Today I took the time to listen to a podcast. I have heard of The Dr. John Delony Show, but haven't ever really listened to any of it. Today, I stumbled into this one. OH MY GOODNESS! It was fascinating!! During this talk he did, the gal he was talking to had the following book recommendations
- Hunt, Gather, Parent
- Until the Streetlights Come on
- Jimmy Chin: Adventure Photography Class
- Balanced and Barefoot
- Glow Kids: How Screen Addiction Is Hijacking Our Kids - and How to Break the Trance
- Digital Madness
- Chasing Slow
- The Opt-Out Family
- Beyond Winning: Smart Parenting in a Toxic Sports Environment
- Smart Movers: Why Learning is Not All in Your Head
- Emotionally, Resilient Tweens and Teens: Empowering Your Kids to Navigate Bullying, Teasing, and Social Exclusion
- Take Back the Game: How Money and Mania Are Ruining Kids' Sports--and Why It Matters
- The Fun Habit: How the Pursuit of Joy and Wonder Can Change Your Life
Here were just a few interesting points that I gleaned from listening to this video two times:
- When your kids are bored, you have not failed.
- When you do the same thing over and over again, your brain records it as "one memory." If you just do baseball, it becomes one memory.
- Don't make a happy kid, happier.
- Every time I step into and try to save my child from something (other than death), what I am actually saying is, "I don't trust you."
- Stop siphoning stuff into little chunks. Go to the park and STAY. Three's a bigger payoff.
- It can take kids up to 45 minutes to develop a pay scale.
