In this episode of the Addict to Athlete podcast, Coach Blu Robinson interviews Mallary Tenore Tarpley, a journalist and author, about her experiences with eating disorders and the concept of recovery. They discuss the importance of vulnerability in storytelling, the misconceptions surrounding eating disorders, and the impact of social media on body image. Mallary shares her journey of writing a book that explores the 'middle place' of recovery, where individuals may not be fully recovered but are still making progress. The conversation also touches on parenting and how to teach children about body image and food in a healthy way. Check out Mallary's book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Slip/Mallary-Tenore-Tarpley/9781668035016 Takeaways Writing has been a form of catharsis for me. Recovery is not a linear process; it's a journey. The 'middle place' of recovery is often overlooked. Vulnerability in storytelling can help others feel seen. Eating disorders affect people of all ages and backgrounds. Social media can exacerbate body image issues. It's important to neutralize food language with children. Comments about weight can trigger eating disorders. We need to educate families about eating disorders. The journey of recovery is ongoing and complex.

What does it really mean to feel safe - in your body, your mind and your relationships?In this episode, I sit down with Rae, a psychologist who specialises in working with children, teens, and neurodivergent young people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional regulation. Rae brings a rare mix of clinical insight and deep humanity to this conversation. We explore the complexities of growing up neurodivergent in a world that often misunderstands you, and how that experience can shape everything from identity to self-worth.We dive into the impact of early childhood trauma, what healthy emotional validation looks like, and why so many young people today are emotionally overwhelmed but under-supported. Rae also shares practical tools for parents, teachers and caregivers trying to create safer emotional environments for kids and we connect those ideas to some recurring themes from past guests who've spoken about their own inner child work, school struggles and misdiagnoses.This is a deeply compassionate and eye-opening episode about healing, understanding and giving young people what they actually need - not what we think they need.Don't miss out — hit FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE to stay updated with our latest episodes!

Guest Colleen Kelley Creating fun and accessible chemistry stories has been a labor of love for Colleen, as a retired chemistry professor and author of a series of kid's chemistry comic books. In 2023, the PBS short documentary, “Comic Book Chemistry,” was awarded an Emmy. Colleen holds a Ph.D. in chemistry from Penn State University and was a tenured professor with research expertise in environmental toxicology, medicinal chemistry, and chemistry education. Why This Episode Matters In this interview, Dr. Colleen discusses her journey from teaching college chemistry to developing "molecular literacy" programs for children ages 4-10. Inspired by her childhood experience with the Three Mile Island incident and challenges teaching college students, she created comic books with character-based storytelling to make chemistry accessible. She believes building neural pathways for understanding chemistry symbols early helps overcome traditional learning barriers and promotes lifelong scientific curiosity. Three Important Takeaways Chemistry education faces significant challenges, with a 50% failure rate among college students, often because they lack foundational understanding of molecular symbols and concepts. Teaching "molecular literacy" through storytelling and character-based learning engages young learners and creates neural pathways that make advanced chemistry concepts more accessible later in life. Chemistry education should extend beyond traditional classroom settings to help people of all ages (8-108) understand scientific concepts relevant to climate change, health issues, and daily life.

Family doctor, mom, and founder of TheSmartPhoneEffectMD, Dr. Alison Yeung joins us to tackle one of the biggest parenting challenges today: raising healthy, connected kids in a digital world.

With studies showing big gains in both academic performance and engagement, it's clear this tech is here to stay — but not without tradeoffs.From affordability and accessibility to concerns around screen time, emotional development, and safety, we dive into the guardrails that matter: child-tuned models, age-verification systems, and platforms like Plotago and Bedtimestory.AI that turn imagination into interactive stories.In a world where kids never stop asking “why,” AI might just be the new co-pilot for curiosity — as long as it's built with care.Liked what you heard?

Dr. Gibson is a leading voice in education and mental health, and our chat covered so many essential topics that every teacher, parent, and learner will find something to take away from it.

Do young children prefer to rely on their memory, or do they take the easier route and use external aids like lists and reminders? How do they decide when to put in the mental effort and when to lean on available tools?  In this episode of Under the Cortex, host Özge Gürcanlı Fischer Baum teams up with Zsuzsa Kaldy from the University of Massachusetts Boston. They discuss Kaldy's study published in APS's journal Psychological Science addressing how children balance memory with external help. The conversation evolves into what these findings reveal about cognitive development, and cultural differences in learning.  If you're interested in learning more about this research, visit psychologicalscience.org.  Send us your thoughts and questions at  underthecortex@psychologicalscience.org 

