272: Differently Wired Kids {Interview with Debbie Reber}

272: Differently Wired Kids {Interview with Debbie Reber}

Today millions of kids are stuck in a world that doesn't respect, support, or embrace who they really are—these are what Deborah Reber is calling the “differently wired” kids, the one in five children with ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger’s, giftedness, anxiety, sensory processing disorder, and other neurodifferences. Their challenges are many. But for the parents who love them, the challenges are just as hard—struggling to find the right school, the right therapist, the right parenting group while feeling isolated and harboring endless internal doubts about what’s normal, what’s not, and how to handle it all.     But now there’s hope. Written by Deborah Reber, a bestselling author and mother in the midst of an eye-opening journey with her son who is twice exceptional (he has ADHD, Asperger’s, and is highly gifted), Differently Wired is a how-to, a manifesto, a book of wise advice, and the best kind of been-there, done-that companion.     On the one hand it’s a book of saying NO, and how it’s time to say no to trying to fit your round-peg kid into society’s square holes, no to educational and social systems that don’t respect your child, noto the anxiety and fear that keep parents stuck. And then it’s a book of YES. By offering 18 paradigm shifts—what she calls “tilts”— Reber shows how to change everything. How to “Get Out of Isolation and Connect.” “Stop Fighting Who Your Child Is and Lean In.” “Let Go of What Others Think.” “Create a World Where Your Child Can Feel Secure.” “Find Your People (and Ditch the Rest).” “Help Your Kids Embrace Self-Discovery.” And through these alternative ways of being, discover how to stay open, pay attention, and become an exceptional parent to your exceptional child.   Debbie Reber www.tiltparenting.com   Teach Your Kid To Meditate Program www.teachyourkidtomeditate.com/program

255: Understanding the Female vs. Male Brain {Interview with Janet Allison}

255: Understanding the Female vs. Male Brain {Interview with Janet Allison}

After receiving her degree in Elementary Education from the University of Maine at Farmington, Janet Allison began her teaching career in a Waldorf School with a class of 10 boys and 2 girls. She quickly realized she had NOT been prepared for the differences in the way boys learn and the way girls learn. Through trial and error, extensive reading and research, and sheer determination, Janet was at last able to understand those parts of her boys that were hard-wired (and therefore unchangeable) and the things that she could change – by making lessons more active and interactive and providing plenty of outside time and movement in the classroom. With her many years of classroom experience, she is able to ‘talk the talk’ with teachers in both public and private schools – including those following Waldorf and Montessori principles.   Janet Allison  www.boysalive.com On Boys Podcast

