We know that resilience is a good trait for our kids to have. But can "grit" only be achieved through hardship and repeated failure? Can a kid whose everyday life is pretty cushy still be resilient, and if so, how is that resilience taught? We talk with resilience coach Talia Kovacs about how resilience is a skill that can be nurtured over time—even in the kid who regularly falls apart when the chicken nuggets touch the peas. Drawing from her experience as a classroom teacher, literacy expert, and parent coach, Talia explains why today's kids are struggling with perfectionism, fear of mistakes, and anxiety—and how parents may be unintentionally reinforcing those patterns. She shares why resilience doesn't require hardship, how spirituality (a concept distinct from religion) can help children feel grounded, and why independent play and healthy risk-taking matter more than ever. The conversation explores the difference between raising capable kids versus constantly protecting them, why parents' own nervous systems shape family resilience, and how changing the stories we tell about our children can help them develop confidence and self-trust.

In this short podcast from the Bry-X stage of the 7th Annual HVAC/R Training Symposium, Ty Branaman and Leilani Orr talk about how to teach kids the trades. They share lessons they've learned from the GRIT Foundation and over their careers as trades and home educators. Their approaches have evolved over the years, and GRIT has also evolved quite a bit from its beginnings. Leilani and Ty have found that the Socratic method is great for getting students to think critically; instead of spoon-feeding answers, teachers ask the students "why" and "how" questions. In GRIT Camps, mentors are there to keep students safe and guide them when needed, but mentors ultimately let students make mistakes and figure things out on their own. Students often make leaky joints when they braze for the first time, but it's their first time holding torches and most of the tools used at GRIT Camp. Making mistakes is crucial to the learning process. The mistakes we (and the students) make with our own hands also stick with us more than being told how to do a task the right way. Then, when students struggle, we can ask if they want to know a shortcut; they give their mentors permission to show them the right way. This method builds curiosity, and it allows students to get excited about a career in the trades or realize that the trades aren't for them but still walk away with hands-on skills and a newfound respect for the trades. Many tradespeople take the trade skills they learned as children for granted, as many children nowadays don't develop the same hands-on skills. The GRIT Foundation has a course that teaches mentors to teach students those hands-on skills that already seem like second nature to them. Even so, the course is just a guide, not something that needs to be followed to the letter. Many of the concepts taught in the guide and that mentors use at GRIT Camp also apply to apprentices.   Learn more about the GRIT Foundation at https://www.thegritfoundation.com/.

Your child says “fine,” shrugs, and disappears into their room, and you're left wondering what you missed. We sit down with international conversation coach Jackie Bailey to unpack why kids and teens often stay quiet even when parents are trying hard, and how small shifts in everyday parenting communication can rebuild confidence fast.Jackie shares the three conversations every child needs but rarely gets: “I see you,” “Let me try,” and “You're safe with me.” We talk about how judgment, quick fixes, and big emotional reactions can accidentally silence kids, then we replace those habits with practical tools like curiosity questions, calm responses, and letting kids solve problems with support instead of rescue. You'll also hear why “How was your day?” is basically a courtesy question, and how better prompts can unlock real stories, feelings, and trust.We also dig into the modern barrier of phones and social media, including the body-language message we send when we keep a device in our hands. Jackie explains simple connection practices that build self-esteem and communication skills from the inside out: using your child's name, making eye contact, listening for keywords, and reflecting them back so kids know they matter.If you're raising a shy child, dealing with school stress, or just trying to create a home where honest conversations happen, this one gives you a clear path forward.

