On this episode of Faith and Family Fellowship, Pastor Chris Buscher speaks with Paul Osbourn, author of God's Big Plan: Earthly Kings to King Jesus.Through the fireside storytelling of Grandpa Joe and his three grandsons, the book introduces young readers to Saul, David, Solomon, Jehoshaphat, Hezekiah, Josiah, and ultimately Jesus Christ. Each earthly king reveals something about leadership, trust, wisdom, worship, obedience, and failure, while pointing children toward the one true King who never fails.Paul discusses why biblical history matters for children, how the Old Testament connects to the gospel, and why he wanted young readers to see Scripture as one unfolding story of redemption rather than a collection of disconnected Bible stories.God's Big Plan: Earthly Kings to King Jesus is scheduled to release on Amazon August 13, 2026.Get the book today on Amazon - https://a.co/d/09EV9XwLConnect with the author - paulosbourn.com Connect with Pastor Chris Buscher - pastorchrisbuscher.com

Modern education often trains students to absorb information, reproduce it on a test, and move on. But is that really learning? In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies Owens talks with Charley Dewberry, co-founder, Academic Dean, and tutor at Gutenberg College, about what it means to teach students to truly think. Drawing from his unusual journey through science, philosophy, biblical studies, and education, Charley challenges the idea that knowledge is simply a collection of facts. Instead, he argues that education should develop the skills students need to perceive carefully, read deeply, communicate well, and pursue truth with humility. Charley explains why we tend to see what we expect to see, how our assumptions shape our understanding, and why encountering people and ideas that challenge us can be essential to genuine learning. He also discusses authorial intent, Great Books, the developmental stages of education, and why younger students need opportunities for curiosity, discovery, and experience before they are ready to wrestle with increasingly complex ideas. The conversation also turns practical. What can parents and teachers do right now? Charley encourages adults to model a love of learning themselves, create room for discovery, listen seriously to those who think differently, and protect time for the kinds of conversations that technology increasingly pushes aside. In an age when information and instant answers are everywhere, this conversation is a reminder that education is about something much deeper: forming people who know how to think, listen, learn, and seek what is true.

Boundaries are not a heavy conversation you need a degree to have. They are small, repeated moments — and the right words handed to a child before they need them. Ashley Bendiksen, author of A Kids Book About Boundaries, shows teachers what to say. Ashley Bendiksen is a national speaker and abuse prevention advocate who spent years talking to teens about dating violence. Then she moved earlier. Her book for children ages five to nine teaches the skill underneath all of it: knowing you have a choice, and having the words to say so. In this conversation she shows what that looks like in an elementary classroom — the two-option choice, the "I don't like that" script, the pause to ask "did we ask first?" — none of which requires adding anything to your lesson plan. We also talk about your boundaries, because teaching is high-burnout work and we are modeling something for kids either way. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why boundaries are emotional and social, not just physical - The micro-moments that teach boundaries without a new lesson - A role-play activity you can run this week - What to say to the student who always decides what everyone plays - Why "let's all just get along" can send the wrong message - One small boundary to set for yourself this week Show notes and full transcript: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e970  Show Sponsor: Ellis, a program of Children's Health Council, sponsored this podcast episode.

