When it comes to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), much of the focus is often placed on data collection, program goals, and measurable outcomes for the child. But what about the parents? Supporting caregivers is a critical, and sometimes overlooked, component of effective ABA services. In a recent podcast episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Valencia Harper, a seasoned clinician from Apollo Behavior, to talk about her thoughtful approach to working with families. Long-time listeners may remember Valencia from our Apollo Case Study Series, where she and her colleagues discussed mentoring new practitioners. This time around, we shifted gears to focus on her insights into caregiver collaboration—and the conversation did not disappoint. From Smoothies to Strategy: Valencia's Journey Valencia opened up about her own career beginnings, including a memorable (and messy) first day involving a smoothie spill. That moment, though humbling, marked the start of a journey that led her to become the confident and effective BCBA she is today. Through years of experience, she has developed a deep appreciation for the unique challenges parents face—and a toolkit for meeting them with empathy, clarity, and respect. What Parents Really Need from ABA Providers Throughout the episode, Valencia shared key insights into how BCBAs can better support the families they serve. Here are a few highlights from our discussion: 1. Listening Builds Rapport Rather than jumping into solutions, Valencia emphasizes the power of active listening. Parents often come to the table with a wealth of experience and emotion. Taking time to truly hear them builds trust and sets the tone for collaboration. 2. BCBAs Don't Have to Know Everything It can be tempting to feel like we have to have all the answers. But Valencia reminds us that being transparent about what we don't know—while showing a commitment to learning—can strengthen relationships rather than weaken them. 3. Prioritize Parental Concerns Instead of sticking strictly to what the data says, Valencia encourages clinicians to take parent priorities seriously. If bedtime battles or sibling conflicts are top of mind for the family, addressing those concerns can lead to more engagement and faster progress. 4. Clarify ABA Jargon Parents may struggle with technical terms or misunderstand the purpose of certain procedures. Valencia discusses how breaking things down into digestible language helps reduce frustration and builds empowerment. 5. Combat Learned Helplessness Some caregivers come into services feeling defeated or disconnected. Valencia talks about how to gently challenge that mindset and offer small, achievable strategies that rebuild parental confidence. 6. Teach How to Set Limits Supporting families doesn't stop with behavior plans. Valencia shares tips for coaching parents on how to set clear, developmentally appropriate limits without escalating the situation. 7. Responding to "We've Already Tried That" This common phrase can be frustrating for clinicians, but Valencia reframes it as an opportunity to validate parents' experiences and reintroduce strategies with better context or support. Inside Apollo's Approach to Caregiver Training Valencia also gave us a behind-the-scenes look at how Apollo Behavior structures its caregiver support. From structured training sessions to informal check-ins, their model integrates parent collaboration as a core component of service delivery—not an afterthought.

Two-time GRAMMY winner Gloria Gaynor has released the new single "Fida Known", an empowered reflection on a past relationship that serves as a showcase for Gaynor's showstopping voice and effortless vocal charisma. Co-written by Gaynor in Nashville alongside GRAMMY-winning songwriters Chris Stevens and Michael Pollack (Miley Cyrus, Maroon 5), "Fida Known" is Gaynor's first new solo single since the release of 2019's GRAMMY-winning LP 'Testimony', and an emphatic declaration of the power of hindsight when overcoming adversity.Over pulsing handclaps and synth keyboard stabs, Gaynor opens the track by acknowledging her infatuation with a past lover: "You were drivin' me crazy / The kind of crazy that made me see stars". Her declaration of love then gives way to a wiser Gaynor, who laments her shortsightedness in an instant-classic hook: "Fida known that you never / Woulda loved me forever / I'da found someone better / Who could hold me tight." The track is a return to her recognizable disco sound after the breathtaking rootsy gospel of 'Testimony,' and the production of Matt Bronleewe immerses Gaynor's voice in a funky mid-tempo groove that's tailor made for the dance floor or driving with the top down."Fida Known" is the first taste of Gaynor's 'Happy Tears' EP, an empowering groove-filled journey that sees her working with up-and-coming songwriters Sam Tinnesz (Kygo, Fitz and the Tantrums), Caitlyn Smith (Miley Cyrus, Meghan Trainor), and Liz Rose (Taylor Swift). The EP is a continuation of Gaynor's new chapter that began with 2019's 'Testimony' and was followed by a collaboration with Kylie Minogue ("Can't Stop Writing Songs About You") in 2022.

