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.

Ben and Mica to help her devise a set of combination essences which
could be sold over the counter. She asked Ben and Mica to tell her
the sort of things they would want to have in a first aid kit for
feelings. Between them, Ann and the boys came up with 12 different
combination essences to help with the everyday emotional bumps and
bruises that most children experience. (www.indigoessences.com)
