| 5/10/26 | #25: Stress, Anxiety and Learning. Finding a Path to Competence & Success | CLICK HERE to get your FREE Parents Survival Guide and Good Choices Downloads and Booklets! Grades can turn school into a daily stress test for both kids and parents. We take a different angle: real education is not about stuffing a head with facts or performing on one big exam, it is about building competence that shows up in life. We talk about why memorising for tests is often the least important reason to learn, and how that belief quietly fuels anxiety, power struggles, and the feeling t... | 20m 51s | ||||||

| 3/22/26 | 23: How To Help A Teen Find Purpose By Mastering The Basics | CLICK HERE to get your FREE Parents Survival Guide and Good Choices Downloads and Booklets! A teen can be polite, non-rebellious, and still be drifting toward a dead stop. No goals, no interest in college or trade school, no desire to work, and no clear sense of purpose. We dig into a surprising root cause that hides in plain sight: they may have never experienced real mastery, especially the kind that comes from reading with full understanding. When learning has always felt confusing, motiva... | 20m 05s | ||||||
| 3/8/26 | 22: Teach Children To Observe, Decide, And Act For A Happier Life | CLICK HERE to get your FREE Parents Survival Guide and Good Choices Downloads and Booklets! What if the fastest way to help your child thrive is to slow everything down? We walk through a simple framework—observe, decide, act—that turns everyday hiccups into quiet masterclasses in judgment, confidence, and real-life skills. Instead of punishing mistakes or rushing to fix them, we show how to coach calm attention, invite better choices, and support follow-through so kids feel capable and proud... | 21m 14s | ||||||
| 3/1/26 | 21: Why Kids Struggle In School & How to Fix It | CLICK HERE to get your FREE Parents Survival Guide and Good Choices Downloads and Booklets! When a child brings home A’s but skips class, or melts down when math comes out, something deeper is going on. We dig into why two very different patterns—low grades and high‑risk behavior—can spring from the same broken learning process, and how a simple framework helps parents turn confusion into capability. We start by redefining what “struggling in school” really means. Mike draws on 35 years of w... | 17m 29s | ||||||
| 2/22/26 | 20: Rethinking Labels In Education | CLICK HERE to get your FREE Parents Survival Guide and Good Choices Downloads and Booklets! Ever feel like a label replaced a lesson? We take a hard look at “arbitraries”—opinions and judgments dropped into the learning process without reason—and show how they quietly turn real educational problems into medicalized stories. From glossy assessments to trending diagnoses, we trace how false solutions enter classrooms, reshape expectations, and nudge parents toward treatments that do not teach. ... | 22m 17s | ||||||
| 2/15/26 | 19: Rethinking ADHD And Dyslexia Through The Simple Power Of Words | CLICK HERE to get your FREE Parents Survival Guide and Good Choices Downloads and Booklets! A fast-food billboard shouldn’t be a study lesson, but “Welcome to delicious” says a lot about how language really works—and why so many teens feel lost when textbooks, teachers, and everyday speech don’t match. We dig into that gap with Mike, exploring how creative phrasing can be both inspiring and misleading, and we show parents how to turn confusion into confidence without leaning on empty labels. ... | 23m 48s | ||||||
| 2/8/26 | 18: Why Kids Feel Sick Of or From Studying | CLICK HERE to get your FREE Parents Survival Guide and Good Choices Downloads and Booklets! Ever watch a kid wake up queasy on school days but bounce back on weekends? We dig into a counterintuitive truth: sometimes the “sick” feeling isn’t a virus or avoidance—it’s the body’s response to information overload when lessons stack up without any hands-on anchor. Mike and I share why even high-performing students can feel dizzy, nauseous, or headachy while genuinely understanding the material, an... | 23m 28s | ||||||
| 2/1/26 | 17: How Small Learning Gaps Can Boil Over Into Tantrums & Trouble | Click Here to get your FREE Parents Survival Guide and Good Choices Downloads and Booklets! Ever wondered why a calm afternoon can explode into a full-blown tantrum? We pull back the curtain on what’s really driving those blowups and show how small, fixable issues—skipped steps, unclear words, and mismatched levels—can snowball into big emotions. Through Nicole’s journey, you’ll hear how moving a child up too quickly in swim class and limiting her to a tiny book selection at the YMCA quietly ... | 24m 43s | ||||||
| 1/18/26 | 16: Solve Dyslexia With Simple Educational Steps | Click Here to get your FREE Parents Survival Guide and Good Choices Downloads and Booklets! What if dyslexia isn’t a life sentence but a familiarity gap you can close with a simple plan? We dig into the practical side of helping kids and teens read with confidence by focusing on what actually trips them up: a small set of letter-sound patterns and the sequence they learn them in. With 26 letters and a finite group of common letter combinations, reading becomes less of a mystery and more of a ... | 18m 04s | ||||||

| 1/11/26 | 15: Why Misbehavior Often Starts With Misunderstanding | Click Here to get your FREE Parents Survival Guide and Good Choices Downloads and Booklets! If school feels like a daily battlefield at home, there’s a deeper cause most families miss: confusion masquerading as misbehavior. We pull apart how unclear words, shaky reading skills, and assumed “basics” create stress that kids eventually fight—by checking out, acting up, or hiding behind test tricks that raise grades but kill understanding. We start by mapping the hidden influences beyond home—te... | 23m 07s | ||||||

Not with lectures or guilt, but with practical tools, safer conversations, and a shared set of principles the whole family can use. To make this rea... | 24m 15s | ||||||

Drawing on personal stories and practical tools, we map a path parents can use to make their kids “bulletproof” by restoring control over study, connecting... | 23m 07s | ||||||
