Breakthrough Strategies for Whole Child Development | Stephanie Krauss (EP366)

Raising kids in today's volatile world is no small feat. Join me for an insightful conversation with Stephanie Malia Kraus, author of 'Whole Child, Whole Life: Ten Ways to Help Kids Live, Learn, and Thrive.' Stephanie shares her experience as an educator, social worker, and mom, discussing her holistic approach to parenting during these ever-changing times. This episode will help you to discover ways to handle modern parenting challenges and learn how simple practices can profoundly impact the health and happiness of your family.


About Stephanie |

Stephanie is an educator, social worker, and mom of two school-aged kids. Through her experiences teaching and running a school, she knows getting young people to succeed academically does not always mean they are thriving or ready for adulthood. This was true in my own life. As a high school dropout, I needed people and opportunities within and beyond school to help me succeed.

Today Stephanie works at the intersections of education, youth development, workforce development, and human services. Her work and writing focus on what young people need to build lives and futures they love.

Stephanie is the founder and principal consultant of First Quarter Strategies LLC, a senior fellow for the CERES Institute for Children & Youth at Boston University, a senior advisor for Children's Funding Project and Youth-Nex at University of Virginia, and a staff consultant for the Youth Transition Funders Group.

She has written two books: Whole Child, Whole Life: 10 Ways to Help Kids Live, Learn, and Thrive and Making It: What Today's Kids Need for Tomorrow's World. Her work and writing have been featured on NPR, PBS, US News, EdSurge, Scary Mommy, and more.
