    Jessica Lahey - On Giving our Kids "The Gift of Failure"

    Welcome back to another episode of the “Figure It the Father Out” Podcast! Today, we have the pleasure of having a New York Times Best Selling Author, Jessica Lahey, on the pod with us. Jess speaks to parents, educators, school administrators, coaches, pastors, and community leaders about the science of learning, motivation, engagement, and substance abuse prevention, all in service to the belief that adults have the power to help kids become more autonomous, competent, connected, and fulfilled. Her first book, The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed was a New York Times bestseller and has empowered so many to strengthen home-school partnerships, support kids as they learn from their mistakes, and forge stronger, more trusting relationships with children. Her second book, The Addiction Inoculation: Raising Healthy Kids in a Culture of Dependence is the culmination of Lahey’s experience as an alcoholic with a decade of recovery, the parent of two kids, and twenty years in the classroom teaching English, Latin, and writing in every grade from six to twelve and five of those years were spent teaching in an inpatient drug and alcohol rehab for adolescents. She recently won the Research Society on Alcohol’s Media Award, “designed to recognize outstanding journalistic efforts of writers who cover empirical research on alcohol.” Tune in for an insightful and inspiring discussion on how we can better support our children's journey of growth, both academically and personally.

    rebelEducator, Hannah Frankman on Figuring Out Homeschooling, Unschooling and Creating Learning Environments

    Welcome to episode #24 of the FITFO Podcast! I am joined by the insightful #rebelEducator, Hannah Frankman, as we explore the intersecting worlds of parenting, education, and cultivating a curiosity-driven environment for our children. Hannah shares her personal journey towards understanding and shaping early childhood development, drawing from Montessori principles and emphasizing the value of structured freedom. She explains how designing an educational space with thoughtfully curated activities can lead to children naturally engaging in beneficial play, fostering self-motivation and responsibility. Diving deeper, we explore Hannah's nuanced take on homeschooling, where she discusses the balance between rigid academic structures and child-guided unschooling. Her approach is tailored, grounded in the belief that one size does not fit all in education. We also discuss Hannah's strategies for building a successful social media presence, sharing expertise that's equally applicable to launching your own personal brand or creating a thriving micro school. Hannah's commitment to empowering families in alternative education challenges us to reconsider traditional educational pathways.