248: To The Brave Ones {Inspired by Glennon Doyle Melton}

248: To The Brave Ones {Inspired by Glennon Doyle Melton}

Originally published on Glennon's Facebook page    To The Brave Ones, This is cruelly specific to you. No generation before you has ever faced anything like this: Students being shot and killed in classrooms while adults do nothing. What’s happening to you -- it has a new face -- but underneath? It’s oldest story known to humanity. It’s the story of evil born of greed. Because there are two kinds of evil. There is the visible evil This is the evil you see on the news. The evil that happens when a kid shoots up a school. That kind of evil is often sparked by illness, pain, circumstance, hopelessness. But we’re here today to talk about a different kind of evil: a behind the scenes kind of evil -- not the evil that led the shooter to pull the trigger -- but the evil that put a weapon of war in his hand. Brave ones, that kind evil is harder to see because it hides behind fancy suits and degrees and good arguments and slick smiles and fake patriotism. This kind of evil is born in boardrooms and private jets and golf courses and handshakes between powerful people who plan how to divide us. And it’s not complicated, Brave Ones, It’s born from nothing but old-fashioned greed. It’s born when the love of money and power trumps the love of people. It’s unleashed when power decides to sacrifice lives for money, and when they wrap their decision in the American flag, in the name of God, in the name freedom –- so we’ll smile and cheer while our deaths line their pockets. This kind of evil, Brave Ones, is not new – it’s when the greed of a few , in order to profit, strategizes to divide us and convince us to be afraid of each other. To convince us that we are against each other, when really these greedy few are only for themselves and We the People – We the People – who have been taught to fear each other, have the very same interests: our freedom, and our safety, and our children. Greed is powerful – always has been. But you know what’s even more powerful, Brave Ones? Courage. The story of our country is that humanity’s greed only reigns for so long – only until the people being sacrificed rise up and together say: ENOUGH. Like the abolitionists rose up. Like the suffragettes rose up. Like the freedom riders rose up. Like the Vietnam War protesters rose up. Like the civil rights heroes who marched with King rose up. And the civil rights heroes who knelt with Kapernick rose up. Like women all over the world rose up to say TIME’S UP because ME TOO and like the young gymnasts -- who joined arms and stood on that witness stand and shook with fury and conviction as they looked Larry Nassar dead in the eye and took him down together -- rose up. Like the Parkland Prophets rose up in the face of their own pain and with their passion and intolerance for hypocrisy awoke our entire nation. And Like YOU. LIKE THE AMERICAN STUDENTS OF 2018. Who -- on February 23 -- rose up together to say to power: “WE SEE YOU. Your greed is not patriotism. WE ARE THE PATRIOTS and we say: No country is free whose children are not free. “ YOU, who on February 23rd, became the BECAME THE LEADERS YOU WERE WAITING FOR. You are not alone as you make history today. You are taking your rightful place in the long line of American freedom fighters. You are staking your claim on the side of history that knows and has always known that the Power of Love Overcomes the Love of Power Everytime. History shows us again and again, Brave Ones, that the game is long but when love shows up LOVE WINS. On behalf of us parents, as you continue to rise and overcome the world’s greed with your love – I beg you, we beg you, to remember two things. FIRST: Please- as you rise- Honor each other’s humanity. Our generation got this wrong, Brave Ones. We demonize people and groups who think differently than we do. We pledge blind allegiance to tribe and party and turn up our noses and close our minds and hearts to each other. We reduce each other to headlines and clickbait. We allow power to keep us afraid of each other – arguing with each other so we’re too busy hating each other and loving our own self-righteousness to make any real change at all. We allow power to use the oldest trick in the book: Keep them afraid of each other so they don’t turn on us. And that’s why we failed you. This is why we haven’t kept you safe. Because we –as a generation -- decided that being right is more important than doing right. So, Brave Ones, decide differently. Don’t fear each other. Talk instead of tweet. Ask Questions. Be curious instead of judgmental. Seek first to understand. Listen to the kids whose parents have brainwashed them differently than your parents have brainwashed you. Fight bad policy instead of each other. Think beyond. Beyond party, beyond race, beyond gender, beyond sexuality, beyond tribe, beyond your parents, beyond Congress, beyond the Presidency…. YOU ARE THE GENERATION of BEYOND. The categories we’ve made for ourselves are killing us. Disregard all of them, and be humans among humans. When they tell you to fear each other, LOVE each other. And Second: Honor YOUR own humanity, Brave Ones. Rise and fight, Yes, but don’t forget to laugh and dance, too! It’s okay to be heartbroken and angry and it’s also okay not to be. Life is brutal, yes, but life is also beautiful, and the sun still shines, and art is still being made, and food is still delicious, and people are still AMAZING! Listen loves, in the face of fear and oppression and danger, Joy is the fiercest act of resistance. So as you fight for your lives, Brave Ones, don’t forget the things that make life so worth fighting for. Keep Marching, Yes, But dance while you march us into the future you are creating for all of us. So Brave Ones: Your parents are so proud of you. We are sorry that we didn’t protect you. We were confused until you rose. It all felt hopeless until you rose. But you have restored our hope and cleared our minds and strengthened our hearts. Your courage has helped us find our courage. And we will follow you and fight beside you until till we’re all free. Because you are the ones we’ve been waiting for, too. We love you.

“A simple life is not seeing how little we can get by with—that’s poverty—but how efficiently we can put first things first. . . . When you’re clear about your purpose and your priorities, you can painlessly discard whatever does not support these, whether it’s clutter in your cabinets or commitments on your calendar. (148)”  ― Victoria Moran, Lit From Within: Tending Your Soul For Lifelong Beauty   Interview with Marie Jackson  www.organizedmarie.com   "I created Organized Marie to help women live an organized life.  I’m a full-time working mom that knows first hand the struggles to stay organized. I’ve been organizing since I was a kid.  If I saw a space that wasn’t organized, I’d organize it almost immediately even if it wasn’t my home. Growing up, school was a huge struggle for me.  I had a learning disability and had to see a specialist from third grade to ninth grade.  In high school, I was in the math class a year behind my peers.  I was usually on the B honor roll, occasionally A.  It took a lot of work to get there.  There’s no way that wouldn’t have happened if I wasn’t organized. College came and that was ten times harder.  I remember getting my first D in one of my classes which had never happened to me before.  I had an anxiety attack.  I was playing soccer for the university and was terrified I’d become ineligible.  After meeting with my professor, we agreed to get me a tutor.  She really helped me bet back on track.  Throughout the rest of college, I had tutors, most of them were my teammates.  Playing soccer and going to college was hard.  I had to find time to work with my tutors.  All of this forced me to be organized beyond belief.  It helped control my anxiety.  Tests would always make me nervous but the more prepared I was, the less stressed I was.  I remember my freshman year on the soccer team, a few of my teammates thought I was a straight A student because of the amount of work and organization I did, I only wish! Throughout my working career being organized has lead me to successes.  It’s helped me stay consistent, persistent, and most importantly keep my stress level down. Now that I’m a mom, being organized is more important than ever.  You never know what your child might need.  You of course only learn this when you’re out somewhere and realize you don’t have what you need #momlife. What I’ve learned about organizing throughout my life is that it’s a journey, not a destination. Being organized has been so beneficial in my life and it can be really beneficial for you too.  Let’s go on this journey together because that’s my mission, helping you reduce stress and inspiring you to live an organized life."
