The current state of affairs in our world is leaving many confused and downright angry. Regardless of anyone’s viewpoint, I think we can all agree that we see the very worst in people lately. In this show, I’m going to share why it’s important to hold space for those people, even if we do not agree with them or their actions. In the home it is equally as important to hold space for those close to you. I’m also going to give you tips on how to do it, as well as what not to do!

Gerardo Campbell is a stepfather veteran of 16+ years. Back in 1995, there were little, if any, resources, information or coaching available for stepfathers. So he became a stepfather equipped with the very best intentions combined with his own perceptions, expectations and very little outside preparation. Reflecting back he understands why his marriage ended in divorce. Now, through his website, he wants to share with you his experience, his lessons learned, and the lessons learned from others.

With many children in today’s society are currently navigating through emotional challenges, learning and attention issues, or family stressors/pressures on the home front, we need to think more carefully about different ways to support children’s motivation and engagement, both in the classroom and at home. Joining us today on this episode of  The Blended Family Podcast to share how to assist your child in developing his/her sense of worthiness is Donna Sager Cowan, the creator of The Superhero School Series and the author of the forthcoming children’s book, With The Curiosity Of A Cat (book #2 in the series). As the youngest child in a large family, Donna felt lost in the crowd. She entertained herself by making up stories and friends to play with. By age 5, Donna had taught herself to read, and that began her imaginative journey to dreamy castles with princes and fairy godmothers.  Donna is a grandmother, random fact-finder, and encourager. And yes, she believes she’s a superhero. She resides in California with her family and four cats. In this interview you will hear:

 

  • Her personal story
  • Why going back to school can be very challenging for kids
  • What brought her to this line of work and why a superhero school series. 
  • Why blended families can affect children and their self worth
  • The book, With the courage of a mouse. 
  • What kids today struggle with, especially with school and social media
  • How do you know if your child feels worthy or not? 
  • How can we help our children make sure they have a good view of self
  • How can you help a child who suffers from low identity, can you reverse this?
  • What's next for Donna-the future of the book series 
  • And much more!
