In this very special episode of Teaching Your Toddler, today host and founder Marijo Tinlin interviews Florence Ann Romano, also known as the Windy City Nanny.

In this episode, you will hear Romano's experience as a nanny, which began at age 11 when she started as a "Mommy's helper," as well as her thoughts about ways to raise kids without relying on technology.

Romano is an author, philanthropist and web series star/host of the YouTube show Windy City Nanny, which premiered August 21st, 2019. 

She has also released a book called Nanny and Me, which is a children's book to help kids make the transition from being cared for by parents to having a nanny.

(There are some small issues with the audio interview - I've tried to clean it up but I apologize for this in advance).

Happy St. Patrick's Day! ☘️☘️☘️

What's so SAD about the Standard American Diet? Well, just about everything!

In this amazing episode, Zen Honeycutt from Moms Across America will tell you everything you need to know about the horrible things going on with the food supply from some of your favorite restaurants. 

From pollution and chemicals, to pharmaceuticals and hormones and beyond, you are never going to believe what is in the food you get at some of the most popular restaurants around the country. 

Zen is a return guest for us - her first visit was all about the food supply for school lunches and how, once she changed how her sons were eating, she saw astounding changes in their allergy symptoms and even in her son's symptoms of autism.

In this episode, she tells us about the suppliers of many school lunches and those are restauraunts. She'll tell us about that food and what's happening there but she'll also give you some great ideas on how keep your family safe as best you can from these terrifying conditions.

Welcome to the Teaching Your Toddler interview with Parenting Expert and Former Elementary School Teacher Laura Linn Knight as she talks to our host Marijo Tinlin about incredibly practical calming technique to take your child (and you) from crazy to calm.

Laura is a former kindergarten and 1^st grade teacher who found out that once she became a parent herself, kids are different at home than at school.

Listen to Laura talk about the “Big Emotions” kids feel when they are in the safe haven of home and how that manifests itself when they are unhappy. Also, what do you do when your toddler melts down OUTSIDE of your home – what are the techniques you can use to help calm them down? (And get yourself calmed down as well!).

Laura talks about the connection between the pre-frontal cortex of rational thought and how we as parents need to become that rational person for our child because they still live in their “lizard” brain portion called the amygdala. Our brains don’t fully form that connection between the two parts until we are 25 so we really need to help our kids think rationally.

She’s offering a free download to our listeners of her brand new “Calm Cards” that have really helped when her own daughter gets upset and now they can help you and your child too. Find them on her website under “Free Calming Tools” at lauralinnknight.com

We can all learn a thing or two about society, how to take care of each other and about a different way to heal from these amazing animals - cows! 

Listen to this ground-breaking episode with Ellie Laks, co-founder of The Gentle Barn and the author of the book Cow Hug Therapy: How the Animals at the Gentle Barn Taught Me about Life, Death, and Everything In Between (ARC, May 21, 2024)

Cows are wise and compassionate animal ambassadors who have helped countless people heal from trauma with their gentle, calm manner at the 3 different Gentle Barn locations. Each animal's story in this book will touch your heart and maybe make you cry, like me. 

Through the stories of Buddha, her first cow, to many other animals like turkey, pigs, dogs, horses and other cows, their unique personalities will leap off each page to share life lessons with all of us. 

Ellie Laks is the Founder of The Gentle Barn Foundation, a national organization that rescues and rehabilitates unwanted animals and heals people with the same stories of abuse and neglect.

Ellie is a powerful speaker, celebrated animal welfare advocate, humane educator, animal communicator, and the author of “My Gentle Barn: Creating a sanctuary where animals heal and children learn to hope,” and “Cow Hug Therapy: How the animals at The Gentle Barn taught me about life, death, and everything in between.” Ellie founded The Gentle Barn in 1999.

