You've spent years blaming your mom for your anxious attachment, but what if she's only part of the story?I am kicking off a brand new series today and I cannot wait to get into it with you. We're calling it "Attachment Theory Got an Upgrade," because after years of watching this concept get flattened on social media, I wanted to bring you the real, nuanced, research-backed picture, starting with the biggest myth of all: that your attachment style comes entirely from your parents. It doesn't. A massive 30-year longitudinal study followed 705 people from infancy into their thirties, and the findings are about to change how you think about every relationship struggle you've ever had.Inside the episode:Why your relationship with your mother explains some of your attachment style, but far from all of it, and what actually fills in the rest of the pictureThe surprising role your childhood friendships played in shaping how you love today, especially if your parent relationships were genuinely healthy and you're still wondering why romance feels so hardMy own story of what moving constantly as a kid taught me about self-reliance, staying guarded, and becoming a chameleon, and how that followed me into adulthoodReady to move from awareness to actual change?

On this episode of The Forgotten Podcast, host Jami Kaeb welcomes Dr. Dusty Hess, a nationally recognized functional medical doctor, speaker, author, and founder of Upstream Health. Together, they explore a critical topic for foster and adoptive families: understanding and supporting children who have been impacted by prenatal drug and alcohol exposure. Dr. Hess helps shift the narrative for struggling caregivers, offering profound hope by explaining that what often presents as behavioral defiance is actually a physiological response from a nervous system adapted to survive difficult circumstances. Dr. Hess details the biological mechanics of how substances and chronic maternal stress alter brain development in the womb, impacting neuron formation, dopamine pathways, and stress response systems. He breaks down the behavioral clues that indicate a child is living in a chronic fight-or-flight state, including explosive emotional reactions, sensory sensitivities, sleep disturbances, and difficulty with transitions. Throughout the episode, he emphasizes the importance of looking beneath surface behaviors, documenting patterns with curiosity, and addressing underlying biological causes like gut-brain connection issues, blood sugar instability, and toxic burdens. Rather than relying on legalistic or punitive parenting strategies, Dr. Hess equips caregivers with practical ways to build biological safety through environmental changes. He shares actionable tips for establishing consistent household rhythms, creating soothing bedtime routines to improve sleep quality, and regulating a child's nervous system by maintaining a calm, organized home. Packed with encouragement, this conversation reminds parents that healing is a gradual, directional process and that even small, intentional steps can powerfully shape a child's path toward safety and wholeness. About the Guest Dr. Dusty Hess is a nationally recognized functional medical doctor, author, speaker, and the founder of Upstream Health, a movement dedicated to helping Christian families reclaim their health through God's original design. Through his practice and public speaking, Dr. Hess specializes in getting to the root cause of chronic health and neurological challenges by looking at biological, environmental, and lifestyle factors. He is passionate about empowering caregivers and foster parents with personalized, practical tools that foster long-term healing and biological safety for vulnerable children. In This Episode Recognizing the behavioral clues of prenatal drug and alcohol exposure, including emotional volatility, transition challenges, and sensory sensitivities. How prenatal substance exposure and maternal stress alter brain development, dopamine pathways, and nervous system regulation. The biological drivers behind dysregulation, including the gut-brain connection, blood sugar swings, and sleep dysfunction. Practical tools for creating biological safety at home through consistent rhythms, calming bedtime routines, and an organized, regulated environment.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore new teen focused safeguards in ChatGPT and what they can, and cannot, do for young people. They discuss emotional dependence, study tools, discernment, and the temptation to let AI replace the struggle and relationships that make learning meaningful. Parents will be encouraged to help teens use technology wisely while forming them to recognize trustworthy voices and stay rooted in relationships and truth that AI cannot replace.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!! So.. we (Alex & Jules) found ourselves in some heat over our video games after kids take from Friday, so we had to get a guy's POV.. and you guys? He may have even HOTTER takes. Turns out Harrison was a GAMER gamer back in the day (18-hour Grand Theft Auto Sundays.. we have questions), but as a dad he has rules: there are more productive ways to decompress, never let it eat family time, and play when everyone's asleep. Then Jules asks the question that will surely put us back in the comments: are video games just Cocomelon for adults?! But before ALL that: it's officially HYROX race week for the dads (we're heading to DC later this week!) We settle the great seasonal debate: when does summer ACTUALLY end? Alex says Labor Day, Harrison says September 21st because "the sun does not lie." Plus Saturn Return (why your life flips upside down between 26 and 29.. planets, maybe!) and Tinx's 3-articles-a-day challenge. We're in. On the home front: Tate had her first gymnastics class

