  • Popcast#14 - Returning to School & Embracing a New Healthy Routine
    Sep 12 2025

    🎧 In today’s episode, we’re diving into Returning to School & Embracing a Healthy Routine — because we all know those first few weeks back can be a mix of excitement, nerves, and lots of adjustments.

    In this episode, we will cover:

    🍎 The power of a protein-packed, low-sugar breakfast to fuel focus and energy all morning long.

    😴 Why sleep matters (with fun science facts!) and how enough rest helps kids learn, grow, and stay cheerful.

    🤝 Simple “icebreaker tricks” for making new friends or joining a new class with confidence.

    👜 How to set up a stress-free school morning routine — from stretching to the backpack buddy check.

    💡 Encouragement for kids to embrace all those back-to-school emotions (yes, it’s normal to feel excited and nervous at the same time!).

    🎬 Special feature: “dry run” examples that kids can rehearse to practice healthy routines and social situations — helping them feel prepared, confident, and less anxious.

    🎯 Plus, a playful challenge of the week to help mornings run smoother (and maybe even leave time for a dance party before school!).

    Listening to this episode will give your child tools to start the school year strong, feel supported, and build healthy habits that will stick with them. 🌈✨

    🎧 Tune in now and let’s help our kids head back to school with confidence and joy!

  • Popcast#13 - "Lying: Why We Do It (Even When We Don’t Want To)"
    Jun 6 2025

    🎧 In today’s episode, we explore a topic every child deals with at some point: Lying — and why we might do it. From fibs about homework to stories that “just fell out,” we’re helping kids (ages 5–10) understand the big feelings behind small lies.

    In this episode, we’ll cover:

    🧠 Why lying often comes from fear, guilt, or a wish to feel safe — not because your child is being “bad.”

    🎭 How pretend play, fantasy, and imagination blur the line between truth and “wish” for kids.

    📖 Gentle, kid-friendly stories that show how lying is usually a signal of a deeper need — like connection or independence.

    🤗 A heartwarming example of a grown-up responding with empathy, making space for honesty and emotional safety.

    🎯 A simple challenge to help your child notice those truth-telling moments and feel proud of their bravery.

    Listening together will help your child feel more confident about telling the truth — and help you respond with curiosity instead of punishment, building trust and connection in the process. 💖👂

    May 28 2025

    🤝 Making new friends & staying connected with old ones — smart ways to keep friendships strong, near or far.

    😟 Common worries kids have about moving — like fitting in, missing old friends, or adjusting to new teachers.

    💬 What can help! — gentle, practical tips for you to support your child through the change and keep communication open.

    🎯 A fun challenge to encourage your child to take the first step towards new friendships!
