1:44
[SPEAKER_00]: what we believe is relevant for you to listen to and understand what's going on in your community around the world and hopefully we get some
2:00
[SPEAKER_00]: As I will call it footnotes, or maybe some cariots, a cariots of information that you can take on with you somewhere else, something positive you may be able to share with another loved one.
2:20
[SPEAKER_00]: This is our 150th episode and we're going on two years strong, we're all over the world.
2:28
[SPEAKER_00]: If you check out who will listen to us, a lot of people listen to us all over the countries, continents, people do listen and do give out comments.
2:41
[SPEAKER_00]: We want you guys to know we will continue to give you this information the way we get it.
2:50
[SPEAKER_00]: is a tough topic and before we get started, I want you guys to take off your shoes, relax your feet, get you something cold and refreshing, maybe get you something like a coffee, a tea, a latte, do what you like, sit down, relax, cadets is a goodie.
3:13
[SPEAKER_00]: It's too
3:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, as I sat down and I always sit down before I do these episodes, I try to find out something I can give you guys that's relevant.
3:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like doing news as much as I do do it.
3:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like doing it.
3:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I like to give you things, I had a time sometimes, I like to give you things and make you think, you know, community issues, poverty issues, jobs, etc., etc., mental health, mental hygiene, mental health, women's health, women's hygiene, family, college, economics,
4:10
[SPEAKER_00]: development, I try to give you all levels of information.
4:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Life choices, prisons, diseases, we go over it.
4:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And today is a topic.
4:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I went over before.
4:29
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's strange because this topic is probably top five in a nation.
4:41
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like that chicken spot, that Chinese chicken spot, you know about all your friends know about, but we don't want to blow the spot up because they're going up on their prices.
4:52
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what this topic is about, this topic is the same way.
4:56
[SPEAKER_00]: We all know what's happening, but if we bring light to it, it can be fixed and you won't get it on the low no more.
5:05
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to pay like you weigh.
5:08
[SPEAKER_00]: So, literacy is the topic.
5:13
[SPEAKER_00]: We have a literacy crisis in the world today.
5:21
[SPEAKER_00]: This starts at our early age, development and teaching your children and creating good habits.
5:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Because basically, it can be prevented.
5:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's be honest.
5:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's be real.
5:35
[SPEAKER_00]: We can prevent this if we just dedicated some time to the situation.
5:43
[SPEAKER_00]: But yet, as a whole, somewhat, we have no patience.
5:49
[SPEAKER_00]: We're always in a rush.
5:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Things have to be done, deadlines.
5:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Kids got to be picked up from school.
5:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Parents got to go to work and kids need to do homework.
6:04
[SPEAKER_00]: So when an average parent come in to the house, they may ask that child one or two questions about the day, and that's that.
6:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Now the child gets annoyed because they've got to ask questions, the mom is annoyed because, or the dad, they don't really want to ask the question, but they want to have some type of communication between a child and literacy starts there.
6:34
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't care what people tell you, my opinion, my talk, what I think, what I believe is how we can stop it is right there.
6:44
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to understand the biggest thing you can give your child is not a phone at one year's old.
6:54
[SPEAKER_00]: A laptop at one year's old.
6:58
[SPEAKER_00]: iPad, a tablet, at one-years-old.
7:02
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not what you give a child at one-years-old.
7:09
[SPEAKER_00]: When the child begins to crawl and begins to walk, the brain is searching.
7:15
[SPEAKER_00]: The brain is absorbing everything that the eyes can see.
7:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Therefore, we need to give the child things they can re-dephisically and mentally do themselves, not something that will do it for them.
7:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Because then it shows the person or that child at a young age, they don't have to work as hard to get it done because this tablet, this iPad, this smartphone, this calculator,
7:54
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all right that they know what it is, but they shouldn't be that fond of it.
8:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Because when we do that and we push that involvement, it takes them away from the basic
8:22
[SPEAKER_00]: The child needs to fall so they know how to get up.
8:27
[SPEAKER_00]: The child needs to cry so they can notice stop crying.
