Just before the big news about our $9.4M gift from the Dennis and Phyllis J. Washington Foundation, I had a chance to sit with Flora McCormick as a guest on her very cool podcast, “Sustainable Parenting.” I’ve known Flora for at least 15 years, and she is a focused, dedicated, knowledgeable, kind, and EXCELLENT parenting educator. Talking with her was, as usual, fun and insightful.
In this podcast, we cover three big ideas about parenting. You’ll notice, as in the attached video clips below, Flora is very good at getting me to talk. . . and at zeroing in on what’s the most important information for parents.
Here are some links to the podcast:

I hope you enjoy the pod.

Hie John. Kindly checking if you have any materials on Childhood Trauma and it’s effects in the different areas of life. Eg marriage or relationship, self or the self, etc Kindly I would really appreciate anything along those lines
Hi Princess,
My apologies for the slow response. Also, unfortunately the area to which you refer is not one that I can immediately think of any specific resources. I do have ideas for general resources. I think the concept of self-schema and schema therapy would be an interesting resource. Also, although trauma is of great significance in many situations, I also think it’s good to balance reading about the negative effects of trauma with a few resources that look at trauma from a different perspective, like, Bonanno’s book on “The End of Trauma.” I wish I could be more helpful and good luck.
