Beautiful Language, Beautiful Life with Peg Hollenback Feb 08, 2021

Show notes

Peg Hollenback is a Reading Practitioner and owner of PegEd. She has been practicing since 2005 with a commitment to providing the explanations, not exceptions of the English Language. Upon reflecting over the past 15+ years, Peg said, “I have been so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with many brilliant students that have made me a better teacher.” Dr. Bennett often refers to Peg as HER teacher and she is someone who has greatly influenced Dr. Bennett's own scholarship and the scholarship she shares with her students.

Dr. Bennett and Peg speak about how far they have come in the understanding of language throughout their careers, and how rewarding it is to experience their students benefit from whole language learning.

Connecting through Play with Maria Demosthenous Feb 01, 2021

Show notes

Maria Demosthenous, or “Dr. D” as she is known, is a Board Certified child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist. Essentially, she is a doctor for thoughts and feelings. She uses play, talking, and mindfulness to help children work through challenges. In this episode we talk about the importance of play. Our conversation was interrupted by my own children and they joined in on the conversation with Dr. D! In this episode, Dr. D. gives parents concrete steps in how to mindfully play with their children as a way to connect with them. Best of all, her advice is not new, is evidenced-based, and is free. Our conversation has already shifted my thinking and shaped my own practices as a mother. I know it will help you, too.

You can contact Dr. D by emailing her at: maria@mariademosthenousdo.onmicrosoft.com
