| 6/8/26 | How correcting clubfoot improves the lives of kids with Daphne Sorensen | Send us Fan Mail I have spent decades trying to help kids thrive. Unfortunately, the adversities children and youth face are varied and persistent, and the victories over them are few and far between. Consequently, when I encounter an intervention that dramatically improves the lives of kids efficiently and universally, I get excited because we all need a win sometimes. MiracleFeet provides technical and financial support to a network of local partners in 38 countries to provide best-in-class... | 37m 43s | ||||||
| 6/1/26 | How executive functioning coaches help neurodivergent kids with Norrine Russell | Send us Fan Mail Interest in executive functioning coaches for neurodivergent kids has grown considerably over the last five years, which is both exciting and worrisome. It is exciting because coaches promise to help students plan, organize, focus, and manage their emotions and tasks. It is worrisome because there are no degree, training, or licensing requirements to be an executive functioning coach. To help me parse this and to gain a better understanding of executive functioning coaches, h... | 36m 25s | ||||||
| 5/25/26 | Memorial Day Episode: Poppies for remembrance | Send us Fan Mail In this mini Memorial Day episode, I look at poppies as a symbol of remembrance that you can share with the kids in your life. A link to “In Flanders Fields” by John McCrae is at talkingaboutkids.com. Full-length Talking About Kids episodes return next week (June 1, 2026). | 4m 06s | ||||||
| 5/18/26 | How homeopathy can help families with Marcus Fernandez | Send us Fan Mail The science is clear: A one-size-fits-all approach to education or mental health does not work. But what about physical health? I am hearing more and more parents complain about the healthcare their children receive. At the same time, I am being overwhelmed with ads for potions, diets and supplements that promise to cure everything instantly. This is why I was eager to speak with Marcus Fernandez. Marcus has spent three decades advocating for preventative, homeostatic approac... | 51m 21s | ||||||
| 5/11/26 | How storytelling builds resilience in kids with Candace Lee and Eric Newman | Send us Fan Mail The children’s middle grade action and adventure novel, George Goodwin, Dragon Slayer: A Scouting Legend, was written by long-term collaborators Candace Lee and Eric Newman. Bringing it to fruition was an act of resilience, so it is not surprising that resilience is theme in the book and a skill the authors hope the book fosters in its readers. Candace, Eric, and I discuss this, the importance of scouting and exploration, and the depth of the world they created. More informat... | 35m 25s | ||||||
| 5/4/26 | What quality out-of-school-time programming does for kids with Kevin Cripe | Send us Fan Mail Kevin Cripe changed the culture of his under-resourced school in Modesto, California, with an afterschool program devoted to…chess. Kevin and I discuss his motivation for starting the program, how he did it, and, importantly, why he chose chess. I believe the lessons Kevin learned in the process can benefit all out-of-school time (OST) programs. More information about Kevin – including information on his books, how to engage him as speaker, and a picture of one his many chess... | 37m 12s | ||||||
| 4/27/26 | Why we need to rethink how we teach grammar with Patty McGee | Send us Fan Mail Grammar. If the thought of it makes you anxious, you are not alone. My guest this episode, Patty McGee, wants to change that by changing how we teach the subject. The pedagogy that she prescribes in her excellent book, Not Your Granny’s Grammar, is not necessarily new (Patty bases her recommendations on evidence-informed practices). However, solid pedagogy, like Patty’s, is rarely applied to subject of grammar. Patty and I discuss this, her book, and tips for reducing grammar... | 32m 56s | ||||||
| 4/20/26 | What you need to know about trends in childcare affordability with Meghan Salas Atwell | Send us Fan Mail If we want to improve the economy, if we want to make the population healthier, or even if we want to reduce the deficit, leading economists tell us that we should invest in early childhood development. Unfortunately, the opposite is happening, and, as new research from National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) reveals, childcare providers are feeling pinched. My guest to discuss NAEYC’s most recent Early Childhood Education (ECE) Workforce Survey is NA... | 30m 39s | ||||||