Homesteading and education aren't just about what you know or how much you can produce. They're about the mindset, skills, and real-life experiences that shape how you live, work, and contribute to the world around you. And the truth is, more families than ever are questioning traditional education… but many aren't sure what to replace it with or how to confidently teach their kids real-world skills. In this episode of The Homestead Education Podcast, Kody Hanner sits down with Daniel Salatin of Polyface Farm to have an honest, practical conversation about learning outside the classroom, building a life through agriculture, and raising kids who are capable, confident, and ready for real life. From growing up on one of the most well-known regenerative farms to struggling in traditional academics, Daniel shares how hands-on learning, problem-solving, and purpose-driven work shaped his life and why those same principles matter now more than ever. Together, they talk about what education actually needs to look like, how kids learn best, and why real-life responsibility may be the missing piece for so many families today. This isn't just a conversation about farming or homeschooling. It's about raising a generation that knows how to think, work, and contribute. If you care about: Raising capable, confident kids Teaching real-life skills through everyday experiences Homeschooling with purpose (not pressure) Preparing kids for the real world—not just tests Building problem-solving and critical thinking skills Creating a lifestyle rooted in responsibility and contribution This episode will challenge how you think about education and remind you what actually matters. In This Episode, We Cover: Daniel's upbringing on Polyface Farm and his homeschool journey Why traditional education doesn't work for every child The importance of problem-solving over memorization How real-life responsibility creates motivation to learn Finding your life's calling and building a purpose-driven career Why agriculture and homesteading create natural learning environments The transition into leadership at Polyface Farm Inside the Polyface Stewardship Program and full farm immersion training The value of mentorship, trades, and hands-on experience How learning often happens faster when there's a real reason behind it

That the Lord May Whistle: The Story of Chito the Gossiping Fly by Twylla De CosteChito is a bored, restless young fly who desires adventure! He especially doesn't like how his daily home school and weekly Bible routine interrupts his freedom. Excited about his first adventure, he strays far from home, unaware of the surprise that awaits him. “Little fly? There are a lot of hungry frogs, toads, and salamanders in those marshy fields.” “My mother probably didn't mean this field,” Chito fibbed to the large horsefly. Framed in Bible verse, That the Lord May Whistle describes the importance of Shabbat/Sabbath, or the day of rest in the Lord. This unique explanation of the power of respect ultimately offers a resolution that is both entertaining and educating for children ages four to eight.Twylla De Coste is a self-taught fiction writer led by God's influence in her life. Her personal perspective about children and the many places she has lived is reflected in her stories. She is a former flight attendant, model, designer, and host for a pilot program in public broadcast television for latchkey children titled Community Focus with Twylla.Twylla has worked in Christian children's ministry in Asia and the United States since the age of eleven. She has also volunteered as a mentor for afterschool homework programs and helped develop at-risk preteen and teen curriculums.

"Video games aren't just entertainment—they are the primary school for identity and values for the next generation."In this episode of the Covenant Eyes Podcast, host Karen Potter welcomes Brent Dusing, founder and CEO of TruPlay Games, to discuss one of the fastest-growing influences in children's lives today: digital gaming. As screens increasingly dominate how kids learn, play, and interact, Brent shares why the gaming industry is not just entertainment—it's shaping identity, values, and worldview.Brent explains the heart behind TruPlay Games, a faith-based gaming platform designed to give families a safe and engaging alternative in a space often filled with harmful or low-quality content. Rather than simply telling parents what to avoid, TruPlay Games offers something better—story-driven games rooted in biblical principles, designed to inspire, teach, and build character.The conversation also dives into the evolving role of artificial intelligence in gaming, including how it can be used to manipulate behavior, increase screen time, and even filter what content is allowed to reach families. Brent challenges parents to be informed, intentional, and proactive in guiding their children through an increasingly complex digital landscape.This episode is both a wake-up call and a source of hope, reminding parents that while the challenges are real, there are still ways to create safe, meaningful digital experiences for the next generation.✨ Episode Topics Discussed• The current state of the gaming industry and its impact on children• Why screen time and digital content are shaping identity and values• The vision behind TruPlay Games and faith-based gaming alternatives• Story-driven gameplay and its influence on character development• The loss of narrative and attention span in short-form content culture• How artificial intelligence is being used in modern gaming• The risks of manipulation through in-app purchases and engagement tactics• Concerns about content filtering and bias in major tech platforms• Practical ways parents can guide and protect their children online• Creating safe digital environments without removing technology entirely

Send us Fan MailWhat if learning about money felt more like running a lemonade stand than sitting in a classroom?Can a video game improve financial literacy for kids? In this episode, Mac Gardner joins me to explore how Berryville teaches money, entrepreneurship, and real-world financial habits through hands-on experience.Key Takeaways

My friend Molly Liggett and I talk about the many experiments we've tried over the last decade or so to help our kids learn how to manage money. We talk about allowance vs. paying per chore, and we get into the nitty gritty details about how much we pay our kids, what we expect them to do around the house, what they pay for themselves and what we buy for them, plus what we do when they owe us money and how we encourage them to save.