How did you feel? Why do you think they didn't stop? How did you handle the situation? - Why is it not okay for friends to punish each other? How is punishment different from a logical consequence? (Hint: A logical consequence is the natural result of an action. For instance, if you are mean to a friend, the logical consequence is that the friend won't want to be around you. If you blab a friend's secret, the logical consequence is that friend won't trust you with another secret. ) *** You might also like these podcast episodes:Ep. 43 - Friend cut her hair!

“Honor your father and your mother” - The 5th Commandment is about more than children obeying their parents. God calls us to honor our parents throughout our lives by listening, respecting, caring, and giving thanks. Yet we have all fallen short. We have rebelled against authority and trusted our own wisdom rather than believing God is truly for our good. Jesus was the perfect Son who honored his parents and obeyed his heavenly Father even to the point of death on the cross. Through him, rebellious children can come home to a Father who loves us, welcomes us, and is always for our good.

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Jennifer Ledwith. Founder of Scholar Ready, discussed how families can successfully prepare for college while minimizing or eliminating student loan debt. Drawing from her personal experience of graduating from college with minimal debt and her work helping students earn scholarships since 2004, she shared practical strategies for test preparation, scholarship acquisition, college planning, and financial decision-making. The conversation focused on the growing cost of higher education, the dangers of excessive student loan borrowing, and the importance of early planning for both students and parents. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Help families understand how to reduce college costs. Educate parents about scholarships, student loans, and financial planning. Explain the importance of test preparation in securing scholarships. Provide a roadmap for students seeking debt-free college graduation. Raise awareness about common misconceptions surrounding college affordability. Discuss how AI is affecting student preparedness and scholarship applications. Key Takeaways 1. College Planning Should Start Early Jennifer emphasized that waiting until a student reaches senior year can limit scholarship opportunities. The ideal preparation process begins during: Middle school Freshman year Sophomore year Junior year Early preparation creates more options and stronger scholarship opportunities. 2. Scholarships Require More Than Good Grades According to Jennifer, successful scholarship candidates typically excel in three critical areas: Academic performance Standardized test scores Strong personal essays Families often focus on only one area while neglecting the others. 3. Student Loan Debt Can Be Avoided A central message of the interview is that many students can significantly reduce or avoid debt through strategic planning. This includes: Applying for scholarships early Understanding college costs Preparing for admissions exams Making financially sound college choices Jennifer built Scholar Ready specifically to help students accomplish those goals. 4. The Cost of College Requires Serious Financial Planning Jennifer compared paying for college to buying a home. She explained that families often spend months preparing for homeownership but approach college with far less planning despite similar costs. Her advice is to treat college as a major financial investment that requires preparation and professional guidance. 5. Not Every Expensive College Is the Best Financial Choice One of the myths Jennifer seeks to dispel is that private or out-of-state schools are always unaffordable. She explained that: Some private schools offer generous scholarships. Some out-of-state schools offer competitive aid packages. The actual cost may be lower than local options after scholarships are applied. Families should evaluate net cost rather than sticker price. 6. Parents Need Education Too Jennifer stressed that college planning isn't just for students. Parents need a clear understanding of: Scholarships Financial aid Loan options College affordability Long-term financial consequences Scholar Ready offers classes specifically designed to educate parents throughout the process. 7. Student Debt Is Becoming More Complex The interview explored changes in student lending and how borrowing limits can impact families. Jennifer noted that many students and parents are increasingly turning to private loans when federal aid falls short, often creating larger financial risks. 8. AI Can Become a Crutch Jennifer expressed concerns about students overusing artificial intelligence tools for writing assignments. While AI can support brainstorming and editing, excessive reliance can weaken: Writing skills Grammar skills Critical thinking Test performance Students eventually face standardized tests where AI cannot help them. 9. Standardized Tests Still Matter Despite changes in admissions practices, Jennifer believes strong SAT, ACT, and PSAT scores remain valuable, particularly when competing for scholarship dollars. Test preparation continues to play a significant role in scholarship success. 10. Different Families Need Different Solutions Scholar Ready offers multiple service options because every family enters the process with different: Timelines Goals Budgets Academic needs Jennifer believes effective college planning must be customized rather than one-size-fits-all. Key Themes Debt-Free College The interview centers on helping students graduate without burdensome student loan debt. Education as an Investment Jennifer encourages families to view college planning as a long-term financial strategy rather than a last-minute decision. Parent Involvement Parents play a crucial role in preparing students emotionally, academically, and financially. Preparation Creates Opportunity Students who prepare earlier gain access to more scholarship opportunities and better outcomes. Financial Literacy Understanding the financial side of higher education is just as important as academic preparation. Notable Quotes On Her Mission "I wanted to help students do the same thing that I did, which was to graduate from college with little to no student loan debt." On Rising College Costs "The household incomes are not keeping up with the rising cost of college." On College Planning "We need to take that same approach when it comes to college." On Scholarships "The grades, the essays and the test scores have to be on point." On Private Schools "Don't apply to a school out of state, don't apply to a private college because those colleges are going to be too much. No, not necessarily." On Scholarship Strategy "Do not start there. Start at the college or university." On AI "They've been using AI as a crutch." On Standardized Testing "There is no AI on the test." On Preparation "We're starting early." On Student Success "I am trying to pour that into my younger students." Success Highlights Founded Scholar Ready in 2004. Helped students earn scholarships and reduce college debt. Built a nationwide educational services company. Developed programs for both students and parents. Expanded services to include test preparation, essay coaching, and college planning. Studied personal financial planning and became a Certified Financial Planner to better serve families. Bottom Line Jennifer Ledwith's interview provides a practical roadmap for families seeking a more affordable path to higher education. Her message is clear: the rising cost of college requires intentional planning, early preparation, and informed decision-making. Through scholarship strategies, academic preparation, parent education, and financial literacy, students can significantly reduce debt and increase their opportunities for long-term success. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

