Episode 3: Every Parent a Teacher with Brook Wolcott
02/07/20 • 21 min
You've heard it before - kids are like sponges, soaking up what's all around them. If that's the case - you're teaching constantly. Are we being mindful, and intentional about what we are teaching? In this podcast Brook and I share a handful of ideas we've been thinking about and learning as parents...and parents who teach. How can we be fully present and attentive around the children in our lives? What would happen if we put our screens aside and played a game? Read a book? Made some playdough? How are we provoking learning in the lives of children we interact with? Let us know what works for you and the children in your lives. Let us know questions you are thinking about so we can join you in that conversation on a future episode!

In this episode I'm joined by parent, family, and teacher coach extraordinaire, Joshua Castillo (AKA Ask the Child Whisperer). Joshua supports us to see opportunities everyday to learn from the children in our lives. She helps to silence the world around us so that we can find our inner voice, listen to it, and trust our gut instincts. Joshua encourages us by helping us have many little conversations that lead to big understandings and growth for both adults and children.