This episode features entrepreneur and real estate investor Dave Allred sharing the deeply personal story behind his success. While Dave has achieved financial freedom and built a large real estate investment firm, the conversation focuses far more on mindset, adversity, family, and legacy.Dave reflects on a difficult childhood growing up in a low-income family with instability and conflict at home. After running away at 17, he learned to rely on resilience, hard work, and intentional personal development. Experiences like serving a mission in Peru, working in door-to-door sales, and mentorship from key figures helped him build confidence and develop leadership skills.The conversation explores how adversity can become a powerful source of growth when reframed with gratitude and responsibility rather than victimhood. Dave emphasizes becoming “comfortable being uncomfortable,” taking ownership of life decisions, and intentionally designing the life you want.Beyond financial success, Dave highlights his real priorities: being a present father, strengthening family culture, breaking generational trauma, and building a legacy that positively impacts future generations.The episode also dives into practical frameworks Dave uses in life, including his “Lifestyle Design” system, family principles, entrepreneurship lessons for his kids, and his “Financial Freedom Equation.” Ultimately, the discussion centers on creating a meaningful life through discipline, intentionality, service, gratitude, and strong relationships.Key Takeaways1. Adversity Can Be a GiftDave attributes much of his growth to the hardships he faced growing up. Difficult experiences forced him to develop resilience and the ability to embrace discomfort. 2. Life Happens For You, Not To YouDave emphasizes taking ownership of life outcomes. Instead of blaming circumstances, he reframes challenges as opportunities for growth.3. Discipline Creates FreedomA major philosophy Dave shares is that structure and discipline actually lead to greater freedom, not less.4. Lifestyle DesignAt age 30, Dave created a personal “Life Design” framework 5. Breaking Generational PatternsDave intentionally focuses on resetting the standard for future generations by:Addressing family traumaTeaching financial literacyModeling strong relationshipsEncouraging entrepreneurship in his kids6. Money Does Not Equal HappinessDave explains that beyond a certain point, more money doesn't produce greater fulfillment. Instead, money is best viewed as a tool for:FreedomImpactServiceOpportunitiesQuality of life7. Teach Kids to Produce ValueDave teaches his children that:“Nothing is given. Everything is earned.”All four of his kids started their own businesses and participate in a family foundation that donates to causes they care about.8. The Power of Mentorship & Speaking PossibilityDave credits several mentors who believed in him early and “spoke possibility” into his life when he couldn't see it himself.9. Healing Through VulnerabilityOne of the most emotional parts of the episode focuses on Dave processing childhood trauma, forgiving his parents, and capturing his father's legacy story before his health declines.10. Gratitude Changes PerspectiveDave emphasizes gratitude as one of the most powerful mindset shifts to overcome hardship and maintain abundance thinking.CONNECT WITH DAVE ALLRED*Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/daveallred/ *Website - https://www.daveallred.com/ LISTEN/WATCH/SUBSCRIBE TO THE YOUR LIFE LEGACY PODCAST*Apple Music - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-life-legacy-podcast/id1740167449 *Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2Cd8XFP59Ar864GcaoEDxW *YouTube Podcasts - https://www.youtube.com/@thelifelegacypodcast CONNECT WITH THE LIFE LEGACY PODCAST*Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lifelegacypodcast/ *TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@lifelegacypodcast *YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@thelifelegacypodcast