She invented her own “Gentle Healing” method that allows old, sick, injured, and terrified animals to fully recover. Ellie is the creator of cow hug therapy and has hosted hundreds of thousands of people who have come to The Gentle Barn seeking hope.

Teaching Your Toddler welcomes Melissa Ridolfi, Vice President of Retirement and College Leadership at Fidelity Investments to talk about ways parents of young kids can prepare to save for their kids’ college education.

Almost one-third of parents aren’t sure what to expect in terms of the cost of college by the time their kids are ready to enroll but, surprisingly, 77% of parents do save for college and believe college is worth the expense.

In this interview, Ridolfi shares several ways parents can save without taking big chunks of money such as using credit cards that give you cash back into your 529 savings plan or encouraging friends and family to give gifts of money into 529 funds in lieu of gifts for kids.

Check out their on-line resources at www.fidelity.com/529

Do you know what the top 9 allergens are? Do you know the "new kid on the block" on the list? Did you know kids can grow out of allergies? Do you know which ones they tend to grow out of and which ones will probably stay with them for life?

Currently, Elizabeth owns a private practice, Eating Healthy 4 Life, LLC, in Westchester, NY where she sees patients (adults and children), both with and without food allergies. Elizabeth received her Bachelor’s Degree in Business from Binghamton University and her Master’s Degree in Nutrition and Physiology from Columbia University.

Dr. Dravon James joins Teaching Your Toddler this week to talk about how moms, especially young moms learning about being a mom AND managing little ones, can keep their cool even in the chaos.

Many times, we need to reframe our expectations to find calm and happiness during the storm. Dr. James has some great ways to help ground yourself and “listen to your body” instead of letting your brain make all the decisions. Listen for her fantastic “Body Scan” exercise for decision-making.

She says “the body never lies” while our brain can easily tell us what we want to hear. She also says we can be thankful while STILL being angry and she’ll explain what that means.

She also reminds us that we are always modeling to our children regarding how we react to emotions and situations. Remember, they are ALWAYS watching and observing.

Dr. Dravon James is the founder of Everyday Peace and hosts the weekly radio show “Everyday Peace” on Unity Radio. She is also a speaker, life coach and the author of the book “Freedom Is Your Birthright.”

After spending 30 years as a pharmacist (make sure you read her book on how she discovered that career choice wasn’t a great fit), she is an inspirational speaker, author and actress including a recurring role on HBO’s “The Wire”.

Dr. Greg Hammer, MD is a pediatric intensive care physician, pediatric anesthesiologist, professor at Stanford University Medical Center and the author of GAIN Without Pain: The Happiness Handbook for Health Care Professionals. He has also spent many years learning and teaching about health and wellness including a daily meditation practice.

In this episode, Dr. Hammer talks about the 4 Pillars of Being Present – the only time we are guaranteed is the present we are experiencing RIGHT NOW. As parents, sometimes it’s hard to stay present.

He also talks about ways to have gratitude each day and take stock in the wonder of the day. Our days with kids are long and tiring. Taking time at the end of the day either writing down or thinking of 3 things has been scientifically been proven to help us be happier.

One of the most important practice we can teach our children is gratitude. Taking time each day to talk about the good things that happened.

Dr. Hammer talks about our true nature as beings seeking peace and happiness but we often get stuck in the bad things that have happened to us. Teaching out kids to learn to see the good is a huge skill and it actually rewires our brains when we think about happy things.

He wraps the show with his thought on the gift it is to have children – the magic of connecting with the unconditional love we feel for our kids and the privilege we have as parents of being with them.

Wondering what the signs are that your child may potentially struggle with dyslexia? You HAVE to listen to our interview with Robin Zikmund, a mom-advocate from the Institute for Multi-Sensory Education (IMSE).

It's estimated that about 20% of kids struggle with dyslexia; that's one out of five! AND - it's hereditary, so if someone in your child's family struggled with dyslexia, that could mean your child is more likely to struggle too.

