Progressive Parenting Project

Hello Sweet Loves! I interviewed my neighbor Joslyn, and we spoke about her work as a professional researcher (wow, so cool, interesting, & impressive! to me at least lol), interspersed with her own personal experiences raising two wonderful children whom I have the privilege of knowing (and caring for) as well! Our conversation fascinated me, and of course there's some humor and heartfelt moments mixed in too! We talked about our usual four topics (Body Image, Gender, Growth Mindset, & Media Literacy), along with her military background, and a bunch of other compelling information to which I hope you'll enjoy listening. I'm so grateful that you're here, and would love to connect and help improve the world together. :) 🤍

Hey everybody, welcome to the third and final part of our amazing discussion! In this segment, we talk about Masculinity and Media Literacy as the title suggests, along with some surprises thrown in towards the end. :D

Last episode, we spoke about Craig's transition from Montessori to different schooling types, and in the first part, we cover his and Jennifer's backgrounds, Montessori basics, and Craig's experience as a student of it. :)

I hope you enjoy listening to our whole conversation, and have fun laughing, learning, and growing with us! 💖

Love, T.J. 🪻🦋

Hi, everybody! I had an amazing conversation with a Montessori school founder named Jennifer and her son Craig that I'm super duper excited to share with you! 


I divided our discussion into 3 parts, and this first part covers their backgrounds, our interpretations of Progressive Parenting, the basics of the Montessori Method, and Craig's experience as a student of it. 


In the next part, we'll talk about his transition to other educational styles, his family's diverse interests, Growth Mindset, and how his mom's bellydancing influenced her Body Image.


In the last part, we mainly delve into his unconventional Masculinity, and the concept of Media Literacy as Critical Thinking, along with a bit of advice and a few surprises to shake things up! 


I loved this experience so much, so I hope you enjoy listening to it, and find it beneficial! :D

Love, T.J.


P.S. Jennifer's school (that Craig attended) is called The Children's Place, and it's located in Torrance, CA, if you're interested in looking further into it, or supporting them in any way. ♥️

Hi Sweethearties, I'm so excited for you to learn from the Rogers family in our very first interview! We recorded this even before my introductory episode, so this truly is our brave, beautiful beginning! In this conversation, we discuss intuitive eating, gender stereotypes, growth mindset, gifted child syndrome, and the shifting dynamics of an expanding family, among other interesting topics. We recorded this on May 5th, 2024, and their new baby boy was born 5 and a half weeks later on June 12th! I'm so grateful they were able to do this before their lives became even more chaotic, and I hope you find our interaction as intriguing and entertaining as I do. You'll hear the title in this episode, as well as the full version, which is my favorite quote from our discussion: "Kids are just little adults, and adults are just big kids." I wholeheartedly believe we're the same in so many ways, and I hope that idea resonates with you as well. Alrighty, I wish you an enjoyable listening journey! :D