- Sam Underhill, Partner at Campaign Crafters Media, “Sam” - Michael Korvyakov, Partner at CCM, “Michael” - Ella White, Head of Outreach @ CCM, “Ella” Trisha welcomes college entrepreneurs Ella, Sam, and Michael from Campaign Crafters Media to discuss why a unified social media presence matters—especially for PNMs navigating sorority rush and anyone building a personal brand. Ella shares her University of Alabama rush experience during the highly publicized 2022 “Bama Rush” year: receiving her second-choice bid, trying it briefly, declining, then later joining her first-choice sorority through COB after a year and a half of making friends outside Greek life. The guests explain how they met and pivoted from political campaign work to helping private clients after political work dried up, with Sam describing experiences that pushed him toward entrepreneurship. They unpack what networking events are like in Washington, DC, why in-person connections can outperform cold DMs, and how confidence often matters more than appearances. Campaign Crafters outlines their social media management approach for personal brands—researching a niche, creating a content calendar, and using five high-performing content formats (face-to-camera videos, B-roll text videos, carousel posts, comparison videos, and skits) centered on retention. The conversation also covers why hashtags matter less now due to platform AI, why SEO keywords and clear storytelling are important, and how sorority recruitment teams review applicants' social media and broader activities.

By day, Amber Ivey uses big data to inform governmental policy decisions. Back in 2020, she was invited to tinker with a new tool from a young startup called OpenAI - two years before the public had ever heard the phrase "ChatGPT." She knew right away that the LLM would have huge ramifications for the way we relate to the Internet, and that kids would be particularly enraptured by it. She wrote a children's book about it, and her access to experts on the topic lead her to the next project: A podcast for kids and families about AI literacy - the risks, the potential, and the how we reckon with a digital world where nothing is what it seems. This week, Amber and Matt sit down to discuss what kids really understand when interacting with generative models, how to apply IRL critical thinking skills to the Internet, and why parents need credible and useful information now more than ever.

In this heartfelt episode of The Child Psych Podcast, we're joined by Her Royal Highness Princess Noor of Jordan—author, mother, and passionate advocate for raising emotionally healthy children through compassion, presence, and storytelling.Princess Noor takes us behind the scenes of her meaningful children's books, including Sometimes, Pandy's Book of Thanks, and Whisper's Journey, exploring why themes like emotional awareness, kindness, mindfulness, and gratitude are not “extras,” but foundational skills for childhood.Together, we talk about how stories can help children name and move through big feelings, build emotional intelligence, and strengthen parent-child connection. Princess Noor also shares gentle, practical ways parents and educators can use storytelling as a tool for shared regulation—helping kids feel safe, understood, and supported during emotional moments.We also explore how motherhood shaped her writing, how her Jordanian heritage influences the messages she shares, and what she hopes children will carry with them long after the book is closed: a deeper sense of self-worth, calm, and compassion.This episode is a beautiful reminder that sometimes the most powerful emotional tools come in the form of a simple story—read together.

Educational technology is a daily part of school for kids, from learning apps and video lessons to digital group projects. But is all this screen time actually helping kids learn?

#683: Candy now — or a toy later? You slide play money across the table and let your kid choose. That moment kicks off this episode, where Dr. Stephen Day joins us to talk about building a “mini economy” at home.  Dr. Day is the director of the Center for Economic Education at Virginia Commonwealth University. He also holds a PhD in social studies and economics curriculum and instruction. His work looks at how kids form money habits long before they deal with real paychecks, budgets, or credit cards. We break down how a mini economy actually works. Kids have job titles tied to age-appropriate chores. They earn play money. They spend it at a small household store set up on the kitchen table. The store might sell candy, small toys, or privileges like extra screen time. Parents set the prices. Kids decide whether to spend right away or save for something bigger. You hear how this plays out inside Day's own house. A three-year-old takes on the role of “zookeeper,” feeding the cat and picking up stuffed animals. A seven-year-old creates a weekly plan that alternates spending and saving, using patterns she learns at school. A five-year-old chooses to donate part of his earnings instead of spending anything. The system stays the same. The choices vary by kid. The conversation moves through childhood stage by stage. Early years center on routine, structure, and basic trade-offs. Elementary school becomes the key period for practice, when habits and norms take shape. Middle and high school bring longer planning timelines, more independence, and deeper conversations about work, contribution, and goals. We also dig into questions parents ask all the time. Should kids get paid for chores, or should chores come with living in the house? Day explains how families can separate family work, paid jobs, and service work so kids understand why they are doing each task. Clear categories help avoid confusion about motivation and responsibility. Busy schedules come up, too. Sports practices, travel, school events, and late workdays often knock chore systems off track. Day explains how vague expectations create conflict and why job titles and defined duties bring structure even during chaotic weeks. Throughout the episode, the focus stays on practice, not lectures. Kids do not learn money by hearing explanations. They learn by earning, choosing, saving, spending, and living with trade-offs — all inside a system small enough to fit on a kitchen table.