1046. Did your teenager earn money from a summer or part-time job? Laura answers a listener's question about two tax-advantaged savings accounts for minors: the Roth IRA and the new Trump Account. You'll learn how both accounts work and where working teens or their parents should put their hard-earned dollars first.Key Takeaways:Minors can have a custodial Roth IRA when they earn income from W-2 employment or self-employment and contribute up to $7,500 or 100% of earned income, whichever is less.A Section 530A Trump Account can be opened for kids under 18 regardless of whether they earn income, and contributions can total $5,000 annually.A Roth IRA offers tax-free growth and tax-free withdrawals in retirement.A Trump Account grows tax-deferred, and once the owner turns 18, it becomes a traditional IRA, with distributions taxed (except for contributions that were previously taxed).Parents or relatives do not need to use a minor's money to fund a Roth IRA; they can match or make an eligible contribution for the minor.After age 18, doing a Roth conversion on an old Trump Account is a wise move to lock in tax-free growth forever.Eligible working minors can max out a Custodial Roth IRA up to their earnings limit and receive up to $5,000 in a Trump Account from family, friends, or employers in the same tax year.Discover more from Money Girl!FacebookNewsletterTranscripts available at QuickandDirtyTips.com.Email: Laura@LauraDAdams.com or leave a voicemail: (302) 364-0308.