“We don't want to remove all the obstacles your kids are going to go through. We want to teach them that they can handle whatever obstacles come their way, even if they are feeling anxious.” When your child is anxious, the instinct to reassure, rescue, or remove the stressor feels like love. But according to Dr. Allie Morford, licensed clinical psychologist and Assistant Professor in Child Psychiatry at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, that instinct can accidentally teach anxiety that it's in charge. I am Dr. Shelly Mahon, your host, and in this episode Dr. Allie Morford breaks down how to tell the difference between everyday worry and an anxiety disorder, why OCD in kids is so often mistaken for being neat or organized, and how exposure therapy, including Exposure with Response Prevention for OCD, actually works. We also dig into one of her specialties: School accommodations, what makes them genuinely helpful, which ones quietly reinforce avoidance, and how parents and schools can build a plan to reduce them over time. About Our Guest Dr. Allie Morford, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist and Assistant Professor in Child Psychiatry at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. She specializes in the assessment and treatment of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder in children and teens, and completed a child psychology fellowship in Anxiety and OCD at Children's Hospital Colorado. Her clinical work covers anxiety, worry, panic attacks, phobias, OCD, parent coaching, and broader mental health and behavior concerns in children and adolescents. In This Episode, We Cover: What draws a clinician to specialize in childhood anxiety and OCD How to tell the difference between normal "worrier" behavior and an anxiety disorder How anxiety shows up differently across ages and stages of development The physical, behavioral, and cognitive signs of anxiety in kids, through a CBT lens Common misconceptions about OCD in children (it's not about being neat) Why OCD shows up, and what it actually looks like day to day Why reassurance, rescuing, and removing stressors can make anxiety stronger over time The difference between validating a feeling and agreeing with the anxious thought What exposure therapy is and why it works for anxiety and OCD Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP) as a treatment for OCD What makes a school accommodation genuinely helpful vs. accidentally reinforcing avoidance How parents and schools can work as a team when anxiety affects attendance, tests, presentations, separation, or participation Building a plan to reduce or remove accommodations over time "Supportive statements" parents can use in the moment: "I know this is hard for you, and I know you can handle this" Why removing blame and shame from parenting matters in this work Other Lines Worth Remembering: “We never want to get rid of anxiety. It's a really healthy emotion for us to have. But we are looking for when it becomes the thing driving the bus or making decisions for kids.” “You're never going to have 100% certainty, but you can control something.” “Parents are not the problem, but they are a huge part of the solution.” Resources Mentioned & Related Reading: Allie Morford: faculty profile, University of Colorado School of Medicine The Rosenberry Conference: Pediatric Anxiety: Children's Hospital Colorado CE conference where Dr. Morford was faculty, covering exposure with response prevention (ERP) and evidence-based anxiety treatment SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions): The parent-based treatment program developed by Dr. Eli Lebowitz at the Yale Child Study Center, referenced in your notes as "Dr Ellie Lebawits" Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD: A Scientifically Proven Program for Parents by Eli R.

But in a world of endless stimulation, many children never slow down long enough to think past the next TikTok craze or YouTube short. In this episode of the All Pro Dad podcast, Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about why thinking deeply matters and how dads can intentionally develop that skill through critical thinking activities for kids.Why This MattersKids who learn to think critically become wiser decision-makers, better problem solvers, and more thoughtful adults.Key Takeaways1. Critical thinking develops over time.Kids naturally think about what's directly in front of them. Development plays a major role, but dads can help move them from simply reacting to actually reasoning through situations.2. Today's world makes deep thinking difficult.Constant stimulation, shorter attention spans, fewer kids reading for fun, and the disappearance of boredom all work against developing thoughtful children.3. Dads can intentionally teach kids to think.Critical thinking isn't just an academic skill. It helps kids consider consequences, understand different perspectives, solve problems, and make wise decisions throughout life.Practical Tips for Dads1. Create a slow-thinking environment.Reduce constant stimulation, allow boredom, limit screens, and introduce activities like chess, books, and uninterrupted conversations that naturally develop deeper thinking.2. Ask better questions.Instead of giving answers, ask open-ended questions like:"Why do you think that?""What do you think happened?""What would you do differently?"Follow-up questions teach kids how to think, not just what to think.3. Stretch your child's time horizon.Help kids connect today's decisions with tomorrow's outcomes. Talk about future goals, long-term consequences, and the kind of person they want to become.Important Episode Timestamps[00:00] Why Don't Our Kids Think Critically and What Can Dads Do About It?[00:30] Chicken on the Table and Other Signs Your Kids Aren't Thinking[03:17] Why Kids Aren't Wired to Think Critically Yet[04:12] The Difference Between Parroting and Actually Thinking[08:41] What Critical Thinking Actually Means in Kid Terms[09:36] Teaching Kids to See From Other Angles and Think Things Through[12:55] What's Getting in the Way of Kids Thinking Critically Today[16:35] Why Dads Need to Show Kids That the World Is Bigger Than Their Bubble[19:44] Practical Ways to Build Critical Thinking Into Everyday Life[23:12] This Week's Pro Move: Ask your child one thoughtful question this week—and resist the urge to answer it for them.