The Day a Cookie Business Changed How My Daughter Saw Money After watching a kid biz launch challenge our eight-year-old decided she wanted to start a cookie business. She figured out recipes, canvased the neighborhood, and delivered her first batch of cookie dough. By the end of the day, she had a stack of cash in her hand and stars in her eyes. https://www.youtube.com/live/yzjkVUl38HM Then we sat down at the table. “Okay,” I said, “you didn't just make $100 you made $100 of income. Now we're going to give, save, and spend.” Suddenly, that pile of money shrank. Ten dollars to giving. Forty to saving. Fifty left to spend. And right there, without a textbook or a classroom, she began to understand what real money management feels like: choices, trade-offs, and the realization that dollars follow value. That's a picture of how to teach kids about money in real life—not as an abstract idea, but as something they can see, touch, and live.

Why Learning How to Teach Kids About Money Matters More Than Ever When parents ask us how to teach kids about money, they're not really asking about dollars and cents. They're asking: How do I raise financially responsible kids? How do I help them avoid the money mistakes I made? How do I give my child a wealthy mindset, not a consumer mindset shaped by social media and advertising? In this article, we are going to walk with you through: How to teach your kids about money from a young age Simple money lessons for kids that start before they earn their first dollar How chores, jobs, and entrepreneurship help kids understand that dollars follow value How to teach kids about saving and spending, delayed gratification, and lifestyle choices How early money experiences shape your child's financial mindset, from little kids to teens to adult children By the end, you'll have practical scripts, examples, and frameworks you can start using today—whether your kids are 6, 16, or already out of the house. How to Teach Your Kids About Money From a Young Age If you ask us, there is no such thing as “too early” when it comes to teaching children financial literacy. From the moment they see you tap a card at the store, they're forming beliefs about money: Is money scarce or abundant? Is it something we talk about, or something we avoid? Does it control us, or do we steward it? We live in a world that constantly pushes kids toward consumption—commercials, YouTube, TikTok, billboards. A child who has never seen a Barbie Dream House commercial would be perfectly happy playing with pots and pans in the kitchen. The ad didn't just sell a toy; it told them what “ happiness” should look like. If we're not intentionally teaching kids good money habits, the culture is. That's why the earlier you start, the more “normal” healthy money habits feel. It's not a lecture—it's just how our family does life. How Early Money Experiences Shape Your Child's Financial Mindset Bruce often shares how his grandparents saved ration tickets from World War II on the windowsill for decades. They washed plastic forks and cups after every big holiday meal. Those early experiences created a deep, almost subconscious scarcity mindset. Later, his parents went through the inflation of the 1970s and the loss of a family business. All of that shaped how he views risk, saving, and spending even today. Your kids are also absorbing your story right now: How you react when an unexpected bill comes in Whether you complain constantly about money Whether you live in chronic anxiety or quiet confidence You don't have to be perfect. But you do need to be honest, consistent, and intentional. That's how parents can model healthy money habits for their children—far more powerfully than any lecture. Teaching Kids Delayed Gratification With Money: Saving First, Spending Later One of the most important money habits for kids that starts before they earn their first dollar is simply this: Save first, then spend what's left. It's the marshmallow test with dollars. Do I eat the one marshmallow now, or wait and get two later? With our kids, we use a simple three jar system for kids: give, save, spend. 