The Money Wise guys kick off this week's episode by celebrating a strong rally in the markets and declaring the "tariff tantrum" officially over. The Dow surged 1,405 points (3.4%), the S&P 500 gained 298 points (5.3%), and the NASDAQ jumped 1,282 points (7.2%). That brought the Dow and S&P into positive territory for the year—up 0.3% and 1.3% respectively—while the NASDAQ is now down just 0.5% year-to-date. The spark for this surge? Productive trade talks in Switzerland between Treasury Secretary Bessette and Chinese officials, which resulted in a 90-day pause on the harshest proposed tariffs. The guys have long suspected those extreme tariffs would never be implemented, and the market's sharp V-shaped rebound has affirmed that outlook. They also discuss how the S&P 500 successfully broke through technical resistance at the 200-day moving average, signaling renewed strength in the market's momentum. Despite ongoing media skepticism and the likelihood of more headline-driven bumps ahead, the team is optimistic that the worst of the tariff-related fear is in the rearview mirror. They note that there's still room for growth, with the S&P 500 about 3% off its February highs and the NASDAQ still 4.5% below its recent peak. As trade tensions ease, attention is beginning to shift toward domestic policy—particularly the proposed “big beautiful tax bill,” which has hit some pushback. While it's a work in progress, the market hasn't reacted negatively to political debate, another encouraging sign for investors moving forward. Recovery Taking Shape After weeks of uncertainty and technical stagnation, the market finally broke through resistance at the S&P 500's 200-day moving average, confirming a V-shaped recovery. The Dow, S&P, and NASDAQ all posted major gains on the week, bringing the indexes closer to their previous highs. While there's still ground to cover—the S&P is about 3% off its February peak, and the NASDAQ is 4.5% below its December high—the team emphasized that recovery isn't just about bouncing back, but continuing to build. With technical strength returning and investor sentiment improving, the foundation is being laid for a new phase of growth. In the second hour, the Money Wise guys explore RIA vs. Broker.

Kristi Noem faced real pushback from Democrats (finally), as lawmakers grilled her over her growing resume of poor decisions. Meanwhile, RFK Jr. tried to hold court at his own hearing only to be disrupted by protesters and pressed by lawmakers who actually still believe in facts. Imagine that. And of course, Marjorie Taylor Greene is back at it. This time trying to submit personal opinions as actual evidence in a hearing. Thankfully, Dems have had enough and are pushing back hard. From misinformation to courtroom cosplay, today's political drama proves one thing: the chaos isn't slowing down, but at least someone's finally fighting back. Let's get into it.