Host Pete Deeley welcomes Coach Levi Frank to The Jiu-Jitsu Mindset, shares updates on Submission Coffee sponsoring the Momentum Martial Arts Competition Team and the ad-free My Jiu Jitsu Journey app, then explores how martial arts transformed Levi's life. Levi explains he lacked confidence before MMA/jiu-jitsu and was influenced by watching UFC, school bullying, and a difficult relationship with his older brother. He credits Professor Darian Cobon with changing his worldview and mindset, replacing false security with confidence built from training and work, helping him calm overthinking and improve daily life. Levi argues competition is necessary because it tests training and changes people mentally regardless of outcome. He recounts a memorable amateur MMA TKO against a striker, following Darian's guidance to secure mount and finish with ground-and-pound. Levi also describes the impact of teaching kids and seeing dramatic confidence and life changes in students, and jokingly adopts the nickname "Super Billy Gilly" for his love of the guillotine.   00:00 Welcome and Sponsors 01:14 Life Without Martial Arts 02:39 Bullying and Early Motivation 04:03 Coach Darian Mindset Shift 05:26 Confidence Beyond the Mats 08:55 Why Competition Matters 11:43 Most Memorable MMA Fight 14:35 Ring vs Schoolyard Violence 18:39 Teaching Kids and Raising Lions 21:21 Gym Transformations and Wins 23:54 Super Billy Gilly Name 24:39 Closing and Next Meetup

In this inspiring episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes Janie Nitze, co-author of the picture book Heroes of 1776, to shine a light on the real human courage behind the Declaration of Independence. Speaking from historic Concord, Massachusetts, Janie shares how her background clerking for Justice Neil Gorsuch and their shared concern about the decline in civic education led them to create a children's book that doesn't just march through events, but highlights the sacrifices of men, women, and even children of the Revolutionary era. Janie explains that many of the Declaration's 56 signers paid a steep price—homes destroyed, family members lost, fortunes diminished—and most expected to be hanged for treason when they signed. She wants kids to see that they acted not for their own comfort, but for future generations, passing a torch of liberty that now rests in young readers' hands. Janie and Jed talk about the troubling statistics on civic knowledge and her hope that families will read rich, substantive books together, join debate clubs, and encourage kids to serve their communities and learn to "disagree while being agreeable." Janie also celebrates illustrator Chris Ellison, describing how his art brings to life powerful stories like teenage messenger Emily Geiger and 10-year-old soldier Richard Lord Jones. In the final segment, Jed talks with Cheryl Hellner, author of Sing Up the Earth, a layered picture book about art, nature, loss, and renewal. Cheryl describes how children connect with different threads—animals, grief, hope, or creativity—and how picture books can nourish both kids and adults at many stages of life.

Many parents believe more rules create better behavior. In reality, too many unnecessary rules often create more conflict, resentment, and power struggles.The goal isn't to control your children—it's to help them become self-governing adults who understand responsibility, think for themselves, and naturally develop high personal standards.When parents provide clear boundaries, loving leadership, and meaningful explanations, children develop confidence, security, and lasting respect.

How do we raise kids who care deeply, speak up with courage, and take meaningful action in the world? In this important and timely conversation, Wendy sits down with Dr. Shelby Kretz, founder of Little Justice Leaders, to explore how parents can nurture empathy, awareness, and advocacy in their children, without fear, shame, or overwhelm. Shelby breaks down what it really means to raise a “justice leader,” starting with everyday moments at home. From navigating tricky conversations about language and bias to helping kids understand history in an honest, age-appropriate way, this episode is packed with practical guidance and hope. Together, they talk about how to approach hard topics with curiosity instead of judgment, why kids are more capable than we think, and how small, consistent conversations can shape a more compassionate next generation. If you've ever wondered how to talk to your kids about fairness, inclusion, or standing up for others, this episode will leave you feeling grounded, empowered, and ready to lead. ➡️ Head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.freshstartfamilyonline.com/333 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more info and links.⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Teaching Kids How To Spot Manipulation (but at the family's expense?) Are we protecting our kids from family drama, or are we missing crucial teachable moments about manipulation and boundaries?

Grab your bevie and settle in, because today I'm talking about the question I keep teaching my girls to ask: “Why did they tell me that?” We're getting into gossip, friendship motives, direct communication, self-talk, comparison, and the difference between trying to control our tiny humans and choosing to have an impact. I also share the advice a therapist gave me when I was scared I wouldn't know how to parent a teenager, plus a little life update about London's birthday, D23, and why I'm learning to protect the moments I don't want to miss.