10% to giving 40% to saving 50% to spending We started this when they were very young with transparent jars, so they could see money growing in each category. Anytime they earned money—from chores, business, or gifts we chose to include—we walked through the same process: Give first (generosity as a default, not an afterthought) Save second (for long-term wealth building and investing) Spend last (on wants and short-term goals) Over time, this shifted their thinking: “If I want $50 to spend, I have to earn $100.” “My savings isn't just future spending; it's capital for making more money.” That's teaching kids the difference between saving and spending in a way they can feel—not just understand intellectually. Teaching Kids About Saving and Spending: The Pain of a Bad Purchase For one of our daughters, the biggest teacher has been buyer's remorse. She's our spender. She'll get $25 and want to spend it immediately. Then, the next day, she sees something else she wants more, or realizes Christmas is coming and she wants to buy gifts for family—and that same $25 is gone. We don't shield her from that discomfort. We want her to feel: “Every dollar I spend here is a dollar I cannot spend there.” “My choices today affect my options tomorrow.” That's how to help your child avoid lifestyle creep and overspending later in life. It starts with small, low-stakes decisions that train their decision-making muscles long before those decisions involve cars, houses, and credit cards. How Chores and Earning Money Teach Kids Responsibility We don't pay our kids for basic chores. Chores—like cleaning your room, helping with dishes, cleaning up toys—are simply part of contributing to the family. That's how to raise financially responsible kids and emotionally responsible kids. But we do pay for above-and-beyond work that creates extra value: Vacuuming the whole house Cleaning all the bathrooms Larger projects we'd otherwise pay someone else to do That's when we start teaching kids that dollars follow value. Money is the result, not the cause. Bruce grew up mowing lawns, returning baseballs at the ball field, and collecting bottles for deposit money. No one handed him an allowance; he learned that if he wanted something, he had to figure out what value he could create in the world to earn it. That's also how chores and earning money teach kids responsibility: They recognize needs around them They see the connection between effort, value, and income They start to think entrepreneurially You're not just teaching kids about money management. You're teaching them how to think like producers, not just consumers. Helping Kids Develop a Wealth Mindset, Not a Consumer Mindset One of the biggest tensions today is balancing scarcity and abundance. On one side, there's fear-based scarcity: “We can't spend anything.” “We can never enjoy life.” “We must hoard every dollar.” On the other side, there's consumption-based scarcity: “If I don't buy the trip, the car, the concert, I'm missing out.” “I'm not enough unless I have more, do more, go more.” Both are fear-based. A wealth mindset says: I can enjoy life within wise limits. I choose meaningful experiences, not constant upgrades. I build a cash-flowing asset base that funds my lifestyle. This is where using Robert Kiyosaki's Cashflow game to teach kids about money can be powerful. It shows them: Income vs Expenses Assets vs Liabilities The goal of building cash-flowing assets until passive income exceeds expenses In other words, how to give your child a wealthy mindset not a consumer mindset—by showing them a bigger vision for money than just “get paid, then spend it.” Teaching Teens About Debit Cards and Digital Money Today, money is more invisible than ever. Tap your phone. Click a button. Apple Pay, Google Pay, one-click checkout—no pain, no pause, no counting cash. For teens, that can be dangerous. Teaching teens about debit cards and digital money means pulling back the curtain: Show them their bank statement regularly. Connect each purchase to the actual hours of work it took to earn it. Talk about overdrafts, fraud, and security—not to scare them, but to equip them. With our 14-year-old,

