Preparing Kids 4 Life Podcast: Recent Episodes
Daniel & Vicki Hagadorn
Everywhere you turn, the world is saying that you don't have what it takes to be a parent. That you're going to mess your kids up. That you're not "qualified" enough. At PK4L, we beg to differ.
Our mission is to remind parents that they're already the number one expert on their own children. All they need is the mindset. Let us show you how.
Parenting is truly the toughest job you'll ever love…but it's also a journey. And without a map, it's easy to get lost. So, just think of us as your personal outfitters, guides, and allies for the road ahead. Your journey awaits!
In response to A LOT of questions from concerned parents, this podcast series will delve into both the purpose and the results produced by America's public school system. In this third episode, we discuss some of the other influential figures who used the public school system to promote the designed destruction of children's minds.

According to current estimates, there are 400,000 children in foster care in the United States. They range in age from infants to 21 years old (in some states), but the average age of a child in foster care is 8+ years old, and there are slightly more boys than girls. Sadly, although a the foster care system does a great deal of good...it owes its existence to family tragedy.
I'm so honored to be interviewing Katie Tudor, LMSW who brings her expertise to this second of a two-part interview as we discuss:
- Aside from the obvious (become a foster parent) what other ways can someone become involved?
- What are the actual steps to becoming a foster parent?
- Do you have any "hacks" to make the process smoother?

I'm honored to be continuing my interview with Attila Horvath. He is the father of four, an engineer, and an author whose insights will probably cause you to respond (at least once) with, "I never looked at it that way." Our discussion goes through a wide range of topics based around parenting. In this episode we explore the importance of focusing more on what we (parents) need to re-learn than what our children need to learn...in order to bring out the best in them.

Since our children ultimately follow our example (not our advice) we need to carefully consider the example we are setting. Is it one that we want our children to follow? While no one's perfect, and our children don't expect us to be, what if we just took an honest look at our parenting and without guilt-tripping ourselves, addressed whatever those issues are so our children don't have to? What a difference that would make...

This is our final episode discussing some of the issues raised in Anthony Esolen's brilliantly insightful book, Ten Ways To Destroy The Imagination Of Your Child (Wilmington, DE: ISI Books, 2010). You can click here to check it out.
Professor Esolen has managed to write one of the truest, saddest, and funniest books on education that I have read in a long time. His incisive analysis of play dates, "helicopter parenting," No Child Left Behind, video games, and political correctness (to name just a few) is so spot on that it forces you to laugh…or risk crying instead.
Method 10: "Deny the transcendent" which Esolen subtitles, "Fix above the heads of men the lowest ceiling of all."

The tragedy of our foster care system is a sobering reality and this episode will discuss two key observations...
- The foster care system and the people who work inside it, the parents, and especially the children...desperately need our prayers and and anything that we can do to support them.
- This situation demonstrates in painful, agonizing detail the importance of becoming the parents that God intends us to be...which ultimately means that we are willing to deal with any wounds from our past that could prevent us from helping our kids experience their best life.

HENRY DAVID THOREAU (1817-1862) | "There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root."
Thoreau is saying here that people typically address a problem by focusing on the "branches" while ignoring the "root." So...this episode is going focus on the roots of the problem, how they have damaged the family unit, and what to do about it.
We need to remember that Fatherhood + Motherhood is absolutely critical to creating an emotionally safe environment in which children can thrive.

According to the most recent findings issued by the U.S. Department of Education (2016), approximately 1,770,000 students are homeschooled in the United States, or 3.4% of the school-age population.

The conclusion of our three-part conversation on identity and confidence. While the complexity of human beings will never fit neatly into four categories, there are endless degrees of variation within each of the personality types. It’s really just the starting point for discovering who we are. If this sounds a bit confusing, perhaps it would be easier to think of the personality types as a "language." Therefore, the more "fluent" a parent becomes in their child’s "language", the better they will communicate.