8:34
[SPEAKER_00]: The child needs to know what's hot, what's cold, and it's the same thing with teaching them how to read.
8:50
[SPEAKER_00]: of breaking away from social media, from teaching our children ourselves, putting the book in their hand.
8:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Our children now are graduating on an all-time high of not knowing how to read.
9:06
[SPEAKER_00]: The education or the educational standards that you're leaving them to educate your child with
9:18
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no standards being upheld in our Board of Education.
9:24
[SPEAKER_00]: So children, teenagers, young adults are being pushed through without proper scoring, accountability and forcing that child to learn it.
9:44
[SPEAKER_00]: So they fall in about a wayside by pushing them through and it won't learn anything.
9:51
[SPEAKER_00]: All this takes effect to your child development, problem-solving skills, crisis intervention skills, the less face it, whether you like it or not.
10:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Go through is learning how to crawl, sit up, walk, talk.
10:18
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a crisis for them.
10:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we don't see it like that, but that's what it is.
10:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And when they finally said, Mama, it is a achievement that we reward them or daddy, dad, dad, whatever it is.
10:34
[SPEAKER_00]: We reward them with that.
10:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And we give them cheers and claps.
10:39
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's an achievement.
10:45
[SPEAKER_00]: So we have to push that in them all the time.
10:49
[SPEAKER_00]: It don't just stop once we hand them a smart device.
10:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Because on these smart devices, there's social media apps and applications there that distract your child.
11:07
[SPEAKER_00]: So when we peeled the layers, let's peel the layer now, when we peeled the layer,
11:14
[SPEAKER_00]: These apps that are being used, distract your child from focusing on learning.
11:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Because now you have Facebook, you have TikTok, you have YouTube, and many other Twitter,
11:45
[SPEAKER_00]: AI, Amazon, sneakers, clothes, so many distractions for that child to go through.
11:59
[SPEAKER_00]: And when it's time to focus on reading and doing schoolwork, they can't.
12:12
[SPEAKER_00]: because they're thinking about what that girl said or what they saw on TikTok.
12:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So we have to understand that this problem will constantly exist unless we change the format.
12:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Over time, I've seen this,
12:41
[SPEAKER_00]: We know this is proven, if you practice and continue to practice, you will get better.
12:51
[SPEAKER_00]: But the distractions that brought to you by these devices and TV will stop you from
13:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you guys remember when puzzles first hit?
13:14
[SPEAKER_00]: First we had the big puzzles when we were a kid.
13:17
[SPEAKER_00]: What it was like four, only four pieces.
13:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe two, and they introduced it to you as a minor, some of you don't remember.
13:28
[SPEAKER_00]: But you started off with a small puzzle.
13:39
[SPEAKER_00]: These devices, these instruments, these tools that will use for a child, help build your foundation on how to read, how to focus, how to work through crisis, not to cry, or
14:07
[SPEAKER_00]: When you work too hard to overload, they gave you a nap.
14:10
[SPEAKER_00]: So you can rest the brain.
14:13
[SPEAKER_00]: So you can refocus when you're up.
14:14
[SPEAKER_00]: You get back up, you're really energized.
14:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Excuse me, these things, all these things that took place in Head Start, kindergarten, help bring the foundation for you to know and learn how to function in today's world.
14:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And we went past that.
14:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, these things are still there, but at our early age, a kid is a year and a half with a tablet in their hand while they're in the car seat, and they're looking at the tablet.
14:47
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't have a clue of nothing because they're not making noise to mother of fathers happy about it, and they're good with it.
14:54
[SPEAKER_00]: But what happened to the conversation?
14:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Why up until the communication?
14:59
[SPEAKER_00]: What happened to sing in the ABCs in the 1, 2, 3s?
15:03
[SPEAKER_00]: What happened to sitting that child down and acting them?
15:08
[SPEAKER_00]: What did you learn today?
15:13
[SPEAKER_00]: What did you have for lunch today?
15:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you know guys?
15:19
[SPEAKER_00]: One of our besties I talk to.
15:21
[SPEAKER_00]: She has a niece, her name is Carrey.
15:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And Carrey has a sister.
15:29
[SPEAKER_00]: and her name is Gabby, and Gabby is older than Carrey.
15:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Carrey's like five, six tops.
15:39
[SPEAKER_00]: And I talked to Gabby first because Gabby's older Gabby's like 13 or 11.
15:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And every day for many moons that I talk with my bestie, I would get on the phone and say,
15:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Put Gabby on the phone, and do you know that conversation stimulated her mind for so many years?
16:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I actually have Pacific questions.
16:11
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I actually have certain questions like, what did you eat for breakfast?
16:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you brush your teeth today?
16:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you watch your face?
16:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you comb your hair?
16:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And they she would laugh because I would ask them so fast.
16:23
[SPEAKER_00]: But she would answer every question.
16:28
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I would ask her for a present.
16:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would say you're going to buy me a bird.
16:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And I give that question to her because I wanted her to remind herself every day to find her dad.
16:42
[SPEAKER_00]: And I knew her dad with good, great friends and say, dad, Jimaine said he wants a bird.
16:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would ask her this, she asked me this question every day that I talked to her, whatever it was and every day, every other day, I would try to repeat this function with her.
17:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Teaching her that we want to keep you involved in conversation, mind, muscle exercises.
17:10
[SPEAKER_00]: It is so important to do that with your child.
17:13
[SPEAKER_00]: So now that car is here and she's younger,
17:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Carry knows that I'm going to ask her certain questions because Gabby, don't tell her, Oh, Jim, he's going to get you.
17:27
[SPEAKER_00]: But I ask Carry a different question.
17:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Carry has little dolls she played with and they all got different names.
17:37
[SPEAKER_00]: And I ask her every time I can get a chance, I say, to Carry, did you feed your kids today?
17:46
[SPEAKER_00]: what did you feed your kids and she would think um now she's lying she ain't fed them nothing man ain't got no these are dolls but it's the imagination are keeping the muscle to move not to tell me the same thing that you told me yesterday because i'm gonna act you well ain't got something you give them yesterday and then the next question when the actor is did you take the kids out to the park
18:15
[SPEAKER_00]: How come I never see you with the kids?
18:17
[SPEAKER_00]: These are things that you make the mind move.
18:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Exercise.
18:23
[SPEAKER_00]: This is what you need to do to your child.
18:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Enter act with your child.
18:28
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not about turning on the TV, YouTube, finding their favorite channel.
18:33
[SPEAKER_00]: They want to watch and tell them, go figure it out.
18:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Could that's what you're doing?
18:39
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no exercise in that.
18:41
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no muscle stimulation in that.
18:44
[SPEAKER_00]: To a certain degree it is, but it's done by a formulated program.
18:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Not what a human acts in another human a question that makes the brain move more.
18:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Because one question leads to another question that leads into more questions.
19:05
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's how you have a relationship and a bond with your loved one because you have an interaction that is genuine, not formatted.
19:16
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's really important that you take this time to talk with your child, get them a brief conversation, ask them what they did today, what you learned in math today.
19:31
[SPEAKER_00]: My kids hated me for that.
19:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I know!
19:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I pissed them off.
19:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I know they curse me out of me if they breath.
19:39
[SPEAKER_00]: But all my kids graduated.
19:41
[SPEAKER_00]: They all can read it and spell very well.
19:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of them went to college.
19:47
[SPEAKER_00]: They all doing what they want to do.
19:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And later on, you know what they tell me?
19:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks dad.
19:53
[SPEAKER_00]: And I ask them, what you're saying, thank you for what we're talking about today.
19:56
[SPEAKER_00]: You push me when I wanted to give up.
19:59
[SPEAKER_00]: You push me when I wanted to turn the other way.
20:02
[SPEAKER_00]: You push me.
20:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thank you.
20:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know what I tell them?
20:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I love you.
20:08
[SPEAKER_00]: You're my boy.
20:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I want the best for you.
20:12
[SPEAKER_00]: And sometimes getting the best out of your children is you cross on the path when you stand by yourself.