Many Christian parents want to protect their kids from sexual confusion, pornography, and cultural pressure—but waiting too long to talk about sexuality may be doing more harm than good.In this episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady sits down with Elizabeth Urbanowicz, founder of Foundation Worldview, to discuss how parents can teach kids God's good design for sexuality early, biblically, and without fear or shame.They explore:Why kids are encountering sexual ideas far earlier than most parents realizeHow to prepare children for pornography and cultural messages before exposure happensWhy “the talk” should be replaced with ongoing discipleship conversationsHow to teach kids biblical sexuality while leading with truth, grace, and the gospelPractical, age-appropriate tools parents can use starting as young as four years oldIf you're a parent, pastor, homeschooler, or Christian educator navigating today's culture, this conversation will equip you to shepherd your children with confidence, clarity, and compassion.Timestamps:00:00 – Why parents are waiting too long03:10 – The problem with “the talk”07:40 – Kids encounter sexual content earlier than you think12:55 – Teaching kids to think biblically, not fearfully18:20 – Preparing children for pornography in the culture26:40 – Age-appropriate conversations starting at 4–635:10 – Sexuality as a good gift from God42:00 – Helping kids process shame and curiosity49:30 – What to do if parents feel hypocritical57:45 – Protecting kids from sexual abuse1:07:10 – Loving family members outside God's design1:15:30 – Teaching truth with kindness1:22:40 – Foundation Worldview resources1:26:30 – Final encouragement for parents

Evolutionary ideas directly contradict God's Word. Eventually kids will run into evolution—and they need to be prepared with answers.

Want to teach your kids confidence, money skills, and resilience — all at once? Entrepreneurship isn't just for adults. It's how kids learn life skills. In this episode of The Business Ownrship Podcast, I interviewed Mike Mammel. Mike is here to talk about Mini Titans.Mini Titans is a character-building program that uses entrepreneurship as a powerful tool to instill essential life skills in children.Why entrepreneurship?Resilience Through Challenge:Entrepreneurship is inherently challenging, giving kids the opportunity to experience setbacks and learn how to bounce back stronger, smarter, and more capable. This builds a foundation for self-reflection, emotional strength, and lifelong personal growth.A Path to Abundance:A life of abundance begins with understanding oneself. Entrepreneurship pushes individuals — even young ones — to adapt, persevere, and rise to challenges. These traits become the building blocks of a fulfilling, confident, and prosperous life.How Mini Titans BeganThe idea for Mini Titans began in the spring of 2022. After losing the tourism business he had built over seven years, Mike found himself facing uncertainty, shaken confidence, and a painful sense of failure. Unsure of his next steps, he struggled to rebuild his sense of purpose — until a simple question from his young children changed everything.Sitting at the kitchen table with his wife and kids, his six-year-old son and four-year-old daughter asked, “Dad, how do you make money?”He didn't want to give them a single answer like, “You work for someone.” He wanted them to understand both paths — working for others and starting something of their own. But explaining business concepts to young kids felt impossible.So instead of explaining, he decided to show them.Together, they planned their first business: a lemonade stand. But not just any lemonade stand — a hands-on experience in work ethic and problem-solving. They hand-pressed lemons and oranges, experimented with recipes, adjusted their plan, and prepared like a real business team.The kids negotiated the selling location in a high-traffic area and even negotiated fruit prices to lower costs. On sale day, the weather was cold and rainy — their only permitted day to sell — forcing them to pivot. After speaking with the store manager, they secured permission to set up inside instead.From there, the kids greeted every customer with bright energy:“Hello! How is your day?”They practiced their pitch so they could either add joy to someone's great day or help brighten a challenging one with a cup of lemonade.After five hours, the kids earned over $300.From those earnings, they followed the three principles that continue to guide Mini Titans today:Spend a little for immediate rewardSave a portion for their future educationDonate a portion to give backThe real success came afterward — when the kids begged to do it again every summer.That enthusiasm, curiosity, and growth became the foundation of the Mini Titans program, now dedicated to helping children build character, confidence, and resilience through entrepreneurship.Tune in now and learn how to help your kids become confident, capable problem-solvers.Check this out!Show Links:Contact Mike via email at: info@minititans.caMini Titans Website: https://www.minititans.ca/Mike Mammel on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-mammel-0968926a/Book a call with Michelle: https://go.appointmentcore.com/book/IcFD4cGJoin our Facebook group for business owners to get help or help other business owners!The Business Ownership Group - Secrets to Scaling: https://www.facebook.com/groups/businessownershipsecretstoscalingLooking to scale your business?