| 4/13/26 | How to redefine childcare practices with Antoinette Elliott | Send us Fan Mail When it comes to programs and services for children and families, researchers and practitioners should work hand-in-hand: research should guide practice and, in turn, study what is working to inform the rest of the field. By all accounts, All Our Children Elite Childcare Academy, the beloved program founded by Antoinette Elliott, exemplifies this relationship. Antoinette incorporated best practices and input from expert consultants in the design of the academy, but, as you wi... | 38m 52s | ||||||
| 4/6/26 | Why independent tutoring and assessment might benefit your neurodivergent kid with Kait Feriante | Send us Fan Mail The research is conclusive: strong public education systems benefit individuals, communities, and, ultimately, society in myriad ways. Unfortunately, public education systems across the U.S.A. are facing pressures that, some believe, impede them from providing all the services that kids, and neurodivergent kids in particular, need. My guest this episode, Kait Feriante, supports public education, but she has seen too many kids with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia fall th... | 40m 05s | ||||||

| 3/23/26 | How to bring dignity and hope to youth in foster care with Rob Scheer | Send us Fan Mail The black garbage bag. You may or may not know its significance in the foster care system. Either way, my guest this episode will inspire you. Among other things, Rob Scheer is the author of A Forever Family: Fostering Change One Child at a Time and the founder of Comfort Cases, a nonprofit with the #BAGBUSTERS rallying cry and the mission to “inspire communities to bring dignity and hope to youth in foster care.” My hope is that you will never look at a black garbage bag the... | 34m 44s | ||||||
| 3/16/26 | How to know when you need an attorney to advocate for your kid with Paula Yost | Send us Fan Mail As we have discussed in previous episodes, trained advocates can help protect the rights of kids in IEP meetings and other legal proceedings. Unfortunately, there are times when additional help is required, times when a lawyer is needed. My guest this episode is Paula Yost. Paula is an attorney who is committed to, what she calls, “legal social work,” which is advocating for kids at the intersection of law and education or social service. Paula and I discuss her role, what yo... | 38m 34s | ||||||
| 3/9/26 | What you need to know about the IEP process with Vicki Christensen | Send us Fan Mail Do you have questions about the IEP process or even what an IEP is? You are not alone. Thankfully, my guest this episode can help. Vicki Christensen is an experienced, certified IEP advocate. As she describes in her forthcoming book – Uniquely, Fully, Enough: The Neurodivergent Parenting Journey, a Memoir and Handbook – Vicki has seen it all as a parent and as a professional. She and I discuss some of what she has learned and how you can apply the lessons to the kids in your ... | 41m 30s | ||||||
| 3/2/26 | How to help neurodivergent kids succeed in college with Tara Williams | Send us Fan Mail The challenges of transitioning from high school to college are difficult for everyone. For neurodivergent kids, these challenges can be overwhelming. My guest this episode is Tara Williams, owner and founder of Innovative Collegiate Consultants. As you will hear, Tara believes that by selecting the right school, connecting with the right services, and getting the right executive function coaching, neurodivergent students can do more than survive the transition: they ca... | 37m 14s | ||||||
| 2/23/26 | What you can learn from summer camps to benefit the kids in your life with Matthew Kaufman | Send us Fan Mail There are summer camp fanatics, individuals who attribute their best qualities to the counselors they had, the songs they sang, the skits they performed, and the friendships they made in mosquito-infested cabins in the woods near a lake. My guest this episode, Matthew Kaufman, is one such individual. Matt attended summer camp, was a counselor, and, eventually, became a camp director. But he did not stop there. Matt sought to understand the science behind the positive experien... | 35m 41s | ||||||
| 2/16/26 | How a positive financial mindset benefits kids with Darla Bishop | Send us Fan Mail Darla Bishop likes to talk about a family’s relationship with money, like money is a person. The more I listened to her and thought about it, the more I recognized the parallels. A negative relationship with money, like negative interpersonal relationships, creates anxiety and fear, but a positive relationship is associated with health and longevity. In this episode, Darla and I discuss this and her ideas for improving kids’ relationships with money. More information about Da... | 36m 15s | ||||||
| 2/9/26 | How communities can promote child oral health with Shelly Buckholz | Send us Fan Mail The guest for Talking About Kids’ second episode of National Children’s Dental Health Month is Shelly Buckholz.

