In this episode, Quinn Cummings dives into the heart of family reading. If you've ever felt guilty about not reading enough with your kids, you're not alone—and this episode is for you. Quinn challenges the idea that literacy alone is enough to motivate busy parents, especially when kids are surrounded by books and reading in school. Instead, she shares how books are powerful tools for creating connection, fostering meaningful conversations, and building a legacy of shared values.Through a relatable analogy about the benefits of water, Quinn reveals why the magic of reading goes far beyond the words on the page. Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply someone who loves books, this episode will inspire you to rethink what reading together really means.What You'll Learn:- Why guilt around family reading is common—and how to move past it- How literacy is important but not the only reason to read with kids- The deeper benefits of shared reading: connection, safe spaces, and lifelong bonds- How even a few minutes of reading can create lasting impactWant to connect?

In this episode of the Reading To Connect Show, host Quinn Cummings sits down with Dork Diaries creator Rachel Renee Russell and her daughter, Nikki Russell, to discuss the 16th book in the beloved series. Together, they explore the magic of chapter books, the transition from picture books to longer stories, and how parents can bond with their children through shared reading experiences. The conversation touches on personal family stories that inspired the series, the emotional depth of Dork Diaries, and the lessons in friendship, self-esteem, and kindness that transcend generations.Subscribe here for updates & new releases!

We often hear about adoption from the adoptive parent's point of view. Rarely do we get to step into the mind of a child and learn what the experience is for them. Once the actual adoption process is finalized, it's easy to negate all the emotions the child experiences. And while adoption is beautiful, the child often struggles through trauma, separation, and loss.  Before children can even explore adjusting to this new life, their emotions around adoption deserve our attention.  This author spotlight is on Anna Maria DiDio, MSW. Ana Maria is a writer, speaker, women's advocate, adoption life coach, and mother.  Using her own experience, Anna Maria started journaling her adoption adventure to Mexico and writing a memoir and children's book about adoption and blended families. Her book Many People to Love encourages readers to explore what children think and feel about their new family and the family they may have left behind. A sensitive and powerful book that focuses on children's emotions and learning a new culture without losing their identity. Throughout the conversation, we discuss the untold stories of adoption and blended families. Anna Maria shares why it's important to listen to children's voices about their adoption, how to help them process their unresolved emotions and issues, and how to guide and support them on this new journey. She also talks about what led her to adopt, her family's challenges, and her advice to parents considering adoption.Learn more about Anna Maria DiDio>> https://www.amdidio.com/ Grab the book Many People to Love by Anna Maria DiDio, illustrated by Tatiana Lobanova>> https://amzn.to/3oeW6oz Connect with Anna Maria DiDio on:>> Instagram: https://instagram.com/amdidio>> Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anna.m.didio Watch the full video interview with Anna Maria DiDio>> https://www.facebook.com/AidynsBooks/videos/1201865670649421/ Free gift

Over the last few years, we've all taken the time to consider exactly what family means to us. We would venture into the world avoiding unfamiliar people, sanitizing multiple times a day– all to keep our family safe. What a crazy time! A time that made us realize what matters the most, family. A group of people, blood-related or not, that loves and cares for each other because, at the end of the day, Family is Forever. In this episode, we have Leslie Gang in our author spotlight! Leslie is an avid theater enthusiast, educator, children's book author, and co-founder of Hindi's Libraries, a non-profit organization that donates new and gently used books, founded in 2018 in memory of Dr. Hindi Krinsky.  Hindi's Libraries has donated over 400,000 books and partnered with 650 organizations worldwide! Leslie's book But Family is Forever, represents different types of families to help children respect differences and focus on what matters most. During the conversation, we discuss diversity within the family, but also hone in on commonalities. Leslie also shares the bittersweet story of how Hindi's Libraries started, how they built family and community inside the organization, and how people can make a huge difference with books.Learn more about Leslie Gang>> https://www.hindislibraries.org/ Grab the book But Family is Forever by Leslie Gang, illustrated by Misha Narducci>> https://amzn.to/3Ba0MUa Connect with Leslie Gang on:>> Twitter: https://twitter.com/hindislibraries>> Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hindislibraries/ Watch the full video interview with Leslie Gang>> https://www.facebook.com/AidynsBooks/videos/545156544011831/ Free gift

The past few years have drastically changed our way of living. It changes the way we communicate, work, and educate our children. While we are so busy adjusting to change, we often forget that our children also need support. Today, the author spotlight is on Dr. Tamera Foley, a veteran educator and advocate for children's trauma and mental health issues.  She is passionate about helping parents and children practice mindfulness, and self-care, and create healthy habits that support their overall well-being with books and journals. Dr. Tamera's book Cassie's Big Change is about a girl and her journey as she adjusts to the changes in her life before, during, and after the peak of COVID-19. She also created an Exploring My Emotions journal that gives children the opportunity to write and record their feelings and reflections, and do fun interactive activities for parents and children.  Throughout this episode, we talk about the importance of having a check-in with your child's mental health, how to use tools like books, journals, and technology to converse with your child about their emotions, and how to exercise mindfulness with your children.Learn more about Dr. Tamera Foley>> https://www.education4allnow.org/who-we-are Grab the book Cassie's Big Change by Dr. Tamera Foley>> https://amzn.to/3yAgMMt Connect with Dr. Tamera Foley on:>> Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/education4allnow/>> Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/tamera.foley  Watch the full video interview with Dr. Tamera Foley>> https://www.facebook.com/AidynsBooks/videos/779818350136127/ Free gift

Have you ever been in a situation where your child wakes up as Mr. Grumpy pants, and you feel like you're walking on eggshells around them?  Their negative energy affects you and everyone else in the household, and they have no idea how to deal with the bad attitude. What we can do to help them as parents is to show the flip side of what it will look like if they choose to be in a good mood. This author spotlight is on Wendy Fedan! Wendy is a full-time illustrator, caricaturist, and the author of multiple books. Wendy's picture flip book, The Very Very Very Bad/Good Day!, is a story that illustrates how a negative attitude affects what happens to your day. In this episode, we discuss how our kids can choose between a good and a bad mood, how negativity affects their day and the people around them, and how to help them take charge and be accountable for their attitude. Wendy also shares her journey to writing, the struggles and rejections she faced before publishing books, and her advice to aspiring writers who want to publish their own books. Learn more about Wendy Fedan>> https://cawbooks.weebly.com/ Grab the book The Very Very Very Bad/Good Day!

In the name of the new year and new beginnings — on this first episode of 2020 we’re gonna be listening to stories… by turns wonderful, horrifying and hilarious… about people’s first days at work. And when the SFW team was talking about this around the office, Liz Dolan herself said she has a doozy worth kicking off the show with, at a little company called Nike.Then we continue our theme of “first day of work” stories with one of our favorite guests Quinn Cummings. As a kid, she was nominated for an Oscar for her role in the movie “The Goodbye Girl.” She’s now hosts a podcast called “Quinn Cummings Gives Bad Advice,” wherein she gives listeners hilarious, but actually often pretty solid advice about work, relationships, and more.
