Let's get real, this whole raising tiny humans thing is wild. That's why I created a place where parents, caregivers, teachers, and experts come together to create the modern parenting village. We can support one another on this crazy journey so it doesn't have to be this hard.

323- Navigating Learning To Read with a Wiggly Kid with Stefanie Hohl, M.Ed
You're listening to Voices of Your Village. And today I get to hang out with Stefanie Hohl, who has a master's in education and has been teaching children to read for years. She holds advanced degrees in both children's literature and early education, and she has experience running preschool, homeschool, and local storytime programs. Stefanie developed the ABC: See, Hear, Do, Learn to Read method to make early reading fun and easy for kids and their parents. Stefanie lives in Pittsburgh with her husband, five children, and two very silly dogs. I really enjoyed this conversation because I don't know a lot about teaching kids to read. And I do know that what doesn't feel good for me is being like, sit down, do this worksheet. I know that my son who loves movement doesn't retain information this way. So I was really excited to learn from Stefanie and have personally purchased some of her materials because I'm really enjoying them. I love how she incorporates movement with reading. And I feel like I just get the best bang for my buck in terms of the time spent with my tiny human working on these skills. All right, folks, let's dive in.  Connect with Stefanie: Instagram: @abcseeheardo, @stefaniehohl Website: www.abcseeheardo.com Order the books: ABC See Hear Do Connect with us: Instagram: @seed.and.sew  Podcast page: Voices of Your Village Seed and Sew's Regulation Quiz: Take the Quiz Order Tiny Humans, Big Emotions now!  Website: seedandsew.org Music by: Ruby Adams and Bensound Learn more about your ad choices.

322- Embracing Imperfection in Parenthood with Kate Hamilton
You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I get to hang out with Kate Hamilton. She is married to Charlie since 2000 and is a mother of two young adult men who are independent, confident, and productive college students. Some might say she's an unlikely writer because of her dyslexia, yet her life experiences compelled her to write The Imperfect Parent: A Nonjudgmental Guide to Raising Children in the Modern World. She earned an MBA in international business and is a former corporate executive turned mother and entrepreneur. When Kate is not coaching parents and their children, you'll find her volunteering with Lemonade Day, a youth entrepreneur program, planning the next family adventure, or working with Charlie in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It was fun to chat with Kate because we know that perfection is not the goal. I also really enjoyed this breakdown with Rach, and you get to hear some of my real -time takeaways where Rach was helping me understand some guilt that I've been experiencing as a parent and really diving into like what's coming up for me there. I also just always feel so seen in how Rach responds to me in the moment. So I hope you enjoy the breakdown of this bad boy as well.
