The Benefits Of Sneaky Parenting
Manage episode 433555288 series 1399997
In this episode, host Jed Doherty engages in a thought-provoking discussion with experts Dr. Michelle Borba and Julia Cook about the importance of teaching children resilience through children's books. The conversation delves into the concept of "bibliotherapy," where books allow kids to step into the shoes of characters facing challenges and learn strategies for handling problems.
Dr. Borba and Julia emphasize the value of equipping children with resilience skills from an early age, rather than shielding them from setbacks. They explain how books like "Bounce Back Superpowers" provide practical techniques, such as deep breathing and brainstorming, to help kids develop the mindset and tools to overcome obstacles. The experts also address the concerning trend of "risk-averse" college students, highlighting the need to instill resilience in children before they reach higher education.
The second half of the episode shifts focus to Jed's conversations with authors Sally Kashner and Dottie Lee. Sally discusses her children's book, "Cora's Christmas Challenge," which encourages young readers to spread kindness, make new friends, and find joy in the holiday season. Jed reflects on the changing dynamics of friendship-building, particularly for children who have experienced isolation during the pandemic. Meanwhile, Dottie Lee shares her passion for dance and how her book, "France Francis, Flamingo, prima ballerina," aims to inspire readers of all ages to pursue their dreams, regardless of their perceived limitations.
Throughout the episode, the diverse perspectives of the guests provide a well-rounded exploration of the multifaceted benefits of reading with kids, from fostering resilience to nurturing social-emotional skills and a deeper understanding of the human experience.
