How many times as a parent or caregiver have you stressed out not knowing how to handle a situation? (Ran out of fingers and toes to count here!) Questions about curfews, social media rules, whether we are being too strict or not strict enough, or even dealing with a toddler meltdown can make us worry if we're doing or saying the right things. The reality is even the moms, dads, caregivers who look like they have it figured out really don’t. There is so much self-doubt that comes with being a parent. We don’t get a ‘How To’ guide after all. Each week on Raising Me, Emmy-award winning journalist and mom of 3 Adrienne Stein will talk with the experts about what we’re all navigating with our children. Things like dealing with bullies, fear around school threats, figuring out how and when to effectively discipline, and how to talk with our kids about money, especially when difficult choices need to be made. We'll learn simple and practical ways to be a better parent and person. Follow along for the new episode dropping every Tuesday morning. Welcome to Raising Me!

This week, the conversation centers on the power of reading and how to nurture a lifelong love for it in children — whether they’re reluctant readers, struggling to keep up, or avid bookworms in search of their next great story.
Melinda “Mindy” Butler, chair of the Department of Literacy, Language and Culture at the University of Southern Maine and assistant professor of literacy education shares her expertise. Butler offers insight into why reading is essential—whether children are flipping pages or listening—and how parents can support their kids in discovering the joy of books.
She also introduces a new phrase to the vocabulary: the “homerun book,” a term that might just change how you think about reading success.