I once heard someone say, you tell me how your spend your time, and I'll tell you who or what your God is. For kids growing up in today's over-scheduled smartphone-saturated world, it's reasonable to assume that most kids spend far too little time or no time at all reading and studying their Bibles. This means that they spend more time focused on nurturing their allegiance to the idols of this world, rather than on nurturing their relationship with the One true God. We need to make it priority one to model regular Bible reading to our kids, while involving them in learning how to read the Bible by reading with us. Teach your children read the Bible regularly. Teach your children to read the Bible rightly, by seeking to understand it's intended meaning rather what they might think it means. And finally, read the Bible repetitiously, pondering, meditating on, and re-reading a passage. Parents, lead your children into embracing a hunger and thirst to know God's Word.

Have you ever felt the urge to yell or hand out a punishment during a chaotic grocery store meltdown? It is a moment meant to stop the behavior fast, but what if it is actually turning off the exact part of your child's brain that learns lessons? In this episode, I sit down with parenting author John Fogel to dismantle the massive misconceptions around discipline and childhood tantrums. John shares how traditional punishments backfire on our kids' nervous systems, and explains why our child's biggest meltdowns are actually a cry for connection and emotional tools rather than a sign of a bad kid. In this episode we cover: Why traditional punishments work against a child's brain and block them from learning lessons The power of getting curious instead of furious when your child has a major behavioral blowout Simple neuroscience brain hacks, like the color game, to bring a dysregulated child back online Why society holds toddlers to adult standards while adults throw tantrums with road rage The history of terrible parenting advice from the 1930s that is still impacting our families today How to take a beat and do no harm when your own triggers flare up in public Why doing the hard work to build emotional trust now makes the teenage years a total breeze Connect with Jon Fogel on Instagram @wholeparent, visit his site myparentlab.com and buy his two books Punishment-Free Parenting: https://go.shopmy.us/p-71062269 and Set My Feelings Free: https://go.shopmy.us/p-71062356 (paid links) Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

What if I told you the next generation of CEOs, innovators, and world-changers isn't sitting in a college lecture hall right now? They are actually in elementary and middle schools, waiting for the chance to prove what they're capable of.  Today's guest believes that when we trust children with responsibility and provide them with the right community, they don't just participate—they rise.Leah Ellis is a mother of four and the founder of The Society of Child Entrepreneurs (SoCE), a nonprofit dedicated to helping children ages 6–17 build confidence, leadership, and real-world business skills through hands-on learning. Inspired by watching her own children turn everyday ideas into action, Leah created SoCE to prove that children are capable of meaningful leadership right now. Through business fairs, curriculum, and coaching, she helps children launch real ventures, learn financial literacy, and develop resilience through experience, not theory. At the heart of her work is the belief that when kids are trusted with responsibility and supported by community, they rise. Leah's leadership is rooted in motherhood, creativity, and a commitment to building spaces where children and families can thrive.CONTACT DETAILS Email: leah@societyofchildentrepreneurs.org Business: The Society of Child EntrepreneursWebsite: https://societyofchildentrepreneurs.org/ Remember to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss "Information That You Can Use."

Summary In this episode, Andy sits down with Attia Qureshi, a coach and negotiation expert who is co-author, with John Richardson, of Never Settle. There's no shortage of great negotiation advice out there, yet in real conversations with real stakes and real emotions, that advice often fails to turn into action. This book tackles that gap between insight and habit. Attia shares why emotions are not a distraction from negotiation but central to it, why getting clear about what you actually want is harder than it sounds, and how we leave value on the table without realizing it. You'll hear practical stories, from resetting a difficult relationship with a glass of lemonade to expanding the pie in a salary negotiation, plus small daily exercises for building resilience to rejection and learning to say no in a way that strengthens relationships rather than damaging them. If you're looking for practical, doable ways to become a more confident negotiator and influencer, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "You can get more by caring about what the other person needs and building a strong relational foundation." "People are not born amazing negotiators. They develop that skill over time, just like people are not born confident." "You have to practice that small step out in the real world where the stakes are low and build that skill day after day, month after month." "You and I have probably already negotiated half a dozen times today." "When someone gives us something, we want to return the favor." "New studies now show that 90 to 95% of decision-making comes from unconscious emotional processing." "So many of us quit before we even start." "But if we do have a goal and we do prepare for the conversation, our likelihood of success is double." "A good negotiation doesn't always mean getting 'yes' at the end of it." "I always tell my students, people can almost always help you. It depends on if they want to or not."

