  • FCV027: Don't be the Parent You Hate — Guest: Dr. Deborah Gilboa. M.D.
    We've all had those moments at the end of the day when the house is finally quiet and we wonder if we're becoming a stressed-out, humorless parent. We may play back recent scenes and ask ourselves, "Did I say anything but 'NO!' to my kids today?" If you are yelling a lot, but not helping your kids learn what you want to teach them, this podcast may be exactly what you need. Annie talks with Dr. G about her new book, Get the Behavior You Want Without Being the Parent You Hate, a strategic guide to effective parenting.

  • FCV026 Kids and Emotional Meltdowns, Dr. Beth Onufrak
    Young children have a hard time talking about emotions because we can't see our feelings. When we teach kids about shapes, for example, we can point to physical objects and name them and touch them. They begin to understand concepts like "circle" and "square" and recognize them on sight. But feelings just "emerge from within," says, clinical psychologist, Dr. Beth Onufrak. "Like a volcano or a tsunami. So it's difficult for young children to put words to those feelings." Annie talks with Dr. Beth about practical tips for supporting the emotional development of young children without yelling, so they can thrive.

  • FCV025 Accommodating Classrooms, Louise Masin Sattler
    Given reasonable accommodations, kids who are deaf, hard of hearing, and/or on the autism spectrum can succeed beautifully in mainstream classrooms. When those accommodations are handled in a respectful, "no big deal" way, kids are more likely to feel the warmth of inclusion from teachers and peers. That's going to greatly benefit the children with special needs as well as their classmates. Annie talks with school psychologist Louise Masin Sattler about inclusive classrooms and how to get there with practical back-to-school tips for parents and teachers.

  • FCV023 Encouraging Kids to Play, Janine Halloran
    Most of us assume that all children intuitively know how to play, so why would anyone need to encourage them to do what comes naturally? Because, some kids, just like some adults, are, by temperament, less social than others. And those are the ones who could greatly benefit from wise counsel and support from parents. Annie talks with Licensed Mental Health Counselor Janine Halloran about kids, playdates, and learning how to create and maintain friendships.

  • FCV022 Making Schools Safer for All Kids, Elizabeth J. Meyer
    Is homophobia and gender-based teasing and bullying just "part of being a teen?" Or is that attitude part of the problem rather than part of the solution? Elizabeth J. Meyer, Ph.D. was a high school teacher for five years. The peer harassment she observed at her school led to her researching the connection between harassment, sexism, and homophobia. Annie and Liz discuss ways parents and educators can effectively support targeted students while helping harassers understand why their behavior is unacceptable.
