Parenting 101 Plus

Join Paul W. Reeves, Ed.D - a longtime teacher and school principal, and the father of three children - and his guests, as they discuss the world of parenting your children, from birth through age 100! Also included are excerpts and discussions of Paul's parenting book, "A PRINCIPAL'S FAMILY PRINCIPLES - Raising Your Kids to Be Happy and Healthy, While Enjoying Them to the Fullest".

On today's show, in addition to reading the chapter, "Final Vacation?" from his book, sharing wisdom from others, and a bit of humor, Paul played Part 2 of his interview with CHRISTIE THOMAS.

CHRISTIE THOMAS, a Christian homeschool mom of 3 boys who LOVES to talk about all things parenting and faith, and a children's book author from Edmonton, Alberta in Canada, will join us to discuss growing in the fruit of the Spirit, and how to inspire and teach your family to love Jesus! We will also discuss all of her books, including her most recent release, "Fruit Full - 100 Family experiences for growing in the Fruit of the Spirit", as well as all that she has to offer through her website, "Little Shoots Deep Roots".

FROM HER WEBSITE:

"You want to pass on your faith, but...If you're honest, you aren't entirely sure you believe (or remember) all that stuff from Sunday School.

It seems like there are too many things to teach, and you wish your husband would just take over and do it. 

You know your kids need to know and love God, but you struggle with integrating faith conversations consistently and you're afraid you'll just mess your kids up if you do it wrong.

​So you're caught in the tension: you want to teach your kids about God and the Bible, but you don't want to feel like a hypocrite or feel like you're not doing enough...so you let it fall through the cracks.

You're in the right place.

I believe that EVERY Christian mom can confidently nurture deep faith roots in her kids through tiny habits that add up over time.

I believe that you are called to share the love of Jesus with your kids, whether or not your husband is involved. I believe that the easiest way to do this is to cultivate tiny, consistent habits that add up over time. These tiny habits will grow like roots in your family, and they allow you to be more creative and go deeper with your kids as you develop confidence in God's faithfulness and in your leadership skills."

On today's show, in addition to reading the chapter, "Happy Birthday to .......ME!!" from his book, sharing wisdom from others, a bit of humor, and Paul played Part 2 of his interview with DR. CHRISTINE KO.

DR, CHRISTINE KO, a Physician, Dermatologist, Author, and Yale Professor from Connecticut, will join us to discuss her work with patients, as well as her newest release, "How to Improve Doctor-Patient Connection: Using Psychology to Optimize Healthcare Interactions".

FROM HER WEBSITE:

Christine J. Ko, MD is a Professor of Dermatology and Pathology at Yale University. She is board certified in dermatology with a specialty certificate in dermatopathology. Her research interests include squamous cell carcinoma and keratoacanthoma as well as clinicopathologic correlation of skin disease. Dr. Ko received her AB at Princeton University and MD from New York University School of Medicine. She completed her internship in internal medicine at UCLA, her dermatology residency at University of California, Irvine, and her dermatopathology fellowship at UCLA. She has published numerous articles and chapters in dermatology and dermatopathology and is the creative mind behind Dermatology: Visual Recognition and Case Reviews and Dermatopathology: Diagnosis by First Impression. As an authority in dermatology, she has authored chapters on the skin in Goldman-Cecil Medicine, Brenner and Rector’s The Kidney, and Braunwald’s Heart Disease.

Her first book for the general audience, How to Improve Doctor-Patient Connection: Using Psychology to Optimize Healthcare Interactions, was inspired and driven by her own experience as the mother of a patient whose condition went undiagnosed for longer than it should have.

When I was a teenager, my grandfather was hospitalized for a short time as a terminal patient. I remember being tasked with suctioning the phlegm from his lungs with a special cannula. That brief experience gave me a sense of the power of healthcare, reinforcing my career goal of being a doctor. Much later, as a medical student and then fully-minted MD, the in-hospital battle waged against death combined with the knowledge of its ultimate inevitability, created the first stirrings of existential confusion – Was what I did enough? Did what I do matter? The answers can be simple and complicated at the same time, a truth known to anyone who interacts with toddlers and their Whys. 

Regarding kids, I am a changed (and better) person through being a mom, and though that role raises more existential questions than ever before, I am graced with that identity by two little ones (no matter how big they are!).

On today's show, in addition to reading the chapter, "10 Parenting Tips" (times 6-10) from his book, sharing wisdom from others, a bit of humor, and Paul played Part 2 of his interview with SASHA MOROZOV.

SASHA MOROZOV, a giver, a wife, a mother, and a life coach for working moms from California, will join us to tell us about her work with new and expectant mothers, as well as her 4-step process for "Self, Home, Relationships, and Systems to help moms hit start on the life they’ve put on pause". 

FROM HER WEBSITE:

"Even though my life looked great from the outside, I wanted more and I was sick of running around all day, cleaning up after the kids, making dinner and, if I’m lucky, not passing out right after finally getting the kids to bed.

Then something started to shift. The more I focused on having peace in the home, creating schedules and routines, the happier and freer I felt. The more I let go of things, the lighter I felt. The more I worked to be intentional about what was in my space the more I enjoyed my family.

After feeling more aligned with my home I started working on my relationships and habits. I saw firsthand what a difference being ahead of the to-do list looked like. I started to work with my partner and kids and I stopped feeling that I had to hold all the cards by myself. Whatever my excuse was before, slowly, over time, I started to mentally and physically surround myself with things I loved and habits I wanted.

That’s when I felt that I was able to start focusing on myself, my dreams and my aspirations. I wasn’t burnt out any more and I wasn’t feeling “lost.” Most of all, I started to feel like myself again and that’s more than I can say for a lot of people in this world. I now get to choose how I create my life and you can bet that I’m creating it the way I want it to be."
