Home schooling started to take off in the 80’s and 90’s but since then it has become a mainstream option. Homeschooled kids have the same access to online learning, friendships, and extracurricular activities as the typical public school student — but without many of the drawbacks, like standardized lesson plans and bullying. Making the decision to home school your child is very important . Home Schooling requires a lot of planning, routines and scheduling. Joining me on my podcast is Emma Peshek who was home schooled and she talks about the advantages and how it shaped her life!

Last episode we recommended allowing your children to try different sports.
I spent some time with one of our producers at Pod Populi, Christian Porrello, who has experience with teaching kids boxing to learn more about this sport!
Boxing for kids isn't just a physical activity. This sport is a martial art and has many key benefits for children and young adults.
Some of the benefits include confidence, fitness, self defense, humility, patience and community.
Done safely, youth boxers gain life skills that will continue to motivate them throughout their lives!
Sports Specialization - Year-round training (greater than 8 months) to focus on a single sport at the exclusion of other sports, has increasingly become a common practice for those wanting to successfully compete at elite levels, often at the potential risk of their short and long-term health

I love summer and fun in the sun. What I don’t love is sunburns, especially when it comes to our little ones. As a pediatrician I get lots of questions about how to protect babies and children from the sun. So let’s have fun talking about what you can do!
Between 30 - 40 % of households have firearms, how do we keep our childrens safe from gun deaths, and teens safe from suicide by firearms? Owning a firearm, whether for target shooting, hunting or personal protection, comes with an ongoing commitment to safety and responsibility. Following safety guidelines can help you be a responsible firearms owner by following the many laws regarding purchasing, ownership, storage and use.
We need to create a culture of firearms safety, awareness of mental health and ongoing discussion of gun violence for the safety of our children...and our community.
- We owe this to the children in that classroom in Uvalde, Texas and to the many others who have suffered due to accidental firearms deaths, gun violence and suicide.

In this special live audience episode, Alex DeYoung joins me, she is a mom of two boys -age 17 months and 8 weeks!
Introducing and raising siblings is the trickiest balancing act for parents. There is no way to predict how a child will handle being a big brother or sister. Remember that for the first few weeks/months it is survival time. What ever you do is OK and you adjust to the new normal!
My guest today, Serena Girardi, is a pediatric sleep consultant with a love for babies and supporting new parents. She has a two-year background in nursing and now works alongside parents to set healthy sleep foundations for their newborns and helps correct poorly developed sleep habits when necessary for children above 3 months. She also helps parents gain some predictability in what can become chaotic days with their children and offers advice and support when it comes to age-specific milestones like regressions, solid introduction, as well as things that can throw little ones off like traveling, daylight savings, teething and/or adding another member to the family. Nothing is more exciting than bringing your newborn baby home. They seem to sleep so well in the hospital before you go home, and after a couple days you bring them home and it is like they woke up and smelled the coffee! They do not need to be on a schedule right away because their internal clock is not yet developed, but sleep is so important for their growth and development
Sounds easy right? Not so much! Please join me and Serena as we talk through the most common questions parents have when it comes to their sleepy or not so sleepy infant!

Today's guest is Dr. Alex Neimczura, who has a Doctorate in Biomedical Science (Neuroscience) from Northeast Ohio Medical University & Kent State University. Through her studies and practice, she has discovered that communication is an important and fundamental part of our everyday lives and relationships. Listening and hearing is something that many people take for granted, but there’s a lot of benefits to thinking about how it affects our children or grandchildren. In addition, what we say can provide a lot of information about our emotions, and, conversely, the things we hear affect the way we feel! This is information is vital to helping parents and grandparents have a better understanding of their communicative relationship with their child or grandchild.
Many Children and Adolescents are suffering from some level of Anxiety and Depression. But how do we identify if a child/adolescent is suffering? Many times families are blindsided, and it is important today - more than ever - to keep your family mentally healthy. Kids want to be safe, seen and heard, so how do we as parents, grandparents or caregivers - and know how to respond to a child’s needs? So, what are the benefits of therapy? Listen as I tackle these concerns with Pegg Tipka, PCC-s, certified hypno-analyst, registered art therapist, and the founder of a growing private practice in Northast Ohio.
