Ned Johnson on What Do You Say

08/25/21 • 31 min

Every parent wants the best for their kids. Sometimes that love can be smothering and might hold their kids back from learning essential life lessons to grow in the future. You've all heard the term 'helicopter parenting'. It's all done out of love. But maybe we need to give them a little more freedom to make mistakes and learn what they want from life, as opposed to what we want them to want from life.

The authors of the best-selling book 'The Self Driven Child' are back with a new book called 'What Do You Say: How To Talk With Kids To Build Motivation, Stress Tolerance And A Happy Home. I had the chance to speak with one of the authors, Ned Johnson, about the book. He is such a great guest for a podcast and I'm very lucky to have had this opportunity. I hope you enjoy!

If you're a parent of a young child you probably already know about the instagram account @kids.eat.in.color. If you don't follow it, you should go right now and find it. This account, started by registered dietician Jennifer Anderson, has taken the parenting world by storm. They share so much incredible information and helpful tips for getting our kids to eat. And it's not just about helping the picky eaters. It also gives inspiration to parents who just aren't sure what to feed their kids.

I'm talking about me. I have had no idea what to start feeding my daughter and Kids Eat In Color has become my go to resource for ideas.

Jennifer was able to find some time to chat with me. I hope you enjoy the conversation!

Be More Well Is Becoming Adult Education

It's time for a change with Be More Well. As this show has progressed over the last nearly 2 years I've started to realize that the name does not represent what my goals are.

This started out as a wellness oriented podcast but I've started to realize that it's more of an education show. Most of my guests are people I pick because I'm interested in learning more about their topic of expertise. I've had to turn down some really interesting conversations because they didn't fall into the "wellness" category. I don't want to have to do that.

So, I'm changing things up. As I have been craving information and education. But, like most of you, I don't have the time or money to go back to school. That's where this podcast comes into play. My goal will continue to be to bring you interesting and compelling guests who have knowledge to share on a particular topic. That way we never have to stop learning.

Be More Well is being retired and in comes Adult Education.