Student Loan Debt Can Be Avoided A central message of the interview is that many students can significantly reduce or avoid debt through strategic planning. This includes: Applying for scholarships early Understanding college costs Preparing for admissions exams Making financially sound college choices Jennifer built Scholar Ready specifically to help students accomplish those goals. 4. The Cost of College Requires Serious Financial Planning Jennifer compared paying for college to buying a home. She explained that families often spend months preparing for homeownership but approach college with far less planning despite similar costs. Her advice is to treat college as a major financial investment that requires preparation and professional guidance. 5. Not Every Expensive College Is the Best Financial Choice One of the myths Jennifer seeks to dispel is that private or out-of-state schools are always unaffordable. She explained that: Some private schools offer generous scholarships. Some out-of-state schools offer competitive aid packages. The actual cost may be lower than local options after scholarships are applied. Families should evaluate net cost rather than sticker price. 6. Parents Need Education Too Jennifer stressed that college planning isn't just for students. Parents need a clear understanding of: Scholarships Financial aid Loan options College affordability Long-term financial consequences Scholar Ready offers classes specifically designed to educate parents throughout the process. 7. Student Debt Is Becoming More Complex The interview explored changes in student lending and how borrowing limits can impact families. Jennifer noted that many students and parents are increasingly turning to private loans when federal aid falls short, often creating larger financial risks. 8. AI Can Become a Crutch Jennifer expressed concerns about students overusing artificial intelligence tools for writing assignments. While AI can support brainstorming and editing, excessive reliance can weaken: Writing skills Grammar skills Critical thinking Test performance Students eventually face standardized tests where AI cannot help them. 9. Standardized Tests Still Matter Despite changes in admissions practices, Jennifer believes strong SAT, ACT, and PSAT scores remain valuable, particularly when competing for scholarship dollars. Test preparation continues to play a significant role in scholarship success. 10. Different Families Need Different Solutions Scholar Ready offers multiple service options because every family enters the process with different: Timelines Goals Budgets Academic needs Jennifer believes effective college planning must be customized rather than one-size-fits-all. Key Themes Debt-Free College The interview centers on helping students graduate without burdensome student loan debt. Education as an Investment Jennifer encourages families to view college planning as a long-term financial strategy rather than a last-minute decision. Parent Involvement Parents play a crucial role in preparing students emotionally, academically, and financially. Preparation Creates Opportunity Students who prepare earlier gain access to more scholarship opportunities and better outcomes. Financial Literacy Understanding the financial side of higher education is just as important as academic preparation. Notable Quotes On Her Mission "I wanted to help students do the same thing that I did, which was to graduate from college with little to no student loan debt." On Rising College Costs "The household incomes are not keeping up with the rising cost of college." On College Planning "We need to take that same approach when it comes to college." On Scholarships "The grades, the essays and the test scores have to be on point." On Private Schools "Don't apply to a school out of state, don't apply to a private college because those colleges are going to be too much. No, not necessarily." On Scholarship Strategy "Do not start there. Start at the college or university." On AI "They've been using AI as a crutch." On Standardized Testing "There is no AI on the test." On Preparation "We're starting early." On Student Success "I am trying to pour that into my younger students." Success Highlights Founded Scholar Ready in 2004.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore new neuroscience showing that the brain is built not only to remember the past, but to imagine possible futures. They discuss how security, identity, wonder, and the Eight Great Smarts can help kids picture who they might become without forcing them into a parent's preferred path. Parents will be encouraged to slow down, ask better questions, create opportunities for exploration, and help children develop confidence that God can guide them toward a future they cannot fully see yet.

Friendship problems rarely arrive with a handy instruction manual. A child comes home hurt, angry, or feeling left out, and a parent is left wondering whether to listen, offer advice, step in, or quietly confiscate every phone in the house.In this episode of The Whinypaluza Podcast, Rebecca Greene talks with award-winning author, speaker, and parenting resource expert Jessica Speer about helping children and teens navigate the complicated social world of friendships, peer pressure, group dynamics, screens, and middle school.Jessica explains that many friendship struggles are not evidence that a child or friend is “bad.” Often, young people are still learning communication, conflict resolution, boundary-setting, and other social-emotional skills. Parents can help by listening without immediately trying to fix the problem, practicing difficult conversations, and teaching children to notice when repeated harmful behavior may require a stronger boundary.Rebecca and Jessica also discuss why social challenges feel more intense in a digital world. Group chats and social media can keep friendship drama going long after the school day ends, leaving children with more opportunities to compare, assume, ruminate, and feel excluded. Jessica offers practical guidance for talking about technology without making every conversation negative, preparing children for peer pressure, and creating a safe plan that allows them to call home when they need help.At the heart of the conversation is the power of co-regulation. When a child comes home emotionally overwhelmed, a parent's calm presence can help settle the child's nervous system. Children do not always need an immediate solution. They need to feel seen, heard, and supported by a steady adult who believes in them.In This Episode, You Will Learn✓ How to distinguish normal friendship conflict from repeated behavior that may require stronger boundaries.✓ Why tweens and teens may remain in unhealthy friend groups because belonging feels developmentally essential.✓ How phones, group chats, and social media can intensify exclusion, comparison, assumptions, and anxiety.✓ Why a parent's calm nervous system can help an emotionally overwhelmed child co-regulate.✓ Which physical and behavioral changes may signal that a child needs additional support.Jessica leaves parents with an honest and hopeful reminder: children do not need perfect parents who solve every social problem. They need caring adults who keep learning, stay connected, model healthy responses, and take care of their own well-being too.Listen to The Whinypaluza Podcast on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-whinypaluza-podcast/id1534167756If this episode helps your family, please like, follow, share it with another parent, and leave a review.About Jessica SpeerJessica Speer is an award-winning author, speaker, and parenting resource expert who helps children, teens, and families navigate friendships, social challenges, digital life, and growing up with confidence.

