Carew shares his journey as an author and educator, emphasizing the significance of teaching children about gratitude and resilience through simple practices like writing thank you letters. The conversation also touches on the challenges of public education, the importance of literacy, and the role of parents in modeling positive behaviors for their children. Carew's insights inspire listeners to embrace gratitude as a powerful tool for fostering connection and kindness in their families.

Teaching kindness and respect starts at home and is reflected in daily actions. Gratitude practices can help children build resilience and cope with challenges.

So we've talked about mindfulness on this show before, and if you're in my Differently Wired Club, you know that mindfulness meditation is something I explore from time to time but really struggle with implementing in the way I think I'm supposed to. Like, I always feel like I'm doing it wrong or it's just not for me. But as my guest today, Hunter Clarke-Fields, explains, there are many accessible ways to practice mindfulness, even for people like me who feel like they can't, or don't want to, slow down. And there's just no disputing the powerful way that mindfulness can support us in helping us be more present, more grounded, more calm, more open, and more curious when navigating all the big, challenging stuff with our neurodivergent kids. During our conversation, Hunter demonstrates a few mindful techniques to regulate yourself when you need it that are very doable even if you only have 3 minutes — I've actually been doing them since we recorded this, and I'm still at it! Hunter also shared strategies to show our kids compassion when they are struggling and introduces us to what has become one of my most favorite positive self-talk phrases — “permission to be human” — as a reminder when we have less than brilliant parenting, or life, moments. She ended the conversation with a beautiful reflection on why it's important to see our kids for who they are and be willing to be open to the changes that happen every day for them.   About Hunter Clarke-Fields Hunter Clarke-Fields MSAE, E-RYT (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a Mindfulness Mentor, Mindful Mama podcast host, mom, global speaker, and number 1 bestselling author of Raising Good Humans, as well as her most recent book, Raising Good Humans Every Day (Aug 1, 2023).

Compassion doesn't happen naturally in our homes...it takes work, training, demonstrating...and eventually a supernatural moving in the lives of our children to give them a spiritual compassion for those that are hurting.In this episode we talk about compassion in the home....ways that we can nuture a spirit of empathy in our children.

I grew up with two sisters so coming from an all-girl family, I was completely unprepared to have two sons. But as soon as I felt adjusted to life as a boy mom, I had a daughter! Raising a daughter is everything I always dreamed it would be, and also as challenging as I imagined it would be. Which is why I am so grateful for wise experts like today's guest, Kari Kampakis. Kari is a mom of four girls, the host of the Girl Mom podcast, and author of several books including, More Than a Mom and Love Her Well. While being a girl is so different today than it was when we were growing up, some things remain relatively the same and one of those things is the challenge of learning to navigate friendships. Today Kari and I cover some of the messaging that girls receive about themselves and how we can reframe those messages, how to raise kind daughters, the importance of speaking truth over our girls, how to navigate friendships, and Kari reminds us that it all goes back to Jesus. I hope you enjoy this conversation! Connect with Kari: Website:https://www.karikampakis.com/ Instagram:@karikampakis Links Mentioned:More Than a Mom and Love Her WellGirl Mom PodcastOur Sponsors:* Check out HelloFresh: https://www.hellofresh.com/Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This conversation is chock-full of great information that we are so glad we get to insert into our own lives right away! Melinda Moyer, author of How to Raise Kids Who Aren't Assholes, is our guest today. She is also the mom of two, contributing editor to Scientific American Magazine, weekly contributor to The New York Times and a faculty member in the science, health, and environmental reporting program at NYU.We sometimes tend to think that talking about emotions too much with our kids may lead to them not being able to stand up for themselves or might make them too sensitive. Melinda explains why this is not true and how research has shown that strong soft skills, like emotional awareness, directly improve hard skills.As a parent, we've all witnessed the dreaded scenario when our own kid treats someone else in a way that we are not proud of. Melinda coaches us through what to do in this scenario and how we can move forward from that. She also explains that saying sorry might not be the best solution, and what to foster instead.We know so many of you are on the same page as us - you want to raise kind humans. In today's conversation we take a deep dive into how to do just that.

When a child has confidence, they have the ability to take risks, think outside the box, and go for the things they want in life. Having confidence may even contribute to their resilience and overcoming difficult challenges. Join us as we discuss raising kind and confident kids.

Are we truly listening to our children? In this episode of the Plan B CRNA Podcast's "Thoughtful Thursdays," host Bobby Jones challenges us to reflect on how we engage with the young minds around us. Bobby shares a powerful quote by Orson Scott Card about the authenticity of children's emotions and desires, reminding us that kids are not just seen and not heard. He dives into the lessons he learned from reading "Ender's Game" by Card, emphasizing the importance of treating children as fellow humans and acknowledging their experiences. Bobby offers practical tips for effective communication with children, including active listening, paying attention to nonverbal cues, and respecting their preferred means of expression. He also recommends insightful books like "Raising Good Humans" by Hunter Clarke-Fields and "The Whole-Brain Child" by Daniel J. Siegel MD and Tina Payne Bryson Ph.D. for parents looking to build stronger relationships and support their children's growth.

