underlining potential consequences for failing to do so. 22:46 Christopher inquiries about historical precedents for comic censorship, leading to a discussion on the Comics Code Authority established in response to accusations that comics were contributing to juvenile delinquency. 23:40 Sara explains the self-regulatory measures of the comics industry to avoid Congressional censorship and how the 1980s saw a shift with publishers choosing to ignore the Comics Code to produce content for mature audiences. 25:54 Sarah stresses the diligence that goes into selecting books for libraries, pointing out that professional reviews are a resource for librarians and can be a tool for parents as well. She mentions that professional reviews are available for parents to check if a book is age-appropriate and suggests that these resources can also guide parental choices. 28:16 Christopher discusses the importance of trade publications in the library collection development process and their availability on platforms like Amazon.   Key Points:  Christopher and Sarah explore the concerning trend of book banning in the U.S., discussing the need to find a balance between protecting the freedom to read and addressing parental concerns over certain educational content. Sarah offers insights on the book selection process in libraries, emphasizing the role of professional reviews and trade publications to ensure age-appropriateness, and suggests that direct communication between parents and libraries can pre-emptively address content concerns. The conversation also addresses the constitutional implications of book banning, historical censorship in comics, and the importance of cultural literacy, underscoring the significance of due process and civility in the discourse around library content and book challenges.   Tweetable Quotes: "Unprecedented scale of book banning in the U.S. calls for a balance between our right to read and addressing parental content concerns." - Christopher Robbins "A vocal minority, not a widespread movement, often drives the rise in book challenges." - Sarah Smith "Civility and direct communication with libraries can address content concerns more effectively than book removals." - Sarah Smith "Cultural literacy is enriched by exposure to a broad range of literature, music, and film." - Christopher Robbins   Resources Mentioned Helping Families Be Happy Podcast Apple https://www.graphiclibrary.org/about-me.html Podcast Editing

Whatever your thoughts on what money can or can't do for you, one thing is clear. It can provide you with the space to deal with life's uncertainties. You never stop being a parent and for the working and or enterprising parent(s) it's nice to know that they can support their children through life. I'm talking about the kind of support that can help them grow and propagate the same nurturing and supportive environment to their own children.

In this episode, I talk with a parent in Western Washington who has school-aged children. Lindy Loo has been trying for months to communicate with her local school board regarding how she feels about coronavirus mandates in schools. Lindy and other parents in the school district feel unrepresented. In my perspective, civil servants and civilians are mutually responsible for the erosion of government and institutional representation. During coronavirus, many parents' attention was turned to how our officials would handle schooling. In the final hour, people realized that they wanted to participate in determining how and what their children were taught more than they originally thought. When people disagreed with the decision of government officials, they were compelled to participate in institutional politics. People reconciled that they are at the behest of officials that they voted for. Some of us have voted blindly, maybe with little research into officials, or we didn't vote at all. I realized quickly that my child's education was determined by an organization that I felt disconnected from. I have values and experiences that are important to me to impart when raising my son. How do I impart my style of teaching when it is beyond my control? When it comes to: if my son can wear a hat in school, if he's taught math in an alternative way, if he has to follow a certain schedule he isn't pleased with - I have no objection. We have to compromise with each other at some point. But we as people have the right and responsibility to provide our input, our perspective, our intelligence, and our styling to the public institution of schooling. Most people haven't been doing this until things got so divergent from their values that Washington Public schools have lost 3.5% of students since corona-virus; nearly doubling registered homeschool students in Washington state. Parents have an array of concerns on both sides of the table with Coronavirus. In corporate media, I don't see perspectives like Lindy's: a parent who doesn't want their child to be subjugated to medical mandates that prevent a child from accessing public education or force them to follow institutional protocol due to the inability to care for the child all day, every day.

The COVID-19 vaccine offers some challenges for addressing the vaccine hesitant parent. We sat down with Dr. Donna Hallas to discuss how to communicate with parents as well as how to address vaccines missed because of the pandemic.