What do you do when your child comes home from the other parent’s house completely dysregulated—tantrums, tears, and turmoil? In this episode, Justin and Kylie respond to a heartfelt question from a grandparent caring for her four-year-old grandson. Together, they explore why these transitions are so tough, what’s really going on beneath the surface, and how to create calm, connection, and consistency after a disruptive change in environment. KEY POINTS: Transition distress is common for kids moving between homes, especially in co-parenting situations. Tantrums are not misbehaviour—they’re a child’s way of saying, “I’m overwhelmed and don’t know how to cope.” Emotional storms after change can be a sign of trust—kids release emotions where they feel safest. A “transition toolkit” can soften the landing when children return from the other parent’s house. Predictable routines, consistent rituals, and physical or emotional regulation activities make a big difference. Compassionate communication—within and between households—helps reduce stress and confusion for everyone. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE:“The most important gift we can give our kids is a consistent, compassionate response.” RESOURCES MENTIONED: happyfamilies.com.au – Parenting support and resources Submit your own tricky question: podcasts@happyfamilies.com.au or leave a voice message at happyfamilies.com.au ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Create a Soft Landing: After a transition, keep things calm, quiet, and low-stimulation. Avoid errands or activities. Establish Connection Rituals: Use consistent, comforting activities like a shared snack, special book, or photo album. Support Emotional Regulation: Offer hugs, breathing exercises, or safe physical play to help them reset. Validate Without Endorsing: Accept their feelings (“It’s okay to be upset”) while gently guiding behaviour. Use Visual Supports: Calendars, countdowns, and transitional objects (like a favourite toy or photo) help children prepare. Communicate Across Households: When possible, work towards consistency in routines and expectations between homes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode, we took a deep breath—literally—and talked about something we all tend to overlook: mouth breathing in kids. It's not just a quirky habit or something they'll "outgrow." It's often the very first red flag that the body is struggling, and if we don't catch it early, it can quietly snowball into sleep issues, behavioral problems, and even developmental delays. We started by diving into how disconnected our healthcare system is—dentists look at teeth, pediatricians look at growth, ENTs look at infections—but no one is zooming out to ask: How are they breathing? Is their tongue resting correctly? Are their lips closed at rest? Then we explored three major truths that most providers don't talk about: We don't screen the mouth like it matters—things like tongue posture, tethered oral tissues, and lip strength get missed. The body compensates until it can't—kids may seem “fine,” but mouth breathing, poor sleep, and behavioral struggles are often signs of a deeper dysfunction. No one provider has the full picture—which means we as parents have to become the connectors and advocates. I got personal about my own daughter's journey—how I missed these signs despite working in dentistry—and how that heartbreak turned into purpose. That's why I created the SHIFT Method: a roadmap for parents to spot red flags early, ask better questions, and take action before it becomes a crisis. We wrapped up with a call to action: it's time to stop waiting for diagnoses and start listening to the body's signals. Tantrums, snoring, picky eating—these aren't random quirks. They're clues. And when we shift our perspective, everything else can shift too. Key Takeaways: -Mouth breathing reduces oxygen intake by 18% during sleep—yes, 18%!-It's not normal—just common—and common doesn't mean healthy.-Providers often “stay in their lane,” so parents must become the advocates.-Early signs like bedwetting, snoring, or dark under-eye circles are worth investigating.-One simple shift—like encouraging nose breathing at night—can make a huge difference.

We are so excited to be back. Thank you to everyone who has been keeping in touch and who have been so supportive of our parenting podcast. The last few weeks have been a whirlwind so it's lovely to be able to sit down together again and try and help dome parents feel less alone. Question 1- Tantrums and meltdowns are exhausting for the child and the grown up. How can we navigate our kids through them? How can we help them regulate their emotions and learn to manage them? It takes practice. It takes time. Even the worst behaviour can improve. There is always hope. Find the cause of the behaviour and you'll find the answer to it. Shout out- To the main man Steve Daly who is officially our favourite person in the world. Listen in to find out why! Question 2- With the holiday season approaching how do you tackle the travel with children who have no patience for travelling. Is there a recipe for a successful trip with toddlers? Is it even possible to go a whole flight without a meltdown? What is required from the parent to ensure that the whole family survives the train, plane or automobile. Question 3- Teenagers. We are all afraid of them. Teenage dread is a real panic most parents experience. Will we lose our gorgeous kid to hormones? How much does the responsibility of navigating these teenage years actually fall on our shoulders as parents. The more informed we are of what they are actually experiencing the more we can try to lean into understanding this tumultuous phase of their lives. Thank you for listening in. We are so happy to be back. Send in any questions you have to honeyyouareruiningourkid@gmail.com. We will be back in two weeks. www.jigser.com/gigs for tickets to the live Jarlath Regan tour shows.