| 2/2/26 | Why children’s oral health is a public health concern with David Krol | Send us Fan Mail February is National Children’s Dental Health Month. To kick it off, I asked David Krol on the podcast to provide an overview of children’s oral health. David is former Chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Oral Health; the lead author of AAP's clinical report, Maintaining and Improving the Oral Health of Young Children; and an eloquent and passionate advocate for children’s oral health. In other words, the ideal Talking About Kids guest. More information abo... | 43m 21s | ||||||
| 1/26/26 | How grandparents play a crucial role in supporting kids with autism with Theresa Lyons | Send us Fan Mail Autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning that it is a defined by a variety of conditions that, themselves, may exist on continuums. This can make it difficult…and anxiety provoking…for parents of kids with autism spectrum disorder and their care teams to find the optimal combination of interventions. Thankfully, there are sources like, Theresa Lyons’s Navigating AWEtism websites, that critically review the latest research, unpack jargon, and debunk the myths and fad treatments.... | 42m 26s | ||||||
| 1/19/26 | Holiday Break Episode 5: What the poetry of Audre Lorde can teach us about kids | Send us Fan Mail In honor of Audre Lorde’s 1985 essay, "Poetry Is Not a Luxury," I devoted the mini Holiday Break episodes of Talking About Kids to poetry about the holiday season and issues related to kids. For this final mini episode, I read a poem by Lorde, titled “Hanging Fire,” which is an honest and moving portrayal of adolescence. A link to the poem is at talkingaboutkids.com. | 4m 00s | ||||||
| 1/12/26 | Holiday Break Episode 4: What the poetry of Robert Frost can teach us about kids | Send us Fan Mail I am devoting the mini Holiday Break episodes of Talking About Kids to poetry about the holiday season and issues related to kids. In this fourth mini episode, I read a classic: “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost. I am sure it is familiar to you, but, as you listen, please consider whether the narrator is finding emotional regulation in the moment being described. A link to the poem is at talkingaboutkids.com. | 3m 45s | ||||||
| 1/5/26 | Holiday Break Episode 3: What the poetry of Joy Harjo can teach us about kids | Send us Fan Mail I am devoting the mini Holiday Break episodes of Talking About Kids to poetry about the holiday season and issues related to kids.

A link to the poem is at talkingaboutkids.com. | 5m 03s | ||||||
| 12/29/25 | Holiday Break Episode 2: What the poetry of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow can teach us about kids | Send us Fan Mail I am devoting these mini Holiday Break episodes of Talking About Kids to poetry about the holiday season and issues related to kids. In this second mini episode, I will read “Christmas Bells” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. In it, Longfellow struggles to reconcile the feelings of peace and goodwill associated with the Holiday season with the American Civil War, which was waging at that time. That struggle seems relevant today. A link to the poem is at talkingaboutkids.com. | 4m 36s | ||||||
| 12/22/25 | Holiday Break Episode 1: What the poetry of Edgar Guest can teach us about kids | Send us Fan Mail In her 1985 essay, "Poetry Is Not a Luxury," Audre Lorde argues that poetry gives form to ideas that are "formless" but none-the-less "felt," ideas that precede "understanding." I have always believed that Lorde is describing, among other things, historic and childhood trauma. In honor of this, I am devoting these mini Holiday Break episodes of Talking About Kids to poetry about the holiday season and issues related to kids. In this first episode, I will read Edgar Guest's po... | 5m 06s | ||||||
