Here at STK we’ve been educating parents, students, and educators about the dangers of social media for years.  And it’s been so cool to recently see a lot of state governments join the cause to help protect our children.  One of the states leading the charge against social media is our very own Utah! Utah recently started a initiative ad campaign to help educate parents about the dangers of social media.  Once I saw what was happening, I knew I needed to get someone from the governers office on the podcast to talk about this initiave, and boy did they come through! Everybody welcome  Aimee Winder Newton serves as a senior advisor to Governor Spencer Cox and director of the Office of Families. In this role she advocates for proactive policies to strengthen families in Utah

Navigating life as a parent of teens and tweens in this digital world is hard.  It’s messy.  And it didn’t come with instructions.  Today I’m bringing back a friend who is in the trenches with his own family, and trying to make a difference as well.  Everyone welcome my friend, Tanner Clark. Tanner is a professional speaker, husband, and most importantly, father to 4 awesome kids. As a parent in the trenches, he’s been spending his free time the last 4 years to speak to kids all over the nation to help them fix their focus, and use one second of strength to ditch social media and live up their potential

Save The Kids Ep. 160: One Second Of Courage with Tanner Clark

We all know how important reading is.  Kids who read are projected to be wildly more successful in life than those who don’t.  And it can be hard as a parent to try and push reading without making our kids hate it with a firey passion.  And our guest today can help us with that.  With a remarkable background as a former teacher, school psychologist, professor, and special education director, Dr. Joe Lockavitch is a true pioneer in the field of literacy education. He’s not just an educator; he’s the author and developer of groundbreaking programs like The Failure Free Reading Program. Dr. Joe’s passion for empowering students with chronic reading challenges has led him to train countless teachers, parents, and administrators nationwide