What if the way we talk about periods shapes how our daughters feel about themselves for the rest of their lives? For generations, menstruation was treated as awkward, embarrassing, or simply ignored. In this conversation, Kylie sits down with holistic educator and author Kate Andrews to explore how honest conversations about puberty, periods and changing bodies can help girls grow up feeling informed, empowered and connected to themselves.

What began as small, grassroots acts of kindness blossomed into Maman (the Farsi word for "Mom"), a rapidly growing organization powered by over 500 active volunteers . Kimberly connects with Sara to explore the raw journey of losing a parent , the spiritual power of everyday giving , and how a dedicated network of mothers managed to coordinate massive humanitarian relief efforts overnight —including filling a private plane with two tons of critical medical supplies .

How do you teach kids to honor authority while also recognizing when an adult is asking them to do something wrong? In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz takes the question to Scripture. She walks through what the Bible says about submitting to parents, government, husbands, and the church, then turns to two examples of righteous disobedience, the Hebrew midwives who defied Pharaoh (Exodus 1) and Peter and John before the Sanhedrin (Acts 4). The dividing line in every case is God's Word, which is why teaching kids to read and understand Scripture for themselves is the real goal.

The state of public education is a mess. At the heart of it is a real struggle about a fundamental question: How much tech should our kids be exposed to daily in the classroom?Contrary to what parents have been told by public schools nationwide, there is no single one-size-fits-all solution for kids and that includes the use or non-use of tech tools like artificial intelligence (AI) in classrooms.Also, did those high-tech school districts warn you your kid's basic math skills would erode so much that she/he would be tethered to a tech device for the rest of their lives?Priten Soundar-Shah, author of Ethical Ed Tech: How Educators Can Lead on AI and Digital Safety in K-12, shares a better way forward based on the intelligent and deliberate use of technology that fosters better engagement in our public schools this week on Spirit Gym. Learn more about Priten and his much-needed work in the non-profit sector at his website.

When kids see protests, political debates, and powerful emotions playing out in real time on the news and in headlines, it's up to parents to help make sense of it all. Elise Hu revisits conversations with educator and author Sharon McMahon, and activist Tabitha St. Bernard Jacobs to explore what it means to use your voice, stand up for others, and participate in shaping the world through democracy and political demonstration. First, Sharon offers a clear framework for how to help kids research, question, and understand civic participation from a local perspective. Later, Tabitha provides language for talking to kids about what we're seeing on the news and age-appropriate options for participating in political protests.Together, these conversations help turn questions about justice, civic engagement, and activism into meaningful, ongoing discussion with your family. Key Takeaways: Tell your children that two truths can exist at the same time. Participating in democracy goes beyond simply voting once every four years. Educate yourself to feel more prepared tackling conversations with your kids. Don't be afraid to say “I don't know.” Prepare your kids for demonstrations and protests by starting conversations before leaving the house. ⏱️ Timestamps: Keep the conversation going at home with our FREE Conversation Kit companion guides:  Democracy: https://delivery.shopifyapps.com/-/60e70667a5651a3b/9023ffef84efb6c6 Political Protests: https://delivery.shopifyapps.com/-/9e2d5bbe4f9bd18c/8eb065ff420ea02c Follow Sharon McMahon on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/sharonsaysso Follow Tabitha St. Bernard Jacobs on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tabithastb New episodes every Tuesday: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AKidsCo Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/raising-us-a-parenting-podcast/id1552286967 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2bIRVxM8hbriNxydkSv6VG Or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome back to When Words Fail Music Speaks, the show where we battle depression and anxiety with the simple, undeniable power of song. I'm your host, James Cox—a lifelong music‑lover who's found solace in melody during life's darkest moments. Today, we're sitting down with a true musical renaissance man: Keith Apgar, the award‑winning singer‑songwriter, multi‑instrumentalist, and the creative force behind Harmonica Pocket.In this conversation, Keith takes us behind the curtain of a three‑decade‑long songwriting career that boasts over a thousand original songs—from whimsical kid tunes to heartfelt adult ballads. He shares the mysteries of his creative process: why some songs explode onto the page in minutes while others simmer for years, how he treats songwriting like a day‑job yet still finds joy in the craft, and why “Imperfection is a Gift” has become his mantra for both life and music.We'll explore:The butterfly‑net moments when melodies appear out of thin air.The balance of writing for children and adults without compromising authenticity.The notion that there's no such thing as a “bad song,” only songs that simply haven't found their audience yet.Keith's personal journey of turning setbacks—like a painful teenage guitar lesson—into motivation to keep playing, changing strings, and embracing new instruments.How music serves as a lifeline for mental health, and what advice Keith would give his younger self at a low point.Whether you're a seasoned songwriter, a teacher, a parent looking for songs that bridge generations, or anyone who's ever felt the weight of the world, this episode offers practical wisdom, inspiring anecdotes, and a reminder that every flaw, every misstep, can become a beautiful part of the song.Stay tuned, press play, and let the conversation remind you why—when words fail—music always speaks.

