    Financial Education with Lauren Santagate

    This month at the Family Lab, we're teaching kids how to manage money. This week, we talked to Lauren Santagate of The Anti-Chore Moms about her family's financial system: how her kids earn, spend, save, and invest using the Greenlight card. Lauren explains her system of paying her kids when they add value to their family, their community, or to their own brains!  You can find more information about The Anti-Chore Moms Family Exchange System at womenswealthsociety.com and follow them on Instagram @the_anti_chore_moms

  2. The Family Economy with Richard Eyre

    The Family Economy with Richard Eyre

    It's Money Management month at the Family Lab, and we're kicking it off with author Richard Eyre to talk about the family economy he and his wife Linda set up decades ago.  In this episode, we talk about how to avoid raising entitled children and about why teaching kids to manage money is such a great way to teach them self reliance and responsibility. He'll share how their kids earned money, how they learned to manage it, and how the system evolved as they grew up. And Richard even helps me figure out how to handle the next stage of financial education for my own kids—as they start going to college! You can learn more details about the Eyre's family economy in their book, The Entitlement Trap. And listeners can get 40% off Richard Eyre's new book, The Grandparenting Blueprint.

  3. Potty Training: Don't Be Afraid

    Potty Training: Don't Be Afraid

    Potty training sounds scary, but it can actually be a great time to connect with your kid and build their confidence and self reliance. Today's guest is a firecracker of a human--Jamie Glowacki. She's a potty training expert who wrote the book I wish I had when I was potty training, called Oh Crap: Potty Training. She also hosts a fabulous podcast called Oh Crap! With Jamie.   Jamie is the first to acknowledge that there isn't one right way to potty train, since every kid is so different. But she has helped potty train a lot of kids and she has drilled it down to such a great method, divided into 5 stepping stones. But before we get into that method, we talk about the when and why of potty training and her overall potty training philosophy. Talking to Jamie almost makes me want to go back and do it again. Almost. You can find all of her resources at Jamieglowacki.com

  4. How to Get Your Kids To Brush Their Teeth: Oral Hygiene Skills

    How to Get Your Kids To Brush Their Teeth: Oral Hygiene Skills

    We're talking oral hygiene! My friend and our family dental hygienist, Megan Robbins, teaches us how to help our kids keep their teeth sparkly clean, including a demo with some giant choppers—so you might want to watch this one on YouTube rather than just listening. She'll answer some of your burning questions, like whether you should you floss first or brush first? Which would win in a fight--regular floss, flossers, toothpicks, or waterpicks? How bad are energy drinks and soda for your teeth? What about vaping? And what's the deal with fluoride? We also talk about strategies for kids who don't want to brush, and things may get a little out of hand when I decide to prove just how large my big, podcasting mouth really is.

  5. Don't Be the Smelly Kid: Teaching Body Hygiene

    Don't Be the Smelly Kid: Teaching Body Hygiene

    Kids can be gross. And as parents, we're their first line of defense to teach them how to wash those hands, scrub those stinky feet, wipe those bums, control their body odor, trim those toenails–all the things. To help us out, I invited my good friends Megan Robbins (a dental hygienist and one of the cleanest people I know) and Laura Nielson (a pediatric nurse) to help us lead our kids from helpers to workers to managers in this critical aspect of becoming a responsible human. I think you'll enjoy these lovely ladies as much as I do!

    Teaching Kids Self-Reliance

    Welcome to Season 8! This whole season we'll be talking about how to teach our kids to eventually take care of themselves on their way to becoming self-reliant, responsible adults. This episode will help you take the first step: evaluating what your kids are already taking charge of and where they have room to grow.    I introduce you to the system I've been using with my own kids for years, and show you how you can use it to help your kids progress from helpers to workers to managers. Then I talk to my son and some of my nephews about what they learned from their own self-evaluations.    You can download the Self Reliance Checklist here and follow along with your own kids! And join me any Tuesday at 1:00-2:00 PM mountain time for my weekly open lab hour, where we can brainstorm and problem-solve any of your parenting and home management experiments. Sign up at this link: https://calendly.com/whitneyarchibald/open-lab-the-family-lab   Here's a tentative schedule of the skills we'll cover each month of 2026:   January: Self-Reliance Overview February: Hygiene March: Sleep April: Food May: Fitness June: Talents July: Finance August: Education September: Social Skills October: Cleaning November: Possessions December: Spirituality

    Top 5 Christmas Traditions: A Teen Perspective

    Ever wonder which of your holiday traditions are actually the most meaningful to your kids? For this episode, I went straight to the source and I asked five (incredible) teenagers what traditions they love the best: from that pesky elf to the jolly old elf himself, family bonding and family fights, re-enacting the nativity, and sibling sleepovers. It's an episode filled with music and merriment.  Here are more Christmas episodes you'll enjoy!
