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.