For many families, the dinner table has become a war zone. Because there are so many emotions tied up in how we feel about food and eating, these feelings can mold your child's relationship with food in ways that we never even suspected.Counselor and parenting expert, Emilie Vogas M.Ed, discusses some of the common issues that come up around food including picky eating, over eating, eating disorders as well as the “rules” that govern how we approach mealtime (sitting at a table vs. in front of the television) or what kind of etiquette we observe (chewing with your mouth closed, etc.)In order to pass on healthy eating habits it's important for parents to examine their own relationship with food. Was it punitive? (“You can't leave the table until you've finished everything on your plate.”) Shaming? (“There are starving children who would give anything to have what's on your plate.”) Privileged? (Throwing a tantrum until mom makes you mac and cheese for the hundredth time.)Ultimately, we want to acknowledge and respect our children's autonomy over their own bodies without becoming a short order cook. It's our job as parents to teach them (and model) how to have a healthy relationship with food and eating.In the podcast we reference some resources you may want to check out.If you are facing food insecurity, we encourage you to look up food assistance programs on your State's website and look at the WIC program website or the Food Assistance website.Table Topics (www.tabletopics.com/products)These are conversation starters for family discussion that help keep you and your kids off of screens at mealtime. For those unable to afford these conversation decks, consult your local library for lists of conversation starters.Emilie Vogas is available for private consultations and workshops:1-646-241-7775emilie@EmilieVogas.comwww.EmilieVogas.com

CoinDesk's Andy Baehr says Bitcoin has proven itself as an "involatile" asset during times of tumultuous volatility. He considers $80,000 the new floor for Bitcoin and expects further upside through higher trading velocity as macro trends shift. Ethereum hasn't seen the same respect, as Andy explains why it's down 45% so far in 2025. He later turns to Strategy's (MSTR) war chest of Bitcoin and how it's inspiring other companies to bolster similar business models. Tom White offers an example options trade for Strategy.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.comI spoke about gold this week to ABC Australia. This little interview may be of some interest. Here it is. Meanwhile …It's as though the whole tariff thing never happened, the way stock markets are rallying. I think it's seven green days in a row now.Everybody is getting very excited about a rare technical signal we got last Thursday - - there have only been 16 of them since the S&P500 was created in 1957, including the latest on April 24, 2025. But this signal has a 100% reliability record, and has been followed by average 6-month returns of 15% and a 12-month returns of 23%. That's a pretty stellar record. So I just wanted to offer my 2p.The indicator - the Zweig Breadth Thrust Indicator (ZBT) - was first observed in the 1986 Martin Zweig book, Winning on Wall Street (which I confess to not having read). It occurs when a market swings from an oversold to an overbought reading within 10 trading days.Eight of them have occurred since the book was published: in 2004, in 2009 (shortly after the March lows at 666), in 2011 after the taper tantrum, in 2013, 2015, 2018 and in 2023 twice. Now we have one coming off the “tariff tantrum”, as I've just dubbed it.However, before you go out and gamble your entire life savings, note that back in 2015 technical analyst Tom McClellan published a detailed study of ZBT signals, which went back much further than the 1957 formation of the S&P500 - all the way to 1928.During the bear market of the 1930s Great Depression, there were multiple occurrences of the signal - 14 of them - and it was horribly unreliable: 10 led to losses or negligible gains, 2 preceded strong rallies, and 2 were flat. It was useless, in other words.So, in short, it's been good since 1957, but was rubbish before. A bit like stereos.There are plenty of reasons to remain cautious. The high levels of volatility we are witnessing are consistent with a bear market not a bull market. There are also high levels of uncertainty: what is actually going to happen with tariffs? Nobody quite knows. I'm not sure even the President. Plus we are going into May, usually a weak time of year for the stock market. And it may be that the consequences of Trump's tariff talk have not yet been felt in the US on the ground. One argument is that there has been a huge drop off in container ships leaving China. A container would typically take 30 days to reach LA, and another 10-20 days to get to the major cities - Houston, Chicago, New York et al. So the drop-off in container ships leaving China after Liberation Day won't be felt until mid-May. If there is a pick up in shipments, that wouldn't be felt till another month after that. Some are saying supply shortages are coming to the US. Have a read of this and see what you think. Markets usually price this kind of stuff in, but you never know. Cui bono?Among the sectors that should benefit from Trump's America first policies are US domestic mining and manufacturing. Here the regulatory environment is changing fast. Trump signed an executive order on March 20 with the aim of accelerating production of critical minerals. Federal agencies have actually been mandated to look to the US for priority metals - copper, gold, nickel, uranium and so - when they previously looked abroad. We are already seeing faster permitting. I hear that formerly dormant projects are seeing activity for the first time in years. Emails are being answered promptly, applications are being processed, even in states like California. This new environment is positive for oil and gas producers, miners, explorers and developers in the US. The problem is that commodity prices have dropped off a cliff. There's always a catch.Even so, one company that should benefit from this new macro environment is this potential multi-bagger.On which, note I wanted to give you a related heads up.

