Episode #06 / Keeping Kids Lives Balanced with Stanford University Senior Lecturer Dr. Denise Pope of Challenge Success - a podcast by Gameday Media Enterprises

Megan's conversation with Dr. Denise Pope this week is a must listen for parents! Dr. Pope is an author and senior lecturer at Stanford University and the founder of an organization called Challenge Success. Its mission is to partner with schools, families, and communities to promote a broad definition of success and to implement research-based strategies so that all kids are healthy and engaged with learning. Dr. Pope talks about the unspoken messages we send our kids about what we value and want to instill in them and how that might be at odds with what we, as parents, say that we value. Understanding that parenting in the age of over scheduling and social media can feel overwhelming as parents struggle to make the best choices for our families, Dr. Pope offers research backed information that kids need downtime, playtime, and family time daily. They need families and schools that are safe places to make mistakes and learn from them. Challenge Success has done the heavy lifting of compiling all the research parents want and presenting it in an accessible way as we all learn more about the connection between academic health, physical health and emotional health.
