1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: Hey, parents, did you know that I have dyslexia? Yeah. 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: For people with dyslexia like me or other learning challenges, 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: things like reading and focusing can be hard. But did 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: you know we also are known for having superpowers well 5 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: as a homeschooling family. We've tried countless reading programs for 6 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: our family that just have not been very helpful until now. 7 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: A few months ago, we began a new journey with 8 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: the Nectar Group. They have a completely different approach that 9 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: uses neuroscience to evaluate and resolve the root causes of 10 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: learning difficulties. Monday through Thursday, my son spends an hour 11 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: one on one with one of their coaches on video 12 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: as they work together towards accomplishing his goals. It's still 13 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: early in the journey, but we are seeing noticeable growth 14 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: in the areas he scored lowest in during the pre evaluation. 15 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to update you further in six weeks as 16 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: we track the progress. If I see success in this 17 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: program for our family, I will be shouting it from 18 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: the rooftops. So visit the link down below in the 19 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: show notes to learn more about the Nectar Group, or 20 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: go to the nectargroup dot com. And now back to 21 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: the show. As Emer woke up, she blinked her eyes 22 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: and wait a second, is today the day? Today's the day? 23 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: She raced downstairs and wait a second, what is Emer 24 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: talking about? Oh? Yes, today, Emer is getting a trampoline. 25 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: She had been looking forward to today for a very 26 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: long time. You see, her mom had gotten a trampoline, 27 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: but it took a long time to get there, and 28 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: finally today was gonna be the day. She couldn't wait. 29 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: Is it here yet? Mom? She said, Uh, not yet, dear. Well, 30 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: let's eat some breakfast first and then I'm maybe it 31 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: will be here soon. Emer gobbled down her breakfast and 32 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: then raced to look out the window. Have you ever 33 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 1: waited for a package to arrive and it just feels 34 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: like it takes forever? Yeah? Me too, well. Emer waited 35 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: and waited and waited, staring out the window as her 36 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: forehead was stuck to the glass, that's how hard she 37 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: was looking out the window. She was able to pull 38 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: off her forehead off of the window and it left 39 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: a little mark on the window. She had been leaning 40 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: against it for two hours, waiting for the delivery truck 41 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: to arrive. Oh no, can you check the tracking number 42 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: to see if it's still on the way, said Emer. 43 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: Her mom pulled up her phone and clicked on the 44 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: tracking number. The tracking number is a pretty cool thing. 45 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: When you're waiting for a package. Sometimes you get a 46 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: number or a special message that you can click on 47 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: and it tells you where the package is and when 48 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: they think it might get there. All right, Emer, it says, 49 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: it says it's out for delivery and it should be 50 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: here any minute. Why don't you keep looking and maybe 51 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: you can play a little bit. Emer was too focused 52 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: to play. She just couldn't wait. There's a truck. Look 53 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: down the street. That is a delivery truck. I hope 54 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: it stops at our house. As the delivery truck was 55 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: driving up the street towards their house, she was hoping 56 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: and hoping and hoping that it would stop. And yes, 57 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: it stopped right in front of their driveway. They're opening 58 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: up the back door. Emer shouted, Oh boy, I hope 59 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: it's the trampoline. And the door opened and a huge 60 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: package was pulled out. It needed two people to bring 61 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: it all the way to the door. Wow, that's gotta 62 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: be it, right, I think so. Dear Emer and her 63 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: mom were eagerly waiting at the door, and sure enough 64 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: that was the trampoline. Yes, her mom had ordered the 65 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: special setup package, so not only was it being delivered, 66 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: but they would also put it together for them. Oh wow, 67 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: that looks really complicated, said Emer. As they opened up 68 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: the trampoline box. It was full of all kinds of pieces. 69 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a big trampoline before? Yeah, they're humongous. Well, 70 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: they don't arrive as a big trampoline. They come in 71 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: all kinds of little pieces that you then have to 72 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: put together, and it takes a long time, but with 73 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: the professionals it goes a lot faster. As Emer waited 74 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: and waited, she felt like it was taking forever. Learning 75 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: to be patient is a really important thing. Do you 76 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: know why? Yeah, because there's all kinds of things in 77 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: life that we have to just be patient for. And 78 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: is it better to complain while you're waiting or to 79 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: be patient and be excited for the good part. Yeah, 80 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: it's not good to complain. It's great to be excited 81 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: for the good part. And so, as Emer just she 82 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: couldn't wait, she ran upstairs and put on her jumping 83 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: shorts and her jumping shirt and some really fancy jumping socks. 84 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: Have you ever seen jumping socks before? Yeah, they're pretty cool. 85 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: They got sticky pieces on the bottom so that you 86 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: don't slip, and yeah, they're pretty cool. As she came 87 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: back downstairs, there it was. The trampoline had been put together. Yes, Mom, 88 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: can I go jump on it? Absolutely? I want to watch, 89 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: said her mom. They both ran outside and she couldn't 90 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: believe it. It was totally massive, this trampoline that showed up 91 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: in that box, which it was a big box, but 92 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: it looked so small now compared to the trampoline all 93 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: set up. She climbed up the ladder and went inside 94 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: and zipped clothes the screen that went around it. Do 95 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: you know those screens that go around the trampoline. Yeah, 96 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: those are really important that keep us safe, and so 97 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: we always got to make sure that there's zipped clothes 98 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: when we go inside. As emer started to bounce, boom 99 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: boom boom, what was that? She noticed something came flying 100 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: out of the center. Ah, it looks like some kind 101 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: of slime monster. Look at it, mom, Ugh, what is that? 102 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: They both said. With each bounce. Out of the middle 103 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: of the trampoline came flying out all kinds of different 104 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: colors of some kind of slime creature. Wait a second, 105 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: as it landed on the trampoline, it was not alive. 106 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: It was not a monster. What is that? There was 107 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: a green one and a blue one. It looked like, uh, 108 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: maybe the size that you'd scoop out with a spoon. 109 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: What is that, mom? It smells like jello jello, said 110 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: her mom. That can't be, but it actually was. Emer 111 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: and her mom had discovered some kind of magical trampoline 112 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: that every time that you jump on it, it would 113 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: launch out different colors of jello into the air for 114 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: you to catch in your mouth. What on earth is 115 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I need one of those in my backyard. 116 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: That's so cool, Emer, Wow, I can't wait. Wait what's 117 00:07:53,960 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: gonna happen next? As Emer jumped again jump, another red 118 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: piece of jello flew into the air and she caught 119 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: it in her mouth. Wow. We need to invite the 120 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: whole world over here, or well, at least all my friends. 121 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: They gotta see this for themselves. Emer was smart. She 122 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: knew that she couldn't eat all this jello by herself. 123 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: She had to share with her friends, and so that 124 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,679 Speaker 1: the rest of that day she and her friends spent 125 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: jumping on this magic trampoline that would launch jello into 126 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: the air, and then then they caught it in their mouth. 127 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: Holy smokes, that's so cool. If you had a magic trampoline, 128 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: what would you want it to launch out of the 129 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: middle with every jump? Hmmm? Maybe skittles, Oh, those are good, 130 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 1: or ice cream scoop of ice cream that would get 131 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: kind of messy. But jello Jello's pretty cool. But I 132 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 1: wonder what you would want in your trampoline. I've never 133 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: heard of this before, but we definitely need to figure 134 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: out where Emer and her mom got this magical trampoline 135 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: because I definitely need a jello launching trampoline in my backyard. Well, friends, 136 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: if you have an idea for a story, I would 137 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: love to hear it.

And so I 142 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: turned it into a story just from a little idea 143 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: from Emer.
