FEELING THINGS - New Favorite Book of the Year + A Habit That Could Change Your Kid's Future

Amy’s gushing about a book that might be the best read of the year, no spoilers, just pure obsession. Then we dig into some research-backed data on family dinners and why something as simple as eating together regularly can lower kids' aggression, reduce disordered eating, and even boost grades and self-esteem. We also get into a genuinely useful parenting hack for avoiding yes/no questions that invite pushback (and yes, we tested if it works on spouses too), plus Quiet Hours at Sephora, a sensory-friendly shopping option way more people than you'd expect could benefit from. And we share an incredibly moving email from a listener nominating her local teacher, whose classroom was damaged in recent flooding but who's kept showing up for her students anyway. We're kicking off something special with Hasbro over the next several weeks to help honor her and teachers like her. Hasbro is sponsoring Feeling Things for 8 weeks, celebrating back to school by getting families around the table with games again. Even better: they're helping us honor amazing teachers! Know one? Email [email protected] or call 877-207-2077, they could get featured on the show, plus a $500 Walmart gift card from Hasbro for classroom supplies.
