November 07, 2024 The Daycare Myth: Childcare vs Early Childhood Education with Dr. Dan Wuori
Daycare, childcare, or early education for young toddlers? What does it all mean and what should you be looking for when looking for child care providers?

In this episode I sit down with Dr. Dan Wuori to discuss his new book The Daycare Myth: What We Get Wrong About Early Care and Education (and What We Should Do About It). We discuss the real need for early education from a very young age and the current policies nationwide. This includes parents feeling overwhelmed with the cost of child care and underwhelmed with the care.
Dr. Dan Wuori is a career early educator and also the Founder and President of Early Childhood Policy Solutions, a public policy consultancy to the nation's governors and state lawmakers focused on the needs of children and families. Learn more here.

October 31, 2024 My Toddler Won't Say Thank You or I'm Sorry. What do I do?
Do you wish your toddler had better manners?

In this episode I share some insight on why trying to force kids say to thank you or sorry when they are not ready is not beneficial. I discuss that kids need emotional permission to process their feelings and say thank you or sorry when they are ready. I also offer up scripts you can use with your toddlers to encourage them to use their manners, in their own time.

Let's spread the word to other conscious parents and caregivers so we can all transform the toddler years together.
