CosmiKids'
Inspired Parenting Show - Listened to in 92 countries via the World
Puja Network
Hosted by Inspired Parenting Magazine Editor in Chief, Sandie Sedgbeer
About
The Show
 Today's
children face far more challenges than we did as kids. From our governments
to our boardrooms to our health services, corruption, mismanagement
and carelessness are rampant in the world today. As someone once said,
if we truly want to see change in the world, it has to start with
us. If we are truly committed to becoming the best humans we can possibly
be and the best stewards of our beautiful planet, it has to start
with the way we nurture, raise, and educate our children. And it has
to start NOW!
World Puja and the Inspired Parenting Show are on a mission to educate
the hearts of our children so that there is no more war, no more exclusion,
no more hatred or intolerance in our world. Broadcast twice every
Sunday to an audience of listeners in 92 countries, the Inspired Parenting
Show brings together an entertaining an eclectic mix of guests from
celebrity parents to experts from the diverse fields of science, psychology,
sociology, education, health, nutrition, and child development, to
discuss their findings, experience and insights, and offer their strategies,
tips and tools to assist our children in achieving their full potential
as kind, confident, resourceful, loving, inclusive, emotionally intelligent
human beings who have respect compassion and love for our planet,
and all sentient beings.
Celebrity parents tell us how they juggle their various careers with
the demands of being a parent, plus leading child development and
parenting experts give us the low down on why such qualities as resilience,
compassion, empathy and emotional intelligence are now regarded as
being far more important than IQ in predicting a child's future happiness
and success in life and relationships.

2009's Guests & Topics
 Sunday
7th February – Alexander “Allie” Golon:
Raising Topsy-Turvy Kids: Successfully Parenting Your Visual-Spatial
Child
Alexandra “Allie” Golon is a Master
Teacher at Rocky Mountain School for the Gifted & Creative
in Boulder, Colorado. As the former director of the Visual-Spatial
Resource, a G/T teacher, and parent to two gifted visual-spatial
learners, Allie brings a wealth of experience to her books, Raising
Topsy-Turvy Kids: Successfully Parenting Your Visual-Spatial Child,
If You Could See the Way I Think: A Handbook for Visual-Spatial
Kids, and The Visual-Spatial Classroom. Her latest
release, Visual-Spatial Learners: Differentiation Strategies
for Creating a Successful Classroom is a rich source of classroom
strategies that will help every student succeed, regardless of
preferred learning style. Allie has been invited to present on
teaching and parenting visual-spatial learners at state, national
and international venues. She has appeared on talk radio programs
and in various print media and her articles can be found in a
variety of journals and magazines.
Visual-spatial learners (VSLs) are often artists, inventors, builders,
creators, musicians, computer gurus, visionaries and healers.
They are empathic and, often, very spiritually aware, even when
very young. These children have powerful right hemispheres and
learn in multi-dimensional images, while most schools, most teachers
and most curricula are a haven for left-hemispheric thinking,
or auditory-sequential learners; children who think and learn
in words, rather than images, and in a step-by-step fashion. Though
visual-spatial students are often very bright, they don’t
always find success in academic environments. (www.Visual-Learners.com)*
Topics include:
-
How to determine
your child’s preferred learning style
-
The differences
between right brain and left brain thinkers and learners
-
Maintaining
Harmony at Home (particularly if you’re NOT visual-spatial!)
-
Advocating
for your child, working with educators, and specific strategies
for success in traditional classrooms
-
Is this ADD/ADHD?
And does this appear more frequently in boys?