20:21
[SPEAKER_00]: And as a parent, don't be afraid to stand by yourself and teach that child the right thing.
20:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Not what everybody else doing, teach them principles and morals, teach them it's okay to be by yourself, it's okay not to be a follower, it's okay to tell somebody know maybe next time, it's all right to do that, not every day is your day to go hang out.
20:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Teach them culture things, teach them environmental things, teach them how to get up in the morning and put out a format of what you want to get done and then execute.
21:04
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not all about laying in the bed to three and a half to noon.
21:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometime you got to get up early and show that child how to put that as a regimen in a life to get things done because getting up early and getting things done you get more done in the day because the date and you didn't sleep through the day.
21:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Some kids don't know that because they never experienced that we have to try to do more things to make our children interact other than go by a format.
21:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Every child does this before they go to bed if they have a smartphone they lay in the bed on the smartphone and look at the apps It's a fact And let's the kid phone is taken away from them by their parents Tending up they do it shit.
21:53
[SPEAKER_00]: We can go lower than that seven and up do it every day.
21:58
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a fact
21:59
[SPEAKER_00]: on that phone or on that P5, P4, P3, whatever it is, computer, every night before they go to bed religiously.
22:08
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you tell them it's time to go to bed, most of the time they get to attitude, they get mad, they upset, and you keep doing the same process every day.
22:18
[SPEAKER_00]: You think they're not going to get upset tomorrow?
22:22
[SPEAKER_00]: You think something posted change?
22:29
[SPEAKER_00]: the change, their direction.
22:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Let them know what's okay to do this, but we're not going to do this every day.
22:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Some days you're going to read a book to me before you go to sleep.
22:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello, hi.
22:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello.
22:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you there?
22:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello, hi.
22:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, a book.
22:47
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not a magical thing.
22:49
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not like the Bible, something you ain't seen in years or you might think just a myth of the Bible.
22:59
[SPEAKER_00]: books do exist.
23:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, they come with paper and ink inside of it.
23:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Some have pictures.
23:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they certainly do.
23:12
[SPEAKER_00]: And you can take two hands and open it up and have words put together.
23:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Alphabets put together the equal words and periods and punctuation marks and commas.
23:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah,
23:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh-huh, and you make that child read it.
23:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Out loud.
23:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
23:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello.
23:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Out loud.
23:38

23:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
23:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Read it.
23:43
[SPEAKER_00]: So they can interact.
23:44
[SPEAKER_00]: You can listen to them read.
23:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
23:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Give them the Bible to read.
23:49
[SPEAKER_00]: A magazine to read.
23:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello.
23:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
23:53
[SPEAKER_00]: When you go into the doctor's office in the magazine sitting there,
23:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of them might look pretty good.
24:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Grab one, take it with you.
24:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Give it to your kid and then back seat.
24:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Tell them to tell me what you see in a magazine.
24:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Read the articles, go to the front, show them the index, the glossary, show them how to look through a magazine and get the sections in different paragraphs and what's to talk about in the magazine and then tell them to pick an article and read it out loud to me.
24:30
[SPEAKER_00]: These are the things that impact your child, like no other.
24:42
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't need to see Ralph McDaniel's new video.
24:45
[SPEAKER_00]: or on hip hop is real alive or on going hip hop and what do you call it loving hip hop and loving hip hop, jeet Georgia, loving hip hop LA, loving hip hop, New York.
24:58

25:04
[SPEAKER_00]: when we got half day body showing on every commercial now they're showing same sex on every commercial it's okay whatever you'd like that show you know it's cool what we push that on kids now that don't know nothing why didn't know it's all right when they get to that stage yet why we got to push it on them so early uh... hello i'm just asking
25:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Who happens to the, you know, just not them find out when they find out.
25:38
[SPEAKER_00]: No, we want to just put it out there.
25:41
[SPEAKER_00]: So not it, this son is eight and seven years old when a dress, when your mom heals, and he thinks it's all right, because he's going to commercial with it, but he don't know that that's a commercial, but he thinks it's all right, will you tell him to get out of it?