There's a spectrum for dyslexia too so there's a huge range to how much it might affect someone. Early intervention is KEY, Robin says so this episode is even more important if you have little ones - like before age 5!

While this episode is not meant as a diagnosis, Robin will help you start looking for some of the earliest signs of one of the most common learning challenges - she will also help you understand what your next steps are to get the support you need from your child's school.

Robin's story of her son's frustration with reading and learning to the point of complete defeat, will break your heart, but also her drive to get to the bottom of what was happening and eventually "educating the educators" will inspire you to advocate for your child too.

She mentions the Orton-Gillingham methods which you can find out about on the IMSE's website here. https://imse.com/

She also mentions Emily Hanford's podcast called Sold A Story found here: https://features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story/

Robin serves as the Dyslexia Advocate and Community Engagement Manager for IMSE, the Institute for Multi-Sensory Education - a literacy training company focused on the science of reading. She is also the founder of Decoding Dyslexia Idaho, a grassroots movement that aims to increase access to educational interventions and teacher professional development for dyslexia and other language-based learning disabilities in public schools.

Dr. Mom! If you are interested in learning more about how to use pure and natural solutions to treat common health challenges for your family, and detox your home, please contact me now and let's talk!

Maybe you've heard this word "codependency" but you don't really know what it means. In this very important episode, Teaching Your Toddler's Marijo Tinlin talks with Dr. Frieda Birnbaum, research psychologist, psychoanalytic therapist, author and podcaster - also known as "Dr. Frieda" about what exactly that means.

So, what does codependency look like in a family? Do you have trouble setting boundaries? Asking for what you want? Expressing your true emotions? And what effect does this have on your children both now, in their childhood, and also later in life in their own relationships? Dr. Frieda will talk about all of this in this episode.

Dr. Frieda is also a mom to 5 children and is known as the oldest mom in America, having given birth to her twins at the age of 60. She is the author of a book about this experience called Life Begins at 60: A New View of Motherhood, Marriage, and Reinventing Ourselves. She has also recently started a podcast called The Doctor Frieda Show: Pushing the Limits.

Welcome to the Teaching Your Toddler interview with The Money Couple Taylor and Megan Kovar who talk to us about how to start the conversation with your spouse about money and how to start teaching your children about the value of money.    

Taylor and Megan help counsel couples on their financial personalities and offer SO many resources, available on their website themoneycouple.com. You can also join their Facebook group, once you take their Financial Personality quiz (PS – I’m a “Saver/Risk Taker” which means I’m conflicted – and that doesn’t even take into account my spouse’s personalities! Zoinks!)

One of the hardest parts of marriage or long-term partnership is talking about finances, let alone actually working together to manage them. It’s estimated, according to the Money Couple’s website, that up to 70% of divorces are caused by money trouble. So how do you even start that conversation?

Also, what about your kids? How can you start teaching them about money, what it means, what the value is, what the connection is between effort and reward?

Listen to this episode and find out exactly how to start those tough but super important conversations. The Money Couple have three kids of their own and share some of the helpful ways they are teaching their own kids about money and about how you can too.

Their mission is to help prevent money-related divorces by helping couple communicate and understand their decision-making as it relates to money. Check this out – it could save your marriage!

How would you feel if your child WANTED to go to school over the summer or was sad when school was closed for a snow day?

Mimosa Jones Tunney speaks to the Teaching Your Toddler show about the curriculum that is inspiring kids across the country to WANT to learn, who love school and who get sad for snow days and summer break. Can you imagine?

Mimosa is a writer, researcher and the founder of both the American Emergent Curriculum and The School House, a private elementary school in New York. She’s also a former political speech and Hollywood television writer as well as an avid philanthropist.

 She's also our favorite kind of guest - an activated mom! She saw the deficiency in public education where schools "dumb down" kids and "teach to the test" instead of what she calls "smart up" the kids and teaching to their interests and passions that keeps them loving learning throughout their school life.

