Welcome to another installment of Educating Little Kids! (When it's a book, it will have a better title, promise.)
We dive into development today, and if you're wondering "why should I care about child development," I hope this episode makes that clear.

Really and truly, it's a good thing to know.

Today we dive into the stages of development – stages all of us humans are going through – to give you a sense of where your child is developmentally.

Plus in Parenting News: How our own biases can stop us from seeing what is actually right in front of us.

Today's guest, Jacky Lamenzo, ate "only off the kids menu" well into her adulthood.

Then, she had the opportunity to go to China for a year, and knew something was going to have to change.

Could she make the change? You bet.

In our conversation Jacky shares what she did to stop being a picky eater, and also about her delightful children's book that helps parents and kids with picky eating now.

And here's the cool thing: before we even get to the picky eating, we talk about so much other interesting stuff, everything from what Jacky did when she felt that her work wasn't being valued, to bonding over studying in Florence, Italy!

Also! Click here to sign up for the "5 Ways to Handle Your Picky Eater" Free Guide, which I tell you all about during today's break!

Plus in Parenting News: Is STEM bad for our democracy? I ask for your help in coming up with a new acronym, one that goes beyond both STEM and STEAM.

Join us!

Go to weturnedoutokay.com/279 for:

  • Cheat sheet on the 3 ways moving to China helped solve Jacky's picky eater problem (and how that can help in your family life)
  • Links that come up in today's conversation
  • The video of the week: "3 ways to stop picky eating"

"She will not eat with us at the dinner table. No matter what we have for dinner she won't eat it. She just says "yucky" and won't eat anything. Help!!!"
So writes Megan, mom of a two-year-old girl who is a seriously picky eater.

I bet, if you've got kids, you know Megan's struggle. I certainly do!

There is help. Today I share 4 things to consider when you've got a child who refuses to eat.

Do you tend to think along the lines of "I don't need to worry about teaching… that will be taken care of when my child starts school"?

I want to push back on that idea today. Because the opposite side of this coin is "I am not a teacher and what I do here at home does not matter."

What we do at home really and truly matters.

And today, we're talking about 3 ways you can take advantage of this.

In this week's Parent News segment: We consider the Parent Police… anyone who disparages our personal and family choices.

Join us!

Go to weturnedoutokay.com/277 for:

  • A cheat sheet on the 3 ways to utilize this idea, "learning begins in the home"
  • The link to our We Turned Out Okay Facebook group, where I do a Facebook live each Monday morning and this week I'm sharing a useful way to view, or think about, our children
  • The video of the week: "What's most important for my young child to learn"

And thank you so much for listening!