25:59
[SPEAKER_00]: He might get offended.
26:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And I understand you don't want to offend him, but he need to know the difference.
26:09
[SPEAKER_00]: So now you're stuck in the pickle.
26:13
[SPEAKER_00]: How about cutting the TV off and all electronics taken away for a couple hours a day?
26:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Why do I add home?
26:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Give them something to do as a muscle exercise, pinning paper.
26:34
[SPEAKER_00]: And before we get into videos, I'm not doing that today, but as we go to different parts of this, and we read and listen and understand what's happening in our schools and board of education, two of the exercises that we start at the beginning, that's why this is first.
26:50
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the very first, your child, you are the first teacher for your child.
26:57
[SPEAKER_00]: You are the first of everything for your child.

[SPEAKER_00]: to the moral, to chase planet fitness, Costco's, the hairplace, the nail salon,
28:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Take them to a spelling B contest.
28:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Take them to a math contest.
28:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Take them to a book reading, a poetry reading.
28:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Take them out to places where you got a function which you're brain.
28:51
[SPEAKER_00]: See that will this reduce the numbers in literacy.
28:57
[SPEAKER_00]: See if parents get more involved, like this, it would change the numbers on the crisis of literacy.
29:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Because parents' chase in the dollar, so they don't have time to teach the child.
29:16
[SPEAKER_00]: So they leave it up to the Board of Education to teach the child.
29:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying, I could be wrong, right?
29:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I could be wrong.
29:38
[SPEAKER_00]: But the numbers don't lie that things have changed.
29:43
[SPEAKER_00]: And I can only say that the 80s babies and the 90s babies and the year 2000 maybe right after 90s babies are out and the formatting and reading and how they educate kids now have changed.
30:00
[SPEAKER_00]: or more formats of computers, social media, and things like that.
30:05
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's might be why the literacy rate has risen.
30:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that possible?
30:15
[SPEAKER_00]: What do we do at work all day?
30:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Cell phone?
30:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Computer, social media.
30:22
[SPEAKER_00]: So the same thing you do at work.
30:24
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't think your child do that at school?
30:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just asking.
30:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I could be wrong, right?
30:37
[SPEAKER_00]: What it could be doing dry buys, I mean, let's face it.
30:40
[SPEAKER_00]: If they're not doing electronics, they're definitely doing dry buys, right?
30:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Because they know about it going the library, right?
30:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody going to open book night.
30:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, no, no, no.
30:58
[SPEAKER_00]: We ain't doing that, right?
31:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's face it.
31:04
[SPEAKER_00]: When they do sleep over that their girlfriend houses, you know, the girls come over, none of them girls are picking up a book and having their book night, own new.
31:14
[SPEAKER_00]: They got their pajamas on, they all got their phones in their hand and their desk, woo!
31:21
[SPEAKER_00]: And I understand.
31:22
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a balanced thing, right?
31:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I understand.
31:33
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to apply different measures, things are getting way out of control, and no one is holding themselves accountable, so I think the parents who should be holding these self-accountable hold these self-accountable.
31:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry, if I hurt your feelings.
31:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry if I offended you, I'm so sorry that you're chasing a dollar and you can't barely read.
31:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.
32:00
[SPEAKER_00]: But you need to understand what you really should focus on.
32:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Your kid is bad as hell.
32:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Can't go to no more schools.
32:08
[SPEAKER_00]: But your mom makes six figures.
32:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Congratulations.
32:11
[SPEAKER_00]: The balance, right?
32:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello, hi.
32:15
[SPEAKER_00]: What's more important?
32:18
[SPEAKER_00]: You're providing for your family or your kid learn how to read.
32:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Spell, Behave.
32:28
[SPEAKER_00]: conduct himself, where he don't get itself locked away, like majority of the teens that 17 to 35 years old, that's incarcerated throughout Illinois, Nevada, Wyoming, Kentucky, Washington, you name the state, the prison of the air, and he full up with minority people.

33:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's implement a different way of teaching our children.
33:32
[SPEAKER_00]: So we might can get better results.
