Not a high achiever. Not a perfectly behaved child. But someone who is kind, grounded, resilient… and emotionally aware. In this episode of The Story of Us , Jeff sits down with educator, consultant, and author Rosemary Olender—who has spent decades working inside classrooms, schools, and family systems—to explore what actually shapes a child. This conversation goes beyond parenting advice. It’s about the everyday moments… the conversations we have… the behaviors we model… and how those small things quietly shape who our children become. Drawing from over 20 years of experience as a teacher, principal, and director of special education, Rosemary shares what she’s seen change in today’s families—and what still matters most. Together, they explore: Why character matters more than achievement What emotional intelligence really looks like in real life The biggest mistakes parents make (often without realizing it) How families and schools can work together more effectively What it means to raise children who are prepared for life—not just success This episode isn’t just for parents. It’s for anyone who cares about the kind of humans we are raising—and the kind of world we’re creating. 🎯 What You’ll Take Away Why children learn more from what you model than what you say How to build emotional intelligence in everyday interactions What strong families do differently The importance of communication between home and school How to shift from reactive parenting to intentional guidance 🌍 Key Themes Character development Emotional intelligence Parenting with intention Family dynamics Human connection 👤 About the Guest – Rosemary Olender Rosemary Olender, MS, CAS, is an educator, consultant, and non-fiction author with decades of exp…","meta_description":"What does it really mean to raise a “good” human?
