This is a friendly way of thinking about your parenting job as a whole. This task often boils down to two important questions:
1️⃣ What does my child's brain need to learn?
2️⃣ What can I teach this brain?
My book, Raising Brains is filled with useful and down-to-earth suggestions for gently answering these questions and then acting accordingly.

Season 3 Episode 1 flashback. ❤️ We’re almost at the one year mark of our wedding day. So what changed? Nothing & Everything! 👰♀️ 🤵♂️
Podcast link in comments! 🎧
People are sometimes perplexed by our somewhat unconventional living situation.
We're married but we still maintain our own households for the kids...(and maybe for ourselves too). But even we have our moments of doubt 🤣.

Who the heck are Fronnie and Amy G, anyway? 🧠
If you’re wondering what we’re talking about on our podcast each week, here is a breakdown of the main characters in our brains:
The Frontal Lobe (aka Fronnie), the thinker!
The Amygdala (Amy G Dala or Amy G), emotions!
The Hippocampus (Hip the Hippo), memories!
The Basal Ganglia (Mr BG), motor learning and routine!
You can read more about these characters and how they come into play by reading my book Raising Brains and my children’s book, Brainy Tales!

Parents of kiddos with 504s and IEPs 🍎 must take a more active roll in helping to build the skills our kids need to thrive and support our educators, and educators should be foccused on putting programs in place to help families. 💪

TEACHERS: What would you add to this?!
Let's define perfect. It's not realistic to be happy or for everything to go as planned 100% of the time.
In the same way that hiding from your problems is not going to resolve them, we need imperfection! We learn and grow from conflict, not by avoiding it!
(Brain rule, life rule: PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION)

Happy FIRST DAY of SUMMER teacher friends!!
UGH! Consequences. Do you struggle with this one too? Just like doing a job yourself, it may seem easier to step in and save the day but is that going to help kids build skills? What do you think, and how do you handle these "oops moments"?

It’s uncomfortable when they’re uncomfortable. Even with ADHD brains! Consequences are awkward. But that’s where the growth happens. Let them suffer consequences (and just hold your breath while you watch), the kids will be better for it.

Season 3: Episode 7 - Observations from our schools - they need our help!
Having spent quite a bit of time in schools, there is a pattern emerging and it's not a good one. In this episode we discuss our perspectives on what's going on in schools today and how we as parents can help address some of the issues faced by teachers and administrators. Also, anyone got a guy in Public Works....asking for a friend.

We’re married 💍 now, so Mr. B.G. has settled into his routine, Amy G. is nice and stable…mostly, and Fronnie can pivot wherever she needs to go. So what happened when Kev started talking about…living together?!” 🏠
The truth is that change--even good changes can be a difficult process. 😱 We become comfortable with what we’re used to.

One question I'm often asked by both parents and educators is, "How do I teach responsibility?" 🧐
🎁 Responsibility is about teaching the child to be accountable and follow through. When a child feels a sense of reward, specific pathways in the brain are stimulated and dopamine is released. Young kids learn with physical rewards like when potty training.
🫶 In order to stimulate this center of the brain for our older kids, they must feel intrinsically rewarded. In other words, the reward must be internal, like feeling proud, excited, or happy, not external, like receiving candy, atoy, or a sticker for doing a chore.

Hands-on or hands-off? What kind of parent are you?
Sometimes it’s easier to just do for our kids, whether it’s to help them get out of the door faster or simply because we don’t want to take the time to explain the proper way to do things. We want to fix the problem, maybe even to prevent a mistake by overcorrecting but when we do this we rob kids of a growth opportunity.
We see this even from an admin perspective in our schools. Working with kids without fully formed frontal lobes (Fronnie) won’t understand what they’re doing wrong unless they experience an uncomfortable emotion (Amy G). These consequences serve as a catalyst for making a change so they don’t make the mistake next time.

My daughter planned our trip to MEXICO! 🇲🇽
She learned so much in the proccess including how to brain-storm and problem solve. And think about it--aren't you more invested in planning a trip you know you're going to get to take? 💃
When usually kids are just along for the ride, taking the reigns can be an exciting thing while also being a great opportunity for growth. 💪

Anyone’s Amy G can make an appearance at anytime…sometimes 🧐Fronnie just isn’t around to help out. But that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. Building strong foundations in your relationships makes those moments when Amy G 😫appears out of nowhere a little easier for everyone to handle.

🌠 As parents we all wish we could wave a magic wand 🧞 and fix all of our kids' problems but that's not realistic. We all experience loss, failure, disappointment and setbacks. It's just a part of life. 🫶
Teaching our kids to cope when life is hard is one of the most important skills we can teach them. 💪

💡
Becoming self aware gives us the ability recognize how others trigger our emotions (positive and negative). From here we can learn to modify our behavior in light of this information.
🌿
When we understand ourselves we get to choose how we want to respond and behave (leading with our Fronnie)! We’re not bound by that Amy G reaction.