Join Jim and Greg for the latest 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the FBI arresting a Wisconsin judge for helping an illegal alien evade ICE, Colorado Democrats moving to criminalize cooperation with ICE, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signaling a likely but probably futile 2028 presidential campaign.First, they break down the shocking story of Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, who allegedly allowed a criminal illegal alien defendant to escape her courtroom through the jury door to prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from taking him into custody. Democrats and the media are trying to portray Dugan's arrest as political retaliation for opposing former President Trump's immigration policies. Jim and Greg explain why that narrative is completely false.Next, they dive into Colorado's efforts to punish government employees, school officials, and others who cooperate with ICE agents. Jim finds it amusing how the left, after years of demanding federal supremacy on immigration, now embraces state power when it suits their agenda. Greg points out that these first two martinis highlight an inescapable conclusion about many Democrats.Finally, they preview the likely 2028 presidential campaign of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. Jim and Greg note the irony of the multi-billionaire governor trying to position himself as a populist while urging Democrats not to give Republicans a moment's peace. But they see many reasons why Pritzker's likely campaign will be a dud.Please visit our great sponsors:It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about... Simple, effective emotion regulation strategies that actually work for 6-year-olds when disappointment over losing takes over—and how to use them in a way that feels supportive, not controlling. When to step in and what to say—a breakdown of the best parenting approaches before, during, and after a game to help your child manage big feelings in the moment (and build skills for the future). The secret to teaching good sportsmanship outside of game time—why some of the most powerful lessons happen when no one's keeping score. How the exact same words you say to your child can be either validating and invading - and what makes the difference so you can avoid the latter. How to keep things fun while still building resilience—because not every moment needs to be a teaching moment (and knowing when to step back is just as important). Unpacking the root drive of competitiveness in children so you know how to best channel this toward healthy and socially acceptable behaviors. ADDITIONAL PODCAST EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:

Let's Make Fans Matter Again! Welcome to day two of the Great NBA Reset. Jason and Jay Skapinac (aka Skap Attack) dive into potential off-season solutions the NBA could implement to create even more compelling content off the court. The NBA fan base has been completely overlooked. The media, once the voice of the fans, is now treated more like the players. But it's the fans who fuel the NBA engine — never bite the hand that feeds you. Before that, Jason and Skap break down the two play-in games from last night. The Orlando Magic blew out the Atlanta Hawks, with Trae Young getting ejected in dramatic fashion. Meanwhile, Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry delivered the final blow as the Golden State Warriors ended the Memphis Grizzlies' season. Do Orlando and Golden State stand a chance in the first round of the NBA playoffs? In other news, drama follows the WNBA Draft, as TCU point guard and former teammate of Angel Reese Haley Van Lith is selected by the Chicago Sky. Van Lith doesn't seem thrilled about reuniting with Reese. Meanwhile, Rich Paul — LeBron James' longtime friend and agent — joins "The Pat McAfee Show" and reflects on LeBron's Miami Heat days, claiming there was never truly a “Big Three” since Chris Bosh took a backseat role for the team's success. Jason's not alone in rejecting a Stephen A. Smith presidential run — Charles Barkley also gives it a firm “hard no.” And Travis Hunter tells the media he still plans to play both ways heading into the 2025 NFL Draft.

