Building Resiliency in Children: A Strong Family Project Podcast Discussion
In this episode of the Strong Family Project Podcast, hosts Joe and Mell explore the widely held belief that today's children lack resilience. They discuss the role of media and societal values in shaping this perception and express concern over 'outcome-based' mindsets that can hinder children's growth. The pair gives examples from their own parenting experiences to showcase the importance of teaching children responsibility, independence, and critical thinking. Furthermore, they introduce the idea of creating a timeline of age-appropriate milestones that children should achieve towards becoming independent adults. They emphasize the importance of resisting the urge to provide too much support in the form of a constant connection via cell phones.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
