Hey Friends~
It is Holiday time of the year!! No matter where you are in the world, you are quite possibly celebrating SOMETHING during these shortest days of the year! It’s often hard to keep up with school and normal daily life - without also adding in big celebrations. But that is just what goes on in December! How do we Keep the joy? Keep it light? Remember what you are doing and what you are celebrating?
Today’s topic is how we can draw our kids into the experience. Maybe your experience is being part of a Musical or Play or putting up decorations or making special food. Sometimes our kids participate willingly and happily and other times they pout, whine, and worse.
Always cheering you on!

Hey Friends~
Have you ever had a book that changes how you communicate with your child? Maybe the book showed a new way to handle a problem - and you think, I am going to be more like Mrs. Buttercup!
Maybe that story helped you learn how to explain something in a way that your child understands. Maybe it is a concept, maybe a behavior. Maybe the story even helped YOU understand the concept or behavior DIFFERENTLY. Stories are powerful!! Stories teach in ways that we cannot do when we speak directly.
You will enjoy today’s author, Julia Cook, as she teaches you directly about today’s youth and the current thinking patterns and mindset that is so different from how you grew up. She explains how to reach in and connect so that you understand how your internet -connected child is learning.
Julia quotes her mentor in saying, “a story reaches a child’s mind in ways that you cannot teach in directions…. “
Always cheering you on!

Hey Friends~
Holidays are a time that we create stories. Stories have the power to draw our families together and we can weave into those stories the lessons that we really want our kids to know!
Listening to stories is a fabulous way to TRAIN OUR IMAGINATION AND OUR LISTENING SKILLS at the same time! Do you do any “Listen-Only” stories? Human brains are developing differently now with so much screen exposure.
Today, we have a master storyteller here with us! Bob Hastings shares how his creativity was sparked through storytelling with his kids and grandkids. Then, he realized the immense impact and influence the stories had!
Don’t underestimate the power of storytelling and what YOU can do with it!!
Always cheering you on!

ABOUT THE GUEST: When Bob's children Andrew Wood and Erin Katherine were young, Bob made up "Woody and Katie Stories" based on their middle names. Fast forward a few decades and Drew's son Arlo asked "Bear King" (the name he calls Bob) to tell him a "wind story." That prompted Bob to create this podcast series, drawing on the arc of the adventure books he loved as a kid and continuing the tradition of naming characters loosely on children's names. Grandsons Arlo is "Loar" and Oren is "Roen." Grandnieces Aurora, Delaney and Allessandra are featured, too. They visit neighborhoods where family members live.
Before he retired from the TriMet transit agency, Bob oversaw the architectural design of the Tilikum Crossing Bridge of the People over the Willamette River. He also managed the agency's alternative energy projects. Today, Bob lives in a Portland high-rise "sky cave" condo tower by the river, bridge and Ross Island. He and his wife "Bear Queen" drive an all-electric car.

Hey Friends~
Are you wondering why your child echoes you? Do they not really answer the question, but actually repeat what you say, back to you? This pattern of communication is indicative of a Gestalt Language Processor. This pattern is common among kiddos with autism. Kids without autism may also use this pattern of language, though it is most common in the very early years.
How do you manage this?
Always respond Be a sleuth - figure out what that echo might representEmbrace their attempts to communicateUnderstand this is a scriptListen in for examples and ideas for how to respond, what to look for, understanding the scripts, and how to increase your child’s interactive language in supportive ways.

Hey Friends~
Walking the road of parenting is hard. It is filled with joy and struggles. We are okay to feel the way we feel. No matter what you feel about it. Learning to let go of negative judgment and condemning thoughts about our feelings is critical to be authentically yourself. Parents are often able to do this with their kids, but continue to struggle to be so kind to themselves. If this is you, you will LOVE today’s Episode with Susanna Peace Lovell, author of Your True Self is Enough.
Susanna’s daughter wrote in the forward of the book, “Learn to understand your child rather than make them do what you think is normal.”
When you learn from your child who they are, instead of trying to create them to be who we want them to be, we free ourselves to do the same for ourselves.
You will be glad you tuned in to this encouraging and authentic episode.
Always cheering you on!

Hey Friends~
Have you been cultured to be quiet? Have you grown up NOT telling what is actually true for you? Perhaps you know that if you tell what you actually think - It would not be okay. You learned to say what is expected of you.
This is “socialized behavior.” … There is a time for that.
Not Today!
If you want your kids to tell you the truth, you need to be able to accept ALL KINDS of truth. We cannot expect our kids to only speak the truth when we want to hear. That is, if you want an authentic, honest relationship with them!
If we start this socialized pattern when they are small, we inadvertently teach them they cannot trust themselves, which leads to many unnecessary struggles.
Always cheering you on!

Hey Friends~
Is your child using past tense mistakes like “I maked it,” instead of “I made it” ?
Do they use present tense instead of past: “I cook,” when it was actually this morning when they helped with breakfast?
Past tense errors are a common indicator showing a child needs some help with language development. A common mistake parents make is thinking the child will simply figure it out. While that can be true sometimes, waiting also allows them to create habits that later need to be undone and re-learned.
If you’d like to know how to help your child with using better language NOW, listen in for 4 simple steps to make the correction easy. Why not help your child early, along the way, as they are developing!
Always cheering you on!

Hey Friends~
Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is a communication disorder that interferes with learning, understanding, and using language. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the USA says DLD “is one of the most common developmental disorders, affecting approximately 1 in 14 children in kindergarten.” To add to the confusion, over the years, “DLD has also been called specific language impairment, language delay, or developmental dysphasia.” Source: https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/sites/default/files/Documents/health/voice/developmental-language-disorder.pdf
Is your child struggling in school? Not listening well? & Unable to communicate what they mean?
Today’s guest, Lois Letchford, shares her story that led to connecting the dots for her son’s understanding and learning in the presence of Dyslexia, Developmental Language Disorder, and other developmental struggles. She put away what was not working and used what her son was interested in. She says, “Curiosity propagates in the brain in untold ways.” She gives practical descriptions that you can use, whether you are a teacher or a parent, to help your children better.
This episode is a must listen for Parents, Educators, Child-care workers, Speech Pathologists, and all those living or working with children! Please share this episode with those who are!
Always cheering you on!

Hey Friends~
Words have power!
Sometimes our children say things TO US that are painful. It is difficult to know how to handle it!
We want to be gracious but we also want the harsh words to end! We want to pass on our values!
And how to handle it in a way that passes on values and isn’t “preachy?”
Wisdom comes from experience. Kids don’t have many experiences yet, Therefore, they do not have wisdom yet.
Get ready to take notes during this deep and nourishing conversation with Marcus Higgs as he shares what he learned about communicating with kids and passing on values.
Always cheering you on!