Over 300,000 teachers per year leave the profession, often out of frutration. The curriculum The School House offers can be used by homeschoolers, "micro-schools"/learning pods as well as brick and mortar schools. This curriculum is so inspiring for kids and so successful, it could inspire those teachers back to the classroom. 

So far, communities using this curriculum have appeared in Texas and Florida, and continue to spread across the country. The school is private and continues to beat the state test scores, without ever teaching to the test, because the kids LOVE learning.

Mimosa also noted that in their school, they do not allow politics or gossip from the teachers so that everyone feels welcomed and the school can concentrate on learning. It's truly a novel approach that addresses children's learning stages and their areas of interest. 

This approach also often alleviates or eliminates typicial learning challenges that children display due to the antiquated approach most typical public schools take for learning.

The workforce market is evolving, and this year we'll see more employers begin to move away from the emphasis on four-year degree requirements to greater recognition of valuable skills. However, there are sizeable skill and opportunity gaps for workers illustrated in the results of the University of Phoenix's recent Career Optimism Index® study.

The Index showed that while more than half of Americans are seeking their next career move, 70% would prefer to stay in their company if they were given more opportunities to learn and apply new skills.  

Studies by workforce research leaders McKinsey and Deloitte make the case for focusing on skills as well. 

In this episode, Doris Savron, vice provost of Colleges, Assessment and Curriculum at University of Phoenix, discusses the transition to skills-based hiring in the workforce. She also talks about how workers can leverage their skills, employers can develop talent, and education leaders can empower learners and job seekers in this new era of skills-based hiring.  

Doris Savron, Vice Provost, Colleges, Assessment and Curriculum, University of Phoenix

Doris Savron has over 23 years of experience in higher education in a variety of settings. Doris serves as Vice Provost overseeing the strategy for University of Phoenix academic programs and curriculum design, institutional assessment and faculty. This includes oversight of strategy for degree, certificate and course offerings, design of curriculum and student learning outcomes for the University.

She works collaboratively with her team members to innovate academic solutions that enable the University to provide exceptional student experiences and learning environments to support student success. In her tenure with University of Phoenix she has served as associate faculty, campus vice president, regional Vice president of student services, and college operations.   

Doris is a first-generation college graduate with her parents never finishing high school and saw first-hand the struggles a lack of education creates for some families, and the benefits and opportunities a degree brings to future generations. She understands the unique challenges that older adult students encounter trying to navigate their life responsibilities while also earning their degrees.  

Doris is passionate about giving back to the community and serves on several boards including Career Connectors and Propenum College in Lusaka, Zambia, and recently completing a six-year term on Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. 

Doris is often sought out as a speaker for her expertise on mapping relevant skills in programs and building an infrastructure to support career tools in curriculum design, micro credentialing and other innovations in curriculum (1Ed Tech, PACRAO). Doris’s significant contributions in her profession, mentoring, and community leadership led to being selected as Greater Phoenix Chamber’s Private Sector Athena Finalist in 2020. Her advocacy for women in leadership has led her to project work in India, Zambia and the U.S. supporting women to achieve their potential in their profession. She has designed, led, and presented in several international empowerment conferences.    

Doris earned her MBA from Cleveland State University and is completing her doctorate in management in organizational leadership.

Our guest today is returning to the show and we’re so happy to have her on – Florence Ann Romano, an author, philanthropist, businesswoman and childcare advocate, is going to tell us why Mom Rage happens and what we can do about it to get back in alignment with our children and our families.

With so many things that have happened in the past several years - loved ones getting sick, classmates taking their own lives, and worse, parents are having a hard time knowing what to say to their children about these dramatic and tragic events.

They are the co-authors of the book GIVING HOPE: Conversations With Children About Illness, Death and Loss, released in August 2022 from Avery/Penguin Random House.

Our guests give amazing advice on how to help your child understand and process bad news and how to support them through that process.
