Welcome aboard the back-to-school express! As we embark on this exciting journey, I'm joined by the talented educator and speaker, Erin Tarr, to lend us a compass and a flashlight, guiding us to a successful school year. With us, your family is in safe and knowledgeable hands, all set to navigate the school year.
We kick off our journey by laying the platform of healthy sleep habits. It's the fuel that keeps the engine of our kids' growth running smoothly. Erin enlightens us on the importance of good sleep, from blackout curtains to white noise, and how a consistent sleep schedule can be a game changer for our kids. Transitioning to our next stop, we put on our explorer hats and journey through the landscape of digital resources available to our young scholars. With apps like PhotoMath, Canvas Parent, Khan Academy, and Duolingo, homework and organization become less daunting tasks and more of exciting quests.
Moving forward, we handle the tough terrains of bullying, and provide tools to help you spot the signs and empower your children with empathy. We further delve into the art of setting boundaries, and the balance of support and effective communication with teachers. Keeping kids motivated is imperative; buckle up as we unravel the magic of different incentives and how communication helps decode what works best. As we approach the end of our journey, Erin and I focus on the unsung heroes of our kid's lives—their teachers. We discuss simple ways to show gratitude and appreciation to these extraordinary individuals. Finally, we welcome listeners once again to join our sponsorship challenge for kids in Haiti.
So, come along for this knowledge-packed journey, fill your backpacks with tips and tricks, and let's make this school year a resounding success!
Holly's Highlights challenge:There are 90 students needing an educational scholarship of just $20 per year. Would you be one of those to help a haitian child receive an education in hopes of completing high school? Donate today at https://nkchristian.givingfuel.com/give.

Labor Day Reflections: Work Ethic, Service, and Servant Heart
1 RecommendationsImagine an unexpected cabin trip involving a major injury and a fractured arm - not the ideal Labor Day scenario, right? Well, that’s exactly the tale I’ll be sharing with you, but fear not, it’s not all boo-boos and band-aids. This episode is a journey through my personal experiences and reflections on Labor Day, intertwined with the inspiring work ethic of my father and how his values have molded me. I dig into the history of this holiday, its connection to the labor class, and the importance of truly loving what you do.
Laced with family anecdotes and life lessons, we also touch on the essence of hard work and service, inspired by my father and brother's experiences with transforming failing teams. I share why leaving a job must be done with respect and integrity, and why a two-week notice isn't just a courtesy, but a mark of professionalism. As we honor our servicemen and women, we explore how challenges reveal our true selves, and why we should savor each moment. So, join me as we delve into the significance of knowing our limits, cultivating a heart of service, and embracing gratitude. Let's celebrate Labor Day together, honoring not just the workers, but also the spirit of dedication and service that makes our lives meaningful.