Are you overwhelmed by your child's clinginess, emotional meltdowns, tantrums, or constant need for attention?Do you want to be a calm, connected parent—but feel touched out, maxed out, and unsure how to respond without creating 'bad habits' in your children?In this episode, we respond to a heartfelt question from a listener who asked: “How do I support my children when they're being emotionally needy—but I'm running on empty myself? My husband says I'm forming bad habits in my kids and wearing myself out.”She's a devoted mom trying to show up with love—but when her child is falling apart, crying, throwing tantrums, or needing constant reassurance, she feels like she's emotionally drowning. Her natural response is to set more boundaries for her children to protect herself from burnout -- but is the best approach when YOU are the person who's the adult?If you've ever felt stuck between your own limits and your child's emotional needs, this conversation is for you.We explore how attachment parenting principles can help you stay emotionally grounded while building secure bonds—especially during challenging moments and phases. You'll learn how your child's clingy or intense behavior is actually a normal response to unmet emotional needs, and how to use those moments to deepen trust and connection instead of breaking your parent/child bond.We share practical ways to support your child's emotional growth without sacrificing your own well-being. From real-life parenting tools to nervous system regulation strategies, this episode will help you build a peaceful, connected home—even when parenting feels messy.Whether you're raising toddlers, preschoolers, or school-aged kids, these attachment parenting insights will empower you to create a strong foundation of safety, love, better behavior, and mental and emotional health now and into adulthood.✅ Your child's desire for closeness is a sign of healthy attachment—not weakness or 'bad habits'.✅ Emotional meltdowns and tantrums are signs of unmet attachment needs, not power struggles.✅ When you regulate yourself, you help your child develop emotionally through co-regulation. Children can't self-regulate.✅ Attachment parenting leads to long-term confidence, independence, and resilience.✅ You can meet your child's needs and protect your peace.Chapters00:00 The Key to Great Parenting10:02 The Importance of Truth in Parenting10:25 Navigating Parenting Challenges18:08 Understanding Attachment and Its Impact24:17 Building Strong Attachments for Better Outcomes31:20 Increasing Capacity as Parents36:45 The Complexity of Parenting39:31 Understanding Children's Emotional Needs42:48 The Importance of Self-Care for Parents45:39 Nutrition's Role in Parenting Effectiveness49:48 Prioritizing Childhood Development54:35 The Balance of Family Commitments59:15 Building Lasting Relationships with Children01:02:07 Strategies for Rebuilding Attachment01:06:48 Managing Parental Stress and Emotions
The Supreme Court gave Trump a one-line “out” about his foreign affairs powers, and Trump is now flipping the script and making the illegal removal and deportation of Armando Abrego Garcia all about Trump's foreign affairs powers as he now declares that the US is powerless to tell El Salvador what to do with Mr. Garcia, as Trump and the dictator of El Salvador taunt the American people and the US Supreme Court from the Oval Office. Michael Popok explains how Trump used the scripted Oval Office event to reinforce his new court filings, and discusses how Judge Xinis at her contempt hearing and the Supreme Court will respond, as the chances of Mr. Garcia's return dwindle to slim.

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by Michael Popok, host of MeidasTouch's Legal AF podcast and YouTube channel, and founder of The Popok Firm. Popok breaks down everything from potential stock market manipulation and insider trading allegations to sweeping purges of the federal workforce. We dive into Trump's erratic tariff policies, the collapse of institutional checks, and how Project 2025 is weaponizing government agencies for political revenge. As Trump consolidates power and targets judges, journalists, and civil servants, we sound the alarm on the real-time dismantling of American democracy.

Dan Nathan is joined by Peter Boockvar, CIO at Bleakly Advisors, to discuss the market's response to recent tariff announcements by the president. They talk about bond market volatility, earnings estimates, and the reaction from risk assets like crude oil, gold, and the U.S. dollar. Peter provides an in-depth analysis of the tariffs on steel, aluminum, and auto imports, and the temporary 90-day respite on reciprocal tariffs excluding China. The discussion also covers potential long-term impacts on trade relations, market fragility, and the shift in global economic dynamics, especially concerning China. They emphasize the market's underlying issues preceding the tariffs and question the sustainability of the current rally given ongoing economic uncertainties. After the break, Guy Adami and Peter explore the dramatic shifts in bond yields, the complexities of the current economic situation, and the implications of tariffs on global trade. Peter breaks down the traditional treasury trades, the impact of international relations on US treasuries, and the potential market reactions to various economic policies. The discussion also covers the weakening dollar, de-leveraging in the market, and the potential for a slowdown in the economy. They emphasize the importance of a disciplined approach to market analysis amidst unprecedented market movements and political maneuvers.
