As Pam says on her website: "Every child is intelligent, resourceful, competent, and driven toward relationship with other people and the world. But not every child grows up believing this about himself."

This was a wonderfully insightful and eye-opening conversation with Pam Oken-Wright (author, teacher, educational consultant, keynote speaker) about what we as parents can be doing to help support our children so that they can still be children and use that imagination and curiosity to enrich and drive their education. This is a must-listen for anyone who has or interacts with children, as it gives insight into how the child brain works and how we as adults can support and encourage their development and growth.

Pam's book, "Mommy, They're Taking Away My Imagination" can be purchased on Amazon.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