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”What happens when you hand high school students Aristotle, Aquinas, and Dante instead of dumbed-down material? According to teacher Jon Bishop, they respond with remarkable enthusiasm and depth.With only 30% of American high school students reading at minimum proficiency standards across the Nation, skyrocketing mental health issues, and declining academic outcomes despite increased spending... Rather than following educational fads, John advocates returning to proven approaches that engage students' moral imagination and foster genuine human connection.In this thought-provoking conversation, Jon shares how his "Human Flourishing" course creates space for students to engage with timeless texts through almost entirely student-led discussions. The results challenge popular assumptions about today's youth – today's teens are hungry for substance, meaning, and the language to express life's fundamental questions."These questions in human life are perennial," Jon explains. Read Jon's Important Article at the Catholic Exchange! Covenant Eyes   Use Promo Code: JP2Follow us and watch on X: John Paul II Renewal @JP2RenewalOn Rumble: JohnPaulIIRCWe Just Started again on YouTube:)Catch up with the latest on our website: jp2renew.org and Sign up for our Newsletter!!  Support the show

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming education, but when we think about AI in the classroom, we often picture high school or college students using it for research, coding, or content creation. But what about elementary school? Can AI be a valuable tool for our youngest learners? In Episode 260 of House of #EdTech, I sit down with Dan Gallagher, an experienced ed tech coach, to explore how AI can be integrated into elementary education. We dive into the best tools, practical applications, and strategies to ensure AI enhances learning while keeping students safe and engaged. Why AI Belongs in the Elementary Classroom Many educators hesitate to introduce AI to young students, concerned about privacy, ethics, and age-appropriate usage. But as Dan explains, AI isn't about replacing teachers—it's about enhancing personalized learning and supporting creativity. AI can act as a creative brainstorming partner, a writing assistant, and even a storytelling coach, helping students generate ideas and refine their work in ways that keep them engaged and excited about learning. And the best part? When used correctly, AI doesn't replace human interaction—it amplifies a teacher's ability to provide personalized feedback. Real-World AI Applications for Young Learners So, how does this work in a real classroom setting? Dan shares some inspiring examples: 1. AI-Powered Creative Writing & Storytelling Using AI chatbots like “Waffles” (a controlled, kid-friendly chatbot), students can interact with a virtual writing partner that helps them develop their storytelling skills. The AI can ask them engaging questions, suggest details, and even provide feedback on their writing. Example Activity: A student writing a story about a time traveler can ask the AI for historical facts, unique setting ideas, or character inspiration. The AI generates possibilities, but the student makes all the creative decisions! 2. Visual Learning & Digital Art with AI Tools AI-powered platforms like Canva's text-to-image generator allow young students to turn their ideas into visual representations. Example Activity: A class studying idioms might create posters using AI-generated images. If a student picks "It's raining cats and dogs," AI can generate an imaginative illustration, sparking discussion about figurative language. 3. Personalized Learning & AI Tutors AI can function as a virtual tutor, adapting to each student's needs. Platforms like Magic School AI provide instant feedback on writing assignments, while School AI can assist with generating lesson plans tailored to students' learning levels. Example Activity: A teacher might use AI to provide instant feedback on students' sentence structures, guiding them to refine their writing step by step instead of waiting for the teacher to get to each student individually. Addressing Safety & Ethical Concerns Of course, introducing AI in elementary education requires a responsible approach. Privacy, misinformation, and ethical use are all valid concerns. Dan and I discuss some best practices to keep AI use safe and effective: Use AI platforms with built-in content moderation (e.g., School AI, which ensures safe interactions). Set up AI usage in a controlled, “walled garden” environment where students can explore safely. Teach students critical thinking skills to evaluate AI-generated content—just because AI provides an answer doesn't mean it's always correct! Engage parents and school administrators by explaining how AI is being used responsibly in the classroom. Parents, in particular, may be hesitant, so educators should communicate the benefits while addressing concerns about safety. Tools like Common Sense Media can be great resources for helping families navigate AI responsibly. How Teachers Can Get Started with AI in Elementary Classrooms If you're an educator wondering how to introduce AI to younger students, here are some practical first steps: Start with simple AI tools like Google AutoDraw, which turns students' rough sketches into polished images. Use AI for brainstorming, not answers—help students see AI as a tool for sparking ideas, not just getting solutions. Model AI usage during lessons—demonstrate how you use AI to generate ideas or enhance lesson materials. Encourage creativity—have students work in groups to refine AI-generated content rather than taking it at face value. Final Thoughts: AI as a Partner in Education This episode is a reminder that AI is not just for older students or tech-savvy classrooms—it has the potential to unlock creativity, enhance engagement, and support personalized learning for young learners as well. AI won't replace teachers, but it can help them provide better support to more students—a true game-changer in today's classrooms.
