RG22-11 Gramps Jeffrey, I Don’t Want to Turn 3.

Raising our gifted children with Sara Troy and her guest Marc Joseph aka Gramps Jeffery, on air from March 15TH

Why Did I Write This Book?

Living this past year because of the pandemic caused by Covid19 in isolation except for being with family, gave me special time to watch and interact with the grandkids. What a trip!

All 6 kids have completely different personalities. The one thing they have in common is the sense of curiosity and how excited they get when they do accomplish something new. Watching them grow year to year and how they interact with each other is the basis for this book.

What goes through a toddler’s mind that parents are so desperate to understand? When does a toddler understand the difference between “me” and “us”? This book explores how a family finds out together.

As a baby boomer trying to understand how the world has evolved since I was 3 years old, is also part of this story. My parents did not have cell phones or the Internet or cable TV. My parents’ definition of discipline is quite different than parents of today. Has today’s world made for a better place for children to grow up? I will let you answer that question as you weigh how you were treated growing up compared to how we treat our kids today.

So, I wrote this book to read to these grandkids. Their reaction has been invaluable. As you watch them understand Jordan’s discovery of right versus wrong, you can see the older kids have gone through the same dilemma. And the younger kids don’t quite yet understand the concept of sharing. This whole experience, for me, has been priceless.

My first book, “The Secrets of Retailing…How to Beat Walmart” was written to help entrepreneurs and small businesses compete against the big guys. Here is a little more information about my book:

Marc Joseph Book

Arianna Huffington had read my book and then asked me to become a contributor to The Huffington Post. Here is a link to the close to 100 articles I have written for this publication:

Huffington Post Articles by Marc Joseph

The articles are about small businesses, education, family, the elderly, the homeless and several other nonprofit topics dear to all of us.

The reason I am sharing all of this with you is if you want to talk about other issues facing today’s parents and grandparents, I would be happy to give you my take on subjects affecting our kids.

Attached is a PDF of my children’s book and the reason I wrote this book.

Raising our gifted children with Sara Troy and her guest Dewatti Basdeo, on air from March 8th

‘Magnificent Me Magnificent You The Great Barrier Reef’ children’s story and yoga activities book. This is the second book in the natural wonders of the World Series I am currently writing. In this book twins, Crystal and Leo and their clever dog Einstein embark on an adventure of discovery of the Great Barrier Reef, its beauty, and its teachings. Alongside the story are a range of wellbeing activities children can utilise to support both their physical and mental wellbeing. As well as the above, the book will be fundraising for different organizations working on the conservation of reefs and world oceans.

The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system. Coral reefs are home to thousands of species and play a critical role in maintaining healthy oceans and subsequently a healthy planet.

We are each steward of our planet, home to our future generations, in this understanding, we endeavour to contribute towards maintaining a healthy planet the best we can.

RG22-08 Patrice Badami Educating Special Needs Children

February 21, 2022July 14, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Raising our gifted children with Sara Troy and her guest Patrice Badami, on air from February 22nd

What exactly does it mean to be an advocate for a child with special needs? Our goal, as caregivers, is always to raise children to be happy and successful. But how does a caregiver navigate the overwhelming and sometimes complicated world of laws, resources and programs in their community?

I am a special education teacher and mother of three. I have advocated for families with children who have special needs to ensure that they receive the special education services that they require for them to be appropriately facilitated at their home school district. I created a website to help students as they navigate their way back into the in-person educational settings. The website is entitled Acorntotree.com and it offers free academic and recreational support for children and families.

RG22-06 Trent Talbot, Brave Books Empowering Youth.

February 7, 2022February 6, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Raising our gifted children with Sara Troy and her guest Trent Talbot, on air from February 8th

UNFORTUNATELY, NO ONE CAN BE TOLD WHAT THE “WOKETRIX” IS…You have to see it for yourself…
Trent Talbot, is the Founder and CEO of Brave Books and author of the upcoming adventure called The Fight for Freedom Island. Brave Books is empowering this generation’s youth with conservative values so that the next generation will be filled with strong and discerning leaders.

BRAVE Books has released a “Matrix” parody video ahead of the release of “The Matrix Resurrections.”

The “Woketrix” video echoes the notorious explanation of the Matrix that Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) gives in the first film, but this video urges a child to take the “red pill” of Brave Books to escape the false reality of “Wokeism.”

“You are here because you know something,” a character in a suit and black sunglasses says as the video opens. “What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. Do you want to know what it is? Wokeism.”

“Wokeism is everywhere,” the Morpheus-like character continues. “It is all around us, even now in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you play in the ball pit or when you go to sleep in your crib. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth: that you are a slave, like everyone else you were born into bondage. Born into a prison for your mind.”

“Unfortunately, no one can be told what Wokeism is, you have to see it for yourself,” he continues. “This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take ‘Woke Up My Baby,’ the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take ‘BRAVE Books,’ you stay in wonderland, and I tell you how deep the rabbit hole goes.”

The camera then pans away from the man to show a little girl, who seems far more interested in a “juice cup” than in deep questions of reality.

The parody serves as a clever ad for BRAVE Books, a series of children’s books written by conservative authors that promote conservative ideas. Ashley St. Clair wrote “Elephants Are Not Birds,” addressing gender. Elizabeth Johnston wrote “Little Lives Matter,” addressing the sanctity of life. Jack Posobiec wrote “The Island of Free Ice Cream,” showing the dangers of communism. Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, wrote “Fame Blame and the Raft of Shame” about cancel culture. The Hodgetwins wrote “More Than Spots and Stripes,” inoculating kids against critical race theory.

ABOUT: Brave Books, was founded by conservative parents, who while trying to raise their children to love their God and country, became aware that there is a real war going on for the hearts and minds of the next generation. Unfortunately, it’s a one-sided battle. That’s why Brave Books created a conservative alternative to the current progressive agenda that dominates our culture.

RG22-05 Mark Wilhelmsson and “Our Child’s Keeper”.

January 31, 2022January 31, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guest Mark Wilhelmsson, on air from February 1st

Our child safety journey began just after our son Markus turned two years old. He was sitting in his highchair eating some fresh fruit that I had cut up for him for breakfast, but little did I know that just moments later, everything would change.
As I was watching him eat, all of a sudden, he just froze. Everything stopped. I instantly knew something was very wrong, and then I realized he couldn’t breathe. He was choking. He dipped his head slightly and looked up at me, and in his eyes—the only way I could possibly begin to describe it—was a look of silent desperation and panic.
What I felt at my core while looking in his eyes was the sense that he was calling out to me to save him. But here’s the thing: I didn’t know how.
Fact is, I had never learned a core set of fundamental life-saving skills that we all should know as parents, but the reality is, most parents simply do not know any of them. I certainly didn’t… but I decided to make it my mission to change that as parents need to be prepared for the unexpected—because our children deserve it!

“I believe our children are silently begging us as parents to lead them, to be their source of protection and safety, to hold them up. They’re right, and they deserve it! Our primary responsibility is to protect and keep our children safe. It’s #1.”
