kidCLANS #8: 10 Questions For My Grandson Sam

kidCLANS #9: Sick & Medicated: What happens when you podcast at 20.4%.

Simon is a good kid. At 17, he’s already impressive. Sometimes I think I’d like to be him when I grow up. I’m grateful he was here to chat with. Lot’s of transitions going on in thew Buckley house, and a great deal of illness…including grandbabies in the hospital as I type this. These are challenges we’ve faced for years…but when it rains… All the plans for episodes have been put on hold. I can’t get to anyone to talk to them, so I turned to Simon for help. He’s had a desire to participate on kidCLAN’s to talk to youth, so why not today? To make things interesting, I asked ChatGPT what kind of questions I could ask a 17 year old. …then we lowered the difficulty to what I asked the 5 year olds. Have a listen. Enjoy yourself.

kidCLANS #8: 10 Questions For My Grandson Sam

Before we had to take the boys back to mom and dad, I wanted to spend a moment with Sam. I’ve always considered my children creative anomalies, but when they started having children of their own, something morphed. They gave life to super-creatives. Children with minds so fast and without limits, I take whatever time I can just to have conversations with them, just so I can fill my own creative tank. Sam is Charlies older brother, and these two wonderful boys have am exceptional relationship: they always choose each other. In today's episode, I ask Sam 10 creative questions, just to see what he’d come up with. Hope you enjoy the conversation.

kidCLANS #7: Hanging Out With My Grandson Charlie

I love having conversations with my kids and grand-kids. Today is no exception. This week we had three of our grandsons over for a few days. It was nice to have some help with gathering eggs and taking care of the cows and sheep, and then have some downtime to visit. Charlie was kind enough to take some time and have a conversation with me. Now that Substack has a new transcript function in BETA, I’m going to encourage you to check that tab out and go opver that while the podcast plays. It’s kind of fun. Hope you enjoy the conversation…cause we did. Get full access to kidCLANS at www.kidclans.com/subscribe [https://www.kidclans.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]

kidCLANS #6 Weaving the Fabric of Family: Creating Cherished Memories for Generations

Hello, hello, HELLO! This is your host, Jaime Buckley, and this is the kidCLANS podcast, Episode 6… I’m on fire this month of August 2023 — because my mind is on family TRADITIONS! How important they are, what they do for our families, BOTH yours and mine…and today…How we can make LASTING MEMORIES through traditions. The more I talked about this to my own family, the subject of creating lasting memories and a sense of nostalgia came up. I think it was due to the example I gave last time about Candy Week and spending time with Grandma,…a wonderful person to have around for a special week each year in December. Good news is, we get her ALL the time now, because she’s moved in =) WooHOO for us — we’ve been trying to get her to move in for almost 10 years now… Do you have specific traditions that have created lasting memories in your family? …and I’m talking about GOOD memories by the way, not like Uncle Buck drunk under the Christmas tree, making it impossible to get the presents out for the kids kinda memories. Well I have FIVE specific examples I’d like to suggest of how family traditions can contribute to creating lasting memories, strengthen bonds between family members, and evoke a sense of nostalgia.

Parents who explain the meaning and purpose of family traditions to their kids, will expose that same stupid to a Tsunami of value, strength and happiness. I’ve done it many times with my children, letting them weigh our family against the world. …and I never get tired of the results.