In this powerful and honest conversation, I sat down with Sharon McMahon to talk about something so many parents are quietly carrying right now - political exhaustion, moral tension, and the question of how to raise good humans in divided times. We unpack the difference between disagreement and dehumanization, politics and morality, optimism and hope. Sharon shares why feeling defeated is not a personal failure, how overwhelm is often by design, and why focusing on one or two issues can be more impactful than trying to care about everything at once. We also talk about boundaries in relationships, modeling values for our kids, coalition building, and what it really means to believe that the future is not finalized. In this episode, we discuss: The difference between politics as policy and politics as moral harm When “agree to disagree” no longer works How dehumanization differs from simple disagreement Why burnout and fear can make us easier to manipulate The difference between optimism and hope Why you do not have to care about everything equally How to focus your advocacy without burning out Coalition building and how real change actually happens Setting boundaries with family and friends during political tension Teaching children family values without demonizing others Why small joys and rest are part of long term resilience To connect with Sharon McMahon follow her on Instagram @sharonsaysso, check out all her resources at https://sharonmcmahon.com/ and buy her new book “We Are Mighty”: https://sharonmcmahon.com/book  00:00 Why Optimism Is Not the Goal 00:33 Meet Sharon McMahon, America's Government Teacher 01:43 Politics, Morality, and the Questions Parents Are Asking 03:11 Why Sharon Started Teaching Government Online 05:30 How to Stay Informed Without Losing Your Peace 08:20 Why You Do Not Have to Care About Every Issue Equally 12:37 When Politics Stops Being Policy and Becomes Right vs Wrong 18:01 When Agree to Disagree Stops Working 24:06 Boundaries, Family Conflict, and Not Demonizing People 29:17 Teaching Kids the Difference Between Disagreement and Dehumanization 33:09 How Fear, Burnout, and Hopelessness Make People Easier to Manipulate 35:34 What Real Advocacy Looks Like Beyond Voting 40:29 Coalition Building and How Change Actually Happens 44:31 Sharon's Children's Book and Why Agency Matters for Kids 50:58 What Gives Sharon Hope Right Now 52:34 Small Joys, Rest, and Building Resilience Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

My kids are 11 and 14, and I will be the first to tell you that teaching them practical life skills is not my strongest suit. I am genuinely good at the emotional work, the hard conversations, the staying connected through difficult seasons. But the cooking, the chores, the keeping-a-home-running piece of parenting is an area where I know, with great compassion for myself, that we have room to grow. Summer has a way of opening up just enough space to do something new, and this episode will give you a clear and hopeful place to start if you're like me and it's not your biggest strength. This week's guest is Katie Kimball, founder of Kids Cook Real Food and a life skills educator who has been doing this work with her own four kids long enough to be living the results.She gave me so much hope that it is not too late — even if your kids are older, even if you feel like you've missed the window, even if you've been meaning to do this for years and just haven't gotten there yet, and even if, like me, you sat down with a life skills expert and within the first five minutes had to ask what a chef's knife was.
