    About this Episode

    Do you want to save your child from a lot of depression and anxiety? Dina Alexander, founder of Educate and Empower Kids, shares 3 tools for empowering our children who are growing up in a porn culture.  

    Research shows that pornography changes thought processes, inluding thoughts about other human beings.  It also affects decision making, conditions the brain that no means yes, and causes confusion about relationships, intimacy and sexuality.

    "Be Prepared, Not Scared" in talking about sex with our kids, delaying phones/social media, and teaching about dangers that exist online.

    Season 2, Episode 2: UnSelfie! with best-selling author and NBC Contributor, Dr. MIchele Borba, Ed.D

    Dr. Michele Borba, author of UnSelfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed in an All-About-Me World, explains that narcissism is up by 58% and empathy is down by 40% over the last two decades.

    How can we help our kids in a world that values "me" more than "we?" 

    The answers are surprisingly simple:  1- Teach empathy, 2- Practice empathy, and 3- Live empathy.  Dr. Borba shares small and simple ways we can do this in daily moments.  Her behavioral studies and examples in this book and in this interview give great hope that we can turn this around!

    Episode 16: How to Help a Child Struggling with a Learning Difference (Disability) with Robbie and Fifi Clayton from Learning Technics

    Episode 16: How to Help a Child Struggling with a Learning Difference (Disability) with Robbie and Fifi Clayton from Learning Technics

    Have you wondered if your child has a learning difference (disability)?  What if you knew it might just be a matter of how ipad/device scrolling has changed your child's eye tracking movements?  Many teachers, like myself, see the difference in how students now struggle with regular left to right reading and tracking patterns.  The program highlighted in this interview can help with this, and any other neurological processes that could possibly be getting in the way of your child's learning abilities.

    If you are discouraged or looking for possible ways to help your child, the mix of physiological and neurological therapy is one path that has helped countless students over the last 30 plus years.  

    It can be frustrating to have your child on a waiting list to get help with a neurologist psychologist or other specialist, let alone the time and expense this may take.

    There are many paths to helping a child with learning differences!

    In this interview, Robbie and Fifi Clayton of "Learning Technics" (learningtechnics.com), share the personal journey of their own child and how the success of this program led to her improcements and achievements, and getting her skills up to grade level.
