Labor Day might be about rest, but in the basement, we're getting to work on busting some of the most persistent myths in personal finance. Joe Saul-Sehy and OG welcome insurance pro Tony Steuer to unpack the shiny marketing around infinite banking and velocity banking.

Renowned financial journalist Chuck Jaffe joins the crew, fresh from becoming a grandfather, to share how he's setting his new grandchild up for a strong financial future. Think stock portfolios for toddlers, early Roth IRA strategies, and simple systems that keep family generosity from getting lost in the shuffle. His practical, battle-tested tips will have you thinking differently about the best ways to give kids a head start. Whether you're looking to avoid costly detours or create generational wealth, this episode is equal parts cautionary tale and inspiration. You'll walk away ready to dodge financial traps, build smarter for the next generation, and maybe even rethink your own long-term giving plans. Why infinite and velocity banking aren't the slam-dunk solutions they're often sold as How to spot the red flags in permanent life insurance pitches Smart, tax-efficient ways to save for children and grandchildren Creative strategies for gifting assets that grow with the child The importance of balancing generosity with your own long-term goals Ideas to Ponder During Today's Episode Have you ever been pitched an “innovative” financial strategy that didn't feel quite right?

In this episode, I speak with Chandra about her path into trauma-informed work with young children and their caregivers. Raised in San Francisco by parents who worked in child welfare, Chandra was exposed early to stories of trauma and healing. Before age 7, several of her friends lost their parents to cancer, which inspired her to become a doctor. In high school, during an internship on a pediatric oncology ward she noticed that while physical health was prioritized, children's emotional needs were often overlooked. This realization led her to study psychology. After college, Chandra worked at a residential program with children aged 6–12. She found the children often opened up about trauma during informal moments—car rides, bedtime, or watching TV—highlighting the need to involve caregivers in the healing process. In 1998, Chandra interned with Dr. Alicia Lieberman at UCSF's Child Trauma Research Program, where she trained in Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), an evidence-based treatment for young children under age 6 who have experienced trauma. She later developed the CPP fidelity framework and co-authored the second edition of the manual. Chandra noted a key challenge: although many parents recognize their child's trauma, few clinicians are trained to work effectively with young children. Many therapists also avoid discussing trauma directly with young children, which can leave them alone with their experiences. CPP begins with the therapist meeting alone with the caregiver to supportively explore the child's symptoms, experiences of trauma, the caregiver's own history, including how past experiences may shape the parent's responses. Then the therapist and caregiver gently acknowledge past traumatic experiences to the child—“speaking the unspeakable”—and help the child process their experiences using developmentally attuned pacing and modalities, including play and art. As children process their experiences they sometimes shift topics or activities or seek physical comfort when they begin to move outside their window of tolerance. Therapists help parents understand this process, attune to their child's needs, and support their child. CPP has a strong evidence base, including five randomized controlled trials. It has shown positive outcomes for preschoolers exposed to violence and infants and toddlers who experienced maltreatment. Notably, a recent study found CPP is associated with lower epigenetic age acceleration in trauma-exposed children aged 2–6—suggesting a measurable impact at the biological level. Chandra Ghosh Ippen, Ph.D. is a child trauma psychologist specializing in working with families with children under age 6. She is co-developer of Child-Parent Psychotherapy, the associate director of the Child Trauma Research Program at the University of California, San Francisco, and a member of the Board of Directors of Zero to Three. She has spent over 30 years conducting clinical work, research, and training in the area of childhood trauma and diversity-informed practice. She is also an award-winning children's book author and has written 5 children's books as well as the free Trinka and Sam disaster series, which has been translated and distributed to over 400,000 families around the world.

I believe when parents allow their young children to date it's wrong parenting. Children should be focused on getting through and finishing school, not on love and relationships. Children absolutely do not know how to handle love and relationships because they don't know anything about it. Grown people don't know anything about love and relationships, why do you think children will know? Yet, parents allow their young children to date, which oftentimes mess up children mentally leading to suicidal and sometimes homicidal thoughts. It has also led to abortions, pregnancies, depression, anxiety, etc. Many children have a harder time in school mainly because of their home lives, but also because they're forming relationships that they can't handle.

Three Primary 3 boys from Sengkang Green Primary School were suspended after bullying a female classmate, with one caned for sending violent death threats to her mother. The girl was so distressed by the incidents that she temporarily stopped attending school, and has since returned under a safety plan. The case has sparked public debate about how bullying escalates, how schools respond, and the role of parents in ensuring children’s safety. On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong spoke to Jean Tan, Clinical Psychologist, Clinical Psychology Associates, to find out more about the psychological factors behind such extreme bullying, why children might engage in hurtful behaviour at a young age, and what steps schools and parents can take to prevent and address these incidents effectively.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this workshop from the 2024 Rooted conference in Dallas, veteran youth leader Vince Greenwald shares the essential values of the church, and the youth ministry where he serves. While acknowledging that what students need, more than anything, everytime they gather, is the gospel. But the additional elements of offering a safe environment- defined as “every student needs a place where they can stop trying to be impressive and start being known” - and time allow students to flourish in the manner and timeline the Lord has decreed. Stay tuned for his six questions at the end to help you discern if the gospel, safety, and time are central values in your ministry to teenagers.Vince Greenwald serves an assistant pastor at Immanuel Church Nashville and holds a MA in Biblical and Theological Studies from Covenant Theological Seminary. He and his wife Caroline live in Nashville, Tennessee with their children Bear, Lila, and Grace. Vince seeks to joyfully follow Jesus and serve the Church with Caroline, bringing students and their families along with them.Romans 1:161 Corinthians 3:61 John 1:7Rooted Resources:What Is Gospel-Centered Youth Ministry? by Chelsea Kingston EricksonThe Slow Process of Growth by Josh HussungThe Long, Slow Work of Gospel Formation by Kendal ConnorDepend, Believe, and Obey: Unleashing the Power of the Gospel by Dave HartGospel Catechisms for Young Children and TeenagersFollow @therootedministry on Instagram for more updates Register for Rooted 2025 Conference in Chicago Follow @therootedministry on Instagram for more updates andSubscribe to Youth Ministry Unscripted wherever you listen to podcasts

In this episode of the Connected Parenting Podcast, we're diving into two real-life listener questions as part of our Q&A series.First, we explore how to support an eight-year-old who has emotional outbursts in stores when they're told “no.” Why do these meltdowns happen, and how can we respond in ways that actually build emotional regulation instead of making things worse?Then we shift gears to talk about teens, specifically, what to do when your teenager refuses to go on family weekends or trips. We unpack the reasons behind this resistance, and how to balance empathy with boundaries while still keeping the family connection strong.These two scenarios may seem different, but at their core, both are about emotional regulation, autonomy, and how we show up as calm, connected leaders for our kids, even when things get heated or hard.Tune in to hear strategies, mindset shifts, and scripts you can start using right away to manage these tough parenting moments with more confidence and less stress.Jennifer's Takeaways:Addressing Tantrums in Young Children (15:35)Strategies for Managing Tantrums (15:47)Handling Teenage Refusals to Go Away with the Family (16:00)Maintaining Consistency and Confidence (16:12)Meet Jennifer KolariJennifer Kolari is the host of the “Connected Parenting” weekly podcast and the co-host of “The Mental Health Comedy” podcast.
