Looking for a way to inspire your kids with meaningful stories that go beyond the playground? Our latest Reading with Your Kids podcast episode is a game-changer, featuring three incredible authors who are transforming how children learn valuable life skills through storytelling.
Meet Brett Gunning, a former NBA coach, and Stacy Padula, an accomplished author, who have teamed up to create the "On the Right Path" book series. These aren't just basketball books - they're powerful narratives that teach kids about character, resilience, and personal growth. Each story takes place during a week-long basketball camp, where young characters learn lessons about teamwork, unselfishness, and perseverance that extend far beyond the basketball court.
But wait, there's more! We also dive into a delightful conversation with David Farkas, author of "Delilah and the Missing Curtains" - a heartwarming book about gratitude and happiness. Drawing inspiration from thought leaders like Dennis Prager, Farkas shares how parents can help children develop a positive mindset and appreciate what they have.
The episode is packed with real-life stories that will resonate with parents and kids alike. From Brett's personal anecdote about his son learning to handle game-winning (and losing) moments to David's insights on teaching children not to say "can't," these authors prove that storytelling is a powerful educational tool.
Whether you're a sports enthusiast, a parent looking to inspire your children, or simply someone who loves meaningful children's literature, this episode offers something for everyone. You'll walk away with practical strategies for teaching life lessons, understanding the power of perspective, and helping your kids develop resilience.
Don't miss this inspiring conversation that proves books can be more than just entertainment - they can be transformative experiences that shape young minds and hearts.
