Young people can do amazing things to make the world a better place. Makes my day when they go for it. https://t.co/pJ15JuPjk5

Can't think of a better way to spend a day than with amazing, creative, and kind students @FortHuntES and super dedicated teachers like @mrspazfhes. Thanks for having me.

Tired of battling with kids about cellphones? Had great interview with two experts for this episode of #parentpeptalk. Hopefully helps you know when and how to introduce kids to smartphone, set limits and bring peace to your home (at least try). https://t.co/9uZHeSbIQF.

Loved hanging out @RiversideSchool for newest episode of #parentpeptalk on how #dyslexia is a challenge but also a gift. Hear why our panel of kids with dyslexia said they wouldn’t want it any other way. I agree, by the way. https://t.co/28e3eXDxQW. @safekids

[Gary Karton @garykarton]

Thanks @RiversideSchool for being so gracious, but even more for all you do to inspire those incredible kids and help them develop the confidence to do whatever they can imagine. A gift every kid, with dyslexia or without, deserves.

My aunt called me taco flavored, cheese covered, grape, because that's all I ate. I'm better now. The newest episode of #ParentPepTalk tackles what to do if you have a picky eater plus truth about veggies, fast food, organic options. Enjoy. https://t.co/28e3eXDxQW.

[Gary Karton @garykarton]

Thanks @JennyTurnbullPB. That was definitely fun interview with @nickpattonillo. So many really smart people in the world and so much potential when we can share with each other and learn from each other. Plus it's just really interesting and fun.

[Jenny Turnbull | Children's Author @JennyTwrites]

@garykarton I did some research and discovered this tip was yours. I also listened to your full episode with @nickpattonillo So inspiring. Thank you both!

It's one of our biggest challenges as parents: How do we find right balance between giving kids freedom and making sure they’re safe? Some people call it #freerangeparenting. We’re trying to help with this next episode of #ParentPepTalk. https://t.co/9uZHeStkff

[Gary Karton @garykarton]

Can't wait to meet the amazing kids @RiversideSchool. Kind of reminds me of the X-men mansion: A place that celebrates extraordinary kids.

In new episode of The #ParentPepTalk, one dad shares what he calls a “humiliating” story of sideline rage. Talk about #TakingOneForTheTeam. https://t.co/Jb4XsTc54h

#ParentPepTalk launches today. If you’re a parent, please know we have your back. Because parenting can be tough, but I truly believe it’s better when we learn from each other, support each other, and know we’re not alone. Check it out on iTunes or https://t.co/9uZHeStkff.

[Gary Karton @garykarton]

In this preview of the first episode of the #ParentPepTalk, our first guest, @bethcabrera reminds us about an important similarity between being a parent and being on an airplane. We’re launching on Feb. 1. Check us out on iTunes and your podcast app.

[Gary Karton @garykarton]

Is parenting supposed to be this hard? Only if you’re doing it right. The #ParentPepTalk launches Feb. 1. Here’s the origin story. https://t.co/0NRbDbCJ8T

[Gary Karton @garykarton]

Things that make bad mood impossible: Root beer milkshakes. Playing in ocean. Opening number of Tony’s. Great job last night by @joshgroban @SaraBareilles and everyone who shares talent so generously. https://t.co/Mp1ElYsaji

[Gary Karton @garykarton]

Real leaders give credit, accept blame. Too bad far too few in Washington. Wouldn’t it be nice if just one so-called leader (@speakerryan) said, “partly our fault too”? Let’s do better than #TrumpShutdown, #SchumerShutdown and teach kids blaming others isn’t path to greater good.

[Gary Karton @garykarton]

The big finale. A huge thanks to Lucy (12), Will and Charlie (11), Sophia (10), Madeline (9), Will G (8), Kate (7) and all the others you’ve already met. Let’s root for lots more creativity and kindness to come in the new year and beyond.

[Gary Karton @garykarton]

Now we’re building some momentum. Will is amazing, caring, and cool in all the right ways #runsinthefamily. And he’s funny, too, as you’ll see here in Day 6 of 12 Days of Christmas (Boondoggle style). The second Ella of the show is the perfect anchor in day 5.

[Gary Karton @garykarton]

Ruby delivers in Day 4 of 12 Days of Christmas (Boondoggle style). Here are 4 funny words from #TheLastAkaway and #RockofSarraka: Winklepicker, Rapscallion, Crotchety, Bunghole, (which is not a bad word like some people may think. It’s just a hole for emptying a keg or barrel.)

[Gary Karton @garykarton]

Introducing Emerson in Day 3 of 12 Day of Christmas (Boondoggle style). Thanks Emerson for being smart and original and everything that is great about kids.

[Gary Karton @garykarton]

Great job by Abby, who makes her debut, in Day number 2, of 12 Days of Christmas (Boondoggle style).
