Behavioral patterns are a strong determinant of one’s life and just like adults ensure to cultivate positive routines in their life, it is important that children do the same.

These can be patterns like what time to go to bed, how many hours you spend on your phone or where you place your keys or bag.

Once such patterns are nurtured at a young age, the likelihood of children practicing such patterns as they grow up is high.

Julie De-Lucca Collins shared her expertise on this subject in this episode. As a Holistic Business and Life Coach, Julie helps confused and overwhelmed women build and run a business, create the right strategy, habits, and daily action to be profitable and make a positive impact.

She shared with us in this episode how positive habits in children can influence their lives for the better.

The media we consume has a profound influence on how we see, understand, and treat people, both those within and different from our own race or ethnicity, and that is why representation is important.

It helps kids build their perspectives on their own ethnic-racial group, as well as that of others and because of that parents ought to encourage their kids to view media content that is diverse.

In this episode, I speak to Joshua Lorea who has championed the need for diversity in comic characters and representation in media by publishing his comic book Nahualli, Modern Aztec Heroes: Volume 1 to highlight people of color and their experiences.

LGBTQ+ people exist, they are in our families, workplaces, and schools and we can no longer ignore their presence.

Due to their classification, the majority face discrimination and this is not right because just like other people they have human rights.

In schools especially, there is a divide between teachers, school administration, and parents on whether issues surrounding LGBTQ+ should be taught to students.

Much as everyone is entitled to an opinion surrounding how they would want their children to be raised, it is important to be aware of the diversity in the world and for that case needs to be addressed and that is why Destiny Clarke, an LGBTQ+ Educational Consultant and former teacher who helps teachers, school leaders, and caregivers create communities of care for LGBTQ+ youth graced us with her point of view.

With schools focused on educating children to ensure they are excelling in their grades, they may tend to miss out on teaching them about bullying, which is important to create a safe learning environment.

I came to this realization after years of volunteering at schools and then selling my anti-bullying services to schools.

With the first step in most cases being reporting bullying incidents to the school, children need more in-depth education about bullying because when a child is victimized, parents need the help of educators to make sure bullying is addressed. Parents and school leaders need to ensure that the victim is kept safe and that other children have an understanding of how to treat others.

In this episode, I address;

A number of states in the U.S. have seen a surge in deadly street racing amidst the pandemic and some of the individuals involved are younger drivers.

Much as they participate in such an act for fun, due to the nature of their driving, accidents are bound to happen and death occurs.

Such deaths are very unfortunate because with the right measures in place, they would have been managed and this is what led Reina Jackson, a wife, and mother of six children to launch the AJ Project, Inc. in September 2021.

In May 2021, her firstborn child Ajanni passed away tragically in a car accident in which speed was a factor and Reina decided to use the AJ Project as a solution to this crisis which the U.S. Secretary of Transportation has recently declared a national crisis targeting young adults 13-21.

The AJ Project also shares the truth about the deadly dangers of Illegal Street Racing & Reckless Driving and also offers bereavement services to mothers & families.

I think that every parent has felt that way at one point or another. That’s why today, I’m introducing you to my dear colleague and parenting coach friend, Kristina Campos.

Kristina graduated from the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado, in 1999, and received her master’s degree from the University of Denver in 2019. After many years of teaching, Kristina saw a need to help children from the source - THE HOME!

With great enthusiasm, Kristina quit her teaching job and founded her organization “The Impactful Parent”.
