Every kid's sports event seems to have at least one of those parents in the stands. While it can be super easy to get passionate about your kid's sports, being the raging parent in the stands does way more harm than good. 

Today on Raising Heights with Zach and Tori Roloff we discuss the huge role sports played in bringing us together as a couple, the importance of sports for kids and the real purpose of kids' sports activities. Coaches and parents have a huge role to play in helping our kids find themselves, hone their skills and become more confident, driven individuals — we share our take on how to empower kids with love, support and play. 

⚽ How soccer brought us together and why it means so much to our family
⚽ Zach and Tori’s experience in sports (and why Tori stopped playing)
⚽ Why coaches (and parents) need to support both teams and just let kids play
⚽ The true value of kids' sports

Welcome back to Raising Heights with Zach and Tori Roloff. This week we’ll dive into some of our most important parenting philosophies, why they matter and how you can use what we’ve learned to help you on your own journey.

Instead of giving seven people with dwarfism the chance to play in the new Disney feature film Snow White, they settled with one — replacing six of the classic characters with CGI and animation. 

While opinions are all over the place on this one, we have some big thoughts — this is Raising Heights with Zach and Tori, and in this episode, we dive into everything Hollywood has wrong, how the film industry could bring light to dwarfism to empower people in the community and how other movies and shows are normalizing dwarfism the right way. 

We chat about:
🎬 Why the new Snow White movie shouldn’t happen (we’re boycotting)
🎬 The importance of normalizing dwarfism in film
🎬 Shows that do a great job bringing a realistic light to dwarfism
🎬 The full power of giving people with dwarfism on-screen roles

No matter your situation, parenting is HARD. But it’s something we love and find incredibly fulfilling. On this episode of Raising Heights with Zach and Tori, we scratch the surface of our experiences and thoughts around parenting.

In the unique situation of being a mixed-height couple with kids who all have dwarfism, we’re learning along the way. Often left out of milestone conversations and celebrated with extra enthusiasm, we talk about the best things you can do for yourself and your kids to help them find their purpose, learn and grow — all while feeling loved along the way.

On this episode we dive into:
✅ Not letting your diagnosis define you (or your kids)
✅ The reality of raising kids with dwarfism
✅ The biggest disservice that’s the easiest to fall into
✅ The importance of helping your kids find their purpose

Little People, Big World was a huge part of our lives — but it was time to walk away. The show brought us so many amazing opportunities, great memories and so much fun. But it also challenged us to set better boundaries with filming and our kids, cope with not-so-accurate depictions of our lives and face family difficulties. It was a great run, but we needed an adult in the room. And we made that move.

This is Raising Heights with Zach and Tori Roloff. We’re here today to celebrate the next big move in our lives and careers, and address the elephant in the room: why we chose to leave the show.

Join us as we unpack:
🎥 How we each got involved with Little People Big World
🎥 Our lives through the lens of reality TV — the good, bad and frustrating truths
🎥 The privilege (and responsibility) of being known
🎥 Best and worst parts of watching your life back