Founder of Scholar Ready, discussed how families can successfully prepare for college while minimizing or eliminating student loan debt.

It's back to school season, and if your child's classroom is hosting a back to school night or curriculum night, you may be wondering what to actually listen for, what to ask, and how to ask it without feeling like "that parent."In episode 97, Miss Beth kicks off a new series on curriculum and homework questions. She breaks down what a typical back to school night covers, the difference between general classroom questions and specific reading questions, and how to raise a concern about curriculum (like a list of sight words to memorize) without putting a teacher on the defensive.You'll learn: Why back to school night is not the time to interrogate a teacher, and what "going in with curiosity" actually sounds like The single best general question to ask any teacher: "What does a typical day look like?" Why asking how a teacher prefers to communicate can prevent problems before they start The exact phrasing to use if your child comes home with a sight word or memorization-based assignment Reading-specific questions to ask, including what to say instead of "Do you teach phonics?" The one answer about "what to do when a child gets stuck on a word" that should raise a red flag How to build a relationship with a teacher who seems resistant to questions, and when to escalate to a principal instead A five-question shortlist if you only have time to ask a few things Extra questions for parents of high-achieving or easily frustrated kids, including how a classroom handles mistakesBack to school night can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying to figure out whether a classroom's approach to reading lines up with the science of reading. But you don't need to memorize curriculum names or challenge a teacher on day one. A few well-placed, curious questions can tell you almost everything you need to know.You don't have to choose between trusting your child's teacher and advocating for your child. You can do both.Links mentioned: Download our free sight word guide hereAbout the host Beth Gaskill @BigCityReaders (Miss Beth) is a reading specialist, early childhood educator, and founder of Big City Readers.

That leads into a detour on Flock license-plate cameras popping up everywhere, capped off by a city hall speech from a guy in a full Darth Vader costume that has to be heard to be believed.   From there it's Target's Halloween costume controversy - the one that got pulled and forced a public apology - which turns into a rundown of the worst, most tone-deaf costumes the guys have personally witnessed. There's also a detour into kids' shows sneaking jokes in for the parents, courtesy of a very memorable Bluey-style clip about the letter N.   We close out with a start-bench-cut sent over from Clutch Points: SGA, Luka Doncic and Anthony Edwards.

He describes how the pressure shows up again when young adults choose careers, values, or lifestyles their parents did not expect, and argues that parents cannot control their young adults but can still influence them by shifting from caretaking to encouraging independence. He closes with a parent report card for measuring parenting against love, consistency, apology, and letting go. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://parentslettinggo.com/am-i-a-good-enough-parent/ Quotes to ponder: "Striving for perfection or even excellence is a recipe for a life of guilt." "Don't strive for perfection in your parenting because your kids will also believe they must be perfect."

Sam is recording poolside, Jess is embracing her agentic era, and somehow that's the least chaotic part of this week's episode. The squad digs into Meta's $17 billion settlement over child safety and whether social media should basically be treated like alcohol, before asking the harder question: are parents even capable of competing with algorithms anymore? Dave says parents are “outgunned,” Sam thinks most parental controls are useless policy theater, Brit wants to rethink the operating system itself, and Jess would simply like her kids to touch grass. Then, with Tim Cook preparing to pass the torch at Apple, the group debates his real legacy, whether 15 years of world-class optimization was enough, why Apple Silicon may turn out to be his most important AI bet, and whether Apple's decision to sit out the AI infrastructure arms race will eventually look brilliant or like the company completely missed the next era.Chapters:0:00 Episode start1:06 Sam goes poolside and everyone's agents are working4:35 Jessica enters her agentic era7:51 Meta's $17B child safety settlement33:37 Could AI finally make parental controls useful?38:47 Why Apple keeps escaping the kids-and-tech debate43:29 Tim Cook's Apple farewell 49:58 Apple Intelligence and Cook's unfinished AI legacy57:49 Backstreet Boys, the US Open and sign-offWe're also on ↓X: https://twitter.com/moreorlesspodInstagram: https://instagram.com/moreorlessYouTube: https://youtu.be/6HO6naKM8yEConnect with us here:1) Sam Lessin: https://x.com/lessin2) Dave Morin: https://x.com/davemorin3) Jessica Lessin: https://x.com/Jessicalessin4) Brit Morin: https://x.com/brit

