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.

You'll get a clear picture of where you're thriving and where you could use some support, and you'll be added to the info list for my Self-Assured Motherhood program, which opens for enrollment on September 14th with a special discount for quiz-takers. ✨ If you're looking for a concrete daily practice for this principle, the Flecks of Gold Journal is the perfect tool to help.

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.

Lee Benson, CEO of Execute to Win and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of "Your Most Important Number," and "Value Creation Family," believes families and organizations have something in common: they're perfectly designed to produce the results they get. In this conversation, Lee explains why removing every obstacle—whether for employees or children—often creates dependence instead of ownership. He explores why healthy struggle is essential for developing resilience, how creating value matters more than chasing success, why lowering expectations delays independence, and how the same leadership principles that build accountable organizations also build capable families. Whether you're leading a company, raising children, or doing both, this conversation offers practical insights for developing responsibility, resilience, and a lifelong commitment to creating value for others.

Since his death, she has spoken on some of the biggest stages in the country, testified before Congress, and fought for legislation in his name.Now, she's focused on a message she believes every parent needs to hear: the importance of talking to kids about peer pressure.

In the months after a deadly mass shooting at Annunciation Church and School last year, a group of Annunciation parents turned to organizing to prevent future violence. They met with state lawmakers and supported a range of policy changes, like a ban on assault-style weapons and more funding for mental health care. The Annunciation Light Alliance also found allies in Sandy Hook parents who have built a national advocacy network since the mass shooting at their children's' elementary school in Connecticut in 2012. To learn more about the past year of organizing and what's next, MPR News host Nina Moini talked with Annunciation Light Alliance co-founder Kristen Neville, who has five children at the school, along with Sandy Hook Promise CEO Nicole Hockley, who co-founded that group after losing her son Dylan, a first-grader, in the Sandy Hook tragedy.

In this rerelease episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with Dr. Christine Marie Cocchiola about how coercive control and psychological maltreatment affect children, especially when abuse continues after separation. They discuss why traumatized children may become dysregulated, defensive, fearful, or aligned with the controlling parent, and how these responses can be mistaken for ordinary misbehavior. Dr. Cocchiola explains how protective parents can rebuild safety by lending their children calm, recognizing triggers, preparing for difficult interactions, using less threatening language, and responding without escalating conflict. She also explores ego resiliency, authoritarian versus authoritative parenting, the neurosequential model, and why connection and emotional regulation must come before correction. This conversation offers practical guidance for parents trying to help their children heal while coercive control remains an ongoing presence in their lives.

Parents will be encouraged to look beneath behavior and remember that consistent, loving adults can play a powerful role in rebuilding security and hope.

When a middle schooler started bringing home his worst grades ever, his parents were stunned. His teachers said he understood the material. The problem? He couldn't stay off his school-issued iPad. In classrooms across the country, districts have banned phones, but the screens haven't disappeared. They've just shifted to Chromebooks and tablets that students are required to use all day long. And for some families and educators, those devices are raising uncomfortable questions. On this episode of MindShift, we dig into the promises of education technology and whether they've actually paid off. This episode features voices ranging from parents and ed-tech researchers to school leaders redesigning students' reliance on tech.

If bedtime in your house feels like a nightly negotiation, or you're the one lying in the dark at 2 a.m. wondering why nothing seems to work, this conversation is for you. Pediatric sleep consultant Allison Ezell spent years stuck between a sleep doctor telling her to sleep train and a TBRI therapist affirming the trauma-informed parenting she knew her son needed, unable to find anyone who could bridge the two. She eventually became the person she needed, and she's bringing that hard-won wisdom to us today. What We Cover in This Episode The two building blocks of sleep science, sleep associations and sleep pressure, and why understanding sleep associations alone resolves most of the sleep struggles Allison sees. The difference between "putting a child to sleep" and "putting a child to bed," and why that distinction matters most for kids who wake in the middle of the night. A practical bedtime routine built around what a body actually needs to fall asleep: sensory input earlier in the evening, a warm bath or shower, real connection, and a small snack. How to build felt safety around bedtime fears through repeated, low-pressure exposure, and a gradual pullback method for weaning off sleep associations without a jarring overnight switch. A consistent, scripted response for middle-of-the-night wake-ups, plus the red flags (frequent waking, restless legs, long sleep onset, excessive daytime sleepiness) that mean it's time to talk to a doctor.

CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch seven years ago, we've published more than 30,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 150,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

The differences between an adult Sunday school class and one for kids are quite striking. A class for toddlers and preschoolers is rarely organized around the logic of a Bible passage, or even a lesson outline. Instead, lessons are structured by the classroom schedule and environment—by a basic routine and activity centers that are designed for play, music, the Bible story, and other games or crafts. How do we prepare children's lessons that are Christ-centered, biblically faithful, engaging for kids, and oriented towards the distinct ways that kids learn? This workshop will help you learn how to do just that. Jared Kennedy serves as an editor for The Gospel Coalition. He is also co-founder of Gospel-Centered Family and the author of books for children and families like Faith-Builder Catechism (New Growth Press, 2023), Keeping Your Children's Ministry on Mission (Crossway, 2022), and The Beginner's Gospel Story Bible (New Growth, 2017). He, his wife Megan, and their three daughters live in Louisville, Kentucky, where they attend Sojourn Church Midtown.

Jamal Bryant called Nolan Wells' death a lynching on the boy's 19th birthday. He brought cake to the sanctuary. Ben Crump in the pulpit. Spike Lee in a pew. No charging document. Crump's independent autopsy still says undetermined. Jason Whitlock puts Pastor Jamal Bryant's Genesis shout and missing-throat line next to Jussie Smollett. Same empty file. Different pulpit. Parents asked what happened. Bryant sold a sequel. "Harmony." Culture, faith, and the plot hole they covered with hot rhetoric.

One of the hardest parts of parenting a child with OCD is not knowing what's actually going on. Your child insists they're “fine,” avoids your questions, or simply can't explain what they're experiencing. It can leave you feeling confused, shut out, and unsure of how to help.In this episode, I talk about why so many kids keep their OCD hidden, even from the people they trust most. You'll learn why silence is often part of OCD itself and why pushing for answers can unintentionally make it harder for your child to open up.We'll also discuss practical ways to build trust, strengthen communication, and support your child, even when you don't fully understand what their OCD is about. Because you don't need to know every intrusive thought to begin helping your child make progress.Mentioned in this episode:Download the free companion handout: www.natashadaniels.com/handouts

But when her son Jed was born, the joy she experienced changed everything—and eventually inspired the community known as Happiness Is Down Syndrome.Misty returns to the podcast to talk about her new book, ⁠Happiness Is Down Syndrome: Strategies and Support for Parents at Every Stage. ⁠Designed as a practical companion for families, the book brings together personal stories, expert guidance, helpful resources, and the voices of people with Down syndrome. It covers everything from diagnosis, grief, and early intervention to IEPs, inclusion, advocacy, sibling relationships, and adulthood.Misty and Heather discuss holding grief and joy at the same time, taking each season as it comes, and why parents don't need to figure everything out alone. They also explore what “happiness is Down syndrome” really means—not a life without difficulty, but a life filled with deep connection, ordinary joys, and unexpected goodness.This is an encouraging conversation for parents, educators, extended family, and anyone who loves someone with Down syndrome.Show Notes: Learn more about Misty at ⁠MistyCoySnyder.com⁠Follow Misty ⁠@MistyCoySnyder ⁠ Follow ⁠@HappinessIsDownSyndrome⁠ --------------------------------------------Thank You to Our SponsorsDown For Greens creates practitioner-formulated, third-party-tested greens specifically designed with the nutritional needs of the Down syndrome community in mind.Learn more: ⁠https://downforgreens.co⁠ Promo code: LUCKY — get 50% off your first order.ENABLE Special Needs Planning helps families create coordinated plans for the future by bringing together the vision, financial, legal, and practical pieces of special needs planning.Free resource: Who Will Carry What?

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore new research showing how warm, responsive caregiving can shape a child's developing brain and even buffer against some early risks associated with ADHD. They discuss the power of eye contact, conversation, play, and simply responding when kids reach for us, while also considering what parents may lose when screens repeatedly pull their attention away. Parents will be encouraged to remember that it is never too late to become more present and that small, intentional moments of attention can build connection and trust.
