On this podcast I will talk about supporting your children with healthy friendships and nurturing your own friendships.
I am excited to have an interview with my friend of over 40 years Tara Brophy! Make sure you listen to the very end for our "blooper," sound check. Tara and I have been laughing together since the 4th grade and man was it hard for us to record this podcast and be serious. But we did it! Mostly, LOL.
Tara brings a unique perspective to children's friendships since she is a 3rd grade teacher. Listen in as a grade school teacher and children's therapist talk about how parents can support their children in having healthy friendships. They'll also discuss the importance of making time to nurture your own friendships as well.
A Little About Tara:
Raised by her minister mom, Tara’s first gig was as a singing Sunday school teacher who uncovered the joy of storytelling at potluck suppers. Later bringing down the house at Connecticut libraries, camps and schools, Tara became a superheroine for the Earth, strumming a green guitar and dancing for the planet, but has since retired her cape. Now an eternal eight year old, she is a puppet-waving, songwriting, pogo-sticking third grade teacher of twenty-five years who learns the most from kids who draw their own lines. Constructive play is the hallmark of her teaching style where imagination and positivity win the day as the most powerful tools for constructing a loving community in a diverse classroom. She’s been known to jam out with her school-librarian husband while their two teenagers sigh, but secretly love it. Tara’s eighteen pound orange tabby Chester often snores in a backyard hammock while enduring obsessive photo sessions. Her other passions (hiking, kayaking, and collecting vintage Fisher Price people) all inspire more and more ideas.