Hey Friends~  Have you ever thought about what your baby is actually experiencing when you sing to them? Because it turns out, your baby doesn't care whether you think you can sing. Your baby wants to hear you sing.  And those little moments of singing, playing, smiling, and simply enjoying each other can do far more than fill the time. They can help build secure connection, support emotional regulation, and even lay foundations for language. Today's guest, musician, music therapist, and psychotherapist: Vered, calls some of these experiences “Bubble Moments”:  those beautiful moments when you and your child are genuinely happy together.  And what I love is that she says we don't have to just wait for those moments to happen. We can actually create them, especially in the ordinary, repeatable moments of our day. And then Vered said something that absolutely fascinated me: a song can become an emotional transitional object for a child, much like a favorite blanket or pacifier, because the music itself holds feeling. Today, we're talking about music, play, connection, regulation, sound and silence, and the surprising ways all of it can support your child's communication and language.  And yes, even if you're convinced you cannot sing, this episode is for you! Always cheering you on!  Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn:  hello@thelanguageofplay.com Have a QUESTION or COMMENT?

Yesterday, tech company Meta settled a lawsuit in regards to children's safety on social media. This ruling will make them pay out $18 billion dollars to 48 U.S. states and 3 territories. New restrictions will also be placed on Meta's apps, including a two-hour daily limit, pauses for children, no overnight notifications, no notifications during school hours, and more.

What you look for, you will find. I have believed that about motherhood for a long time now, long enough that I built a whole journal around the idea, and I have heard from hundreds of mothers who have had the same experience. They weren't finding more good because their children had suddenly changed. They were finding more good because they had started looking for it. That is the whole heart of today's principle, and I love teaching it because it is such a happy way to parent. It makes you feel like a good mom. It reminds you that your kids are awesome, even on the days they are hard. And it gives you hope that all of this work you are doing is worth it, and that it is working. This is the fifth episode in my back-to-school check-in series for moms, six short episodes walking you through the six principles of Self-Assured Motherhood, each one with a concrete way to assess how you're actually doing. Today's principle is Gather the Good, and we're talking about it specifically in the context of noticing and calling out the good in our children. When you start naming the good out loud, something lovely begins to happen. Your child starts to believe that story about who they are, and then they start behaving in ways that support it, which gives you more good to notice, which gives them more reason to believe it. It's a beautiful cycle, and it can start with one sentence said within earshot at the dinner table. In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ The two sentences I say out loud about my kids when I know they can hear me, and why I'm not doing it to get them to behave ✨ Why the child who is hardest to praise is usually the one who needs it most, and what to do when that's the season you're in ✨ The green, yellow, and red descriptions for this principle, so you can figure out where you actually are right now, before the school year gets loud There is so much good happening in your home already, and I hope this is the school year you get to spend more of your energy finding it.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore why more young people are disengaging from education and work and why the answer may begin much earlier than adolescence. They discuss the importance of security, identity, belonging, purpose, and competence, as well as the role that parents, schools, churches, and communities can play in helping kids discover that they are capable and created to contribute. Parents and leaders will be encouraged to look beyond early warning signs and instead help children recognize the gifts and purposes God has already placed within them.

Jay Chandrasekhar (Super Troopers, Broken Lizard) joins Steph to talk about his new stand-up special Brown Supremacist, directing over 200 episodes of TV including Arrested Development and New Girl, and why the only way into the movies is to write yourself into them. Steph finally watches Super Troopers 25 years late and has questions about the very real penis in it, Jay reveals Arrested Development was only about 4% improvised, and he tells the story of getting a steak stuck in his throat on a date, throwing up next to two models, going back to finish the steak — and how that led to getting his throat scraped every five years. Plus: Steph's fiancé answers the door in a towel, Jay thinks Steph is a gay man, an audience member exposes the ABCs technique, Jay's lung-doctor dad tells patients to keep smoking, 100 straight days of golf, Botox regrets, and Steph's beef with K.D. Lang's follower count.