As a kindergarten teacher, a big part of Violet Nye's job  is teaching kids how to read. But the way she teaches her students is very different from how she learned as a kid. She remembers being taught to memorize whole words. Now, she's steeped in the practice of teaching kids how to sound out words, while also building up their vocabulary and helping them lift words off the page to imagine whole new worlds from stories. A new law aims to get more California teachers to teach reading the way Violet does. It comes after years of advocacy and debate and required a significant amount of compromise. Guests: Violet Nye, Kindergarten teacher, San Juan Unified School District Diana Lambert, Reporter, EdSource Read more from EdSource: New law changes how California kids learn to read Education Beat is a weekly podcast hosted by EdSource's Zaidee Stavely and produced by Coby McDonald.

Some students seem to need your help every few minutes, whether it's finding a pencil, getting assistance with an assignment, or asking what to do next. While their constant need for reassurance can feel overwhelming, these moments are golden opportunities to teach independence.

The Barak Lurie Podcast

In this special video episode, learn what proposed stock market rule changes could mean for your portfolio and how to grow your teen's money skills. Will corporate earnings reports soon shift from quarterly to twice a year? And what could new rules about day trading mean for everyday investors? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola team up with senior news writer Anna Helhoski and investing lead writer Sam Taube to break down how potential SEC rule changes could reshape the stock market. They explore the pros and cons of less frequent earnings reports, what research shows about long-term investing behavior, and how easing day-trading limits might open doors for some investors — while raising risks for others. They also share practical ways to interpret earnings data, stay focused on long-term goals, and avoid emotional trading. Then, Sean and Elizabeth meet with listener Essa in-person to discuss how to teach kids money skills at home. They cover options for approaching allowances and savings goals (e.g., Greenlight), building credit safely via authorized-user setups or secured cards, and turning lessons into hands-on practice with simulations and budgeting tools. Essa shares what's been working in her household so far and gets suggestions on how to introduce new money concepts to her kids.

Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ We spend years teaching kids how to read, write, and memorize facts. But almost no one teaches them how to feel. This week on Heal Thy Self, Dr. G sits down with Dr. Lori Woodley, a counselor, author, and nonprofit founder who has spent 30 years working with kids, families, and schools. Her message is simple but life-changing: the most important skill we can teach kids isn't math or grammar. It's emotional intelligence. Because here's the truth: If a child can't name their feelings, they can't regulate them. If they can't regulate their emotions, they can't build confidence. And without confidence, they grow up wearing masks, hiding their fear, doubting their worth, and drifting through life without direction. In this conversation, Lori shares powerful insights for parents, educators, and anyone healing their inner child: The single question that instantly builds trust: “What do you need right now?” Why the #1 parenting mistake is trying to “teach a lesson” instead of listening. How kids actually feel the energy adults try to hide and why hypocrisy destroys trust faster than anything. Why confidence is the foundation skill for every child, and how emotional literacy unlocks it. The danger of power struggles and how to replace them with collaboration and respect. How triggers from our own childhood show up in parenting, and why conscious reflection matters more than perfection. Why kids are more autonomous and aware than we think and how to honor that without losing healthy boundaries. How emotional intelligence is a muscle that gets stronger with practice, for kids and adults. The story of Lori's nonprofit All It Takes, co-founded with her daughter, that's bringing these tools to schools, educators, and families around the world. This isn't just a parenting conversation. It's about building the kind of emotional literacy that shapes resilient kids, healthier families, and even stronger communities. If you've ever wished your child or even your inner child had more confidence, resilience, and self-trust, this episode could change everything.

When your child answers “good” to your question about their day, it might feel like the conversation ends there. But they're actually telling you a story. You just need the tools to uncover it.   In this episode, listening expert Christine Miles and I explore how to teach kids the language of listening, helping them – and you – tune in to the full story behind every conversation.   Through her Listening Path framework, Christine offers a practical way to turn listening into a skill kids can learn and use. You'll discover how to ask the right questions to uncover stories and help your kids build deeper connections with the people in their lives.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://planningplaytime.com/108