Allison Hottinger & Lisa Kalberer are the sisters behind The Giving Manger, who believe kindness is an everyday practice and giving can change everything. With 6 kids between them (Lisa has one son, Allison has five kids), their focus is RAISING KIND KIDS. Kids who Give. Kids who CARE. They are constantly looking for ways to make giving and kindness simple and a daily practice.

Some tips for raising kind kids. Plus, Taylor shares some sad news.

As a parent, we all want our children to have healthy, happy lives. But far too many children grow up without ever learning the importance of giving. That teaches them not to give to others, and the more dominant they are in their fledgling years, the more unlikely they are to change their behavior. However, teaching your child how to give to others can increase their self-esteem and help them look out for others that are less fortunate. It also teaches them that the world doesn't revolve around them, something all children can learn. Teaching kids to give also encourages saying no to selfishness and prepares them to be more inclusive towards others. So what can you do to teach your children to give? Try these strategies: 1. Let your children follow your lead. Children learn by watching. If you give without a second thought, your children will learn to do the same. So, before you provide any donation, ask your child first. That will help your child learn that giving to others comes with responsibility and that giving to others is a privilege, not a right. And don't just practice giving once and call it a day. Keep giving regularly. 2.Compel them by showing them that their help benefits others. In other words, make it about them. And studies report that children tend to help others when they can see the world through the eyes of those they help. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wayne-weathersby/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wayne-weathersby/support

We will learn: How to identify the harmful patterns that may have been passed down through generations.  Why giving advice or offering solutions is not helpful and what to do instead.  How to yell less.  Everyone has childhood wounds and needs that weren't met whether our parents even realized it or not.   If you have kids, you probably feel like you've already inflicted some damage by responding at times in ways that turned out to be less than helpful.   But the fact that you love your child enough to think “can I make small changes to do this parenting thing a little better,” tells me that you're already doing an amazing job.   Yes there are tips about communicating with kids and motivating them and helping them learn, but what I'm learning is that the biggest impact you have is what you model for them.   One day they're going to be responsible for taking care of themselves and showing them how you take care of yourself is probably the most effective way to do that.   When you take care of your needs first, you calm your own storm, so you can then tend to your child.   So today we're going to figure out how to do all that we can to make sure we raise happy, healthy little humans.   Our guest is Hunter Clarke-Fields, mindful mama mentor and widely-followed author of “Raising Good Humans: A Mindful Guide to Breaking the Cycle of Reactive Parenting and Raising Kind, Confident Kids.” Links from the episode: Show Notes: https://mindlove.com/208 Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes from your highest self.  Get Mind Love Premium for exclusive ad-free episodes and monthly meditations.  Support Mind Love Sponsors   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 — “My greatest wins as a mom stem from moments of failure.” A kinder, more compassionate world starts with kind and compassionate kids. In Raising Good Humans, you'll find powerful and practical strategies to break free from “reactive parenting” habits and raise kind, cooperative, and confident kids. Whether you're running late for school, trying to get your child to eat their vegetables, or dealing with an epic meltdown in the checkout line at a grocery store—being a parent is hard work! And, as parents, many of us react in times of stress without thinking—often by yelling. But what if, instead of always reacting on autopilot, you could respond thoughtfully in those moments, keep your cool, and get from A to B on time and in one piece? With this book, you'll find powerful mindfulness skills for calming your own stress response when difficult emotions arise. You'll also discover strategies for cultivating respectful communication, effective conflict resolution, and reflective listening. In the process, you'll learn to examine your own unhelpful patterns and ingrained reactions that reflect the generational habits shaped by your parents, so you can break the cycle and respond to your children in more skillful ways. When children experience a parent reacting with kindness and patience, they learn to act with kindness as well—thereby altering generational patterns for a kinder, more compassionate future. With this essential guide, you'll see how changing your own “autopilot reactions” can create a lasting positive impact, not just for your kids, but for generations to come. An essential, must-read for all parents—now more than ever.

What we talked about: Her journey into mindfulness and how it has transformed her parenting as well as the work she does as a Mindful Mama Mentor.  Parenting as a life long relationship Her decision to stop perpetuating unhealthy parenting patterns How mindfulness helps her deal with her own reactiveness.  We talked specifically about mindfulness, the research and the powerful impact it can have on our brains.  The evolution of our brains, the amygdala, and the prefrontal cortex.  How her own upbringing helped her transform her own parenting, giving her the opportunity to heal and transform generations. As parents, we have the opportunity to wake up and heal.  The process of Beginning Anew, to help us deal with unwanted behavior from relatives. Things to Remember: “Be the example rather than trying to shape others.” - Hunter Clarke-Fields “Understanding the biology of our brains helps us take a step back.” - Hunter Clarke-Fields “Kids are not rebelling against their parents they are rebelling against the destructive parenting techniques.” - Hunter Clarke-Fields Click here for Show Notes and more from Jeanne-Marie, Your Parenting Mentor.
