The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

Children are naturally curious, constantly trying to make sense of the world around them. As a parent, you have a unique opportunity to help them understand that not everything is random – sometimes things exist or happen for specific reasons.
Explain the purpose behind everyday experiences and unusual situations. When something seems strange or out of the ordinary, take a moment to provide context. Help your children understand that what might initially appear weird or confusing often has a logical explanation or serves a particular function.

Capturing Moments: The Importance of Family Photography | Episode 330 4:15

منذ 1 day4:15

4:15

Have you paused to preserve your family's story this year? Family photographs are more than just images—they're time capsules that freeze precious moments that pass all too quickly. These visual memories help us recall specific chapters in our family journey—the year your daughter lost her front teeth, when your son was still shorter than you, or that perfect day at the beach before your teenager discovered independence. Without these visual anchors, these fleeting moments fade from memory. Make it a priority to capture your family together regularly. Whether it's a professional session, a tripod selfie, or asking a friend to snap a quick photo, the important thing is documenting your family as you are right now. These images become increasingly treasured as time passes, creating a visual timeline of your family's unique story.

Memory Helpers: Supporting Your Child's Growing Independence | Episode 328 6:15

منذ 5 أيام6:15

6:15

Let's face it – reminders are part of family life! Even adults need calendars, notifications, and sticky notes to keep track of commitments, so it's perfectly normal when children need memory support too. Young minds are still developing the executive function skills that help with remembering responsibilities and tasks. Instead of viewing constant reminders as failures, see them as teaching opportunities to build your child's memory muscles. Visual tools can make a world of difference: colorful calendars, picture-based checklists, or even simple reminder apps designed for kids. These external memory aids not only help your child stay on track but also gradually build their internal memory skills through consistent practice. By acknowledging that we all need reminders sometimes, you're teaching your child that using memory tools isn't a weakness—it's a smart strategy for success.

Building Social Bridges: Nurturing Your Child's People Skills | Episode 327 5:20

منذ 8 أيام5:20

5:20

Just like reading or riding a bike, social skills don't develop automatically—they're learned through guidance, practice, and real-world experience. Children need our help to navigate the complex world of human interaction. Watch how your child connects with others. Do they struggle with sharing, taking turns, or reading emotional cues? These observations can reveal which social skills need extra attention. Remember that each child develops at their own pace, with some naturally gravitating toward social situations while others need more encouragement. Create opportunities for your child to practice these essential skills in supportive environments. Family dinners can become training grounds for conversation skills, playdates offer lessons in cooperation, and community activities provide diverse social experiences. When challenges arise—as they inevitably will—use them as valuable teaching moments rather than disappointments. With your patient guidance, your child can develop the social confidence they'll need throughout life, from kindergarten friendships to future professional relationships.

Raising Resilient Children: Building Inner Strength That Lasts | Episode 326 5:37

منذ 10 أيام5:37

5:37

The true measure of strength isn't physical prowess or fearlessness, but rather the inner resilience that helps children navigate life's challenges. As parents, we have the privilege of cultivating this inner fortitude in our children—not overnight, but through consistent, intentional guidance. Real strength comes from developing unwavering integrity, persistent determination, and the courage to stand firmly for one's values, even when it's difficult. These qualities don't emerge automatically; they grow through everyday moments that gradually stretch your child's comfort zone while providing supportive guidance. When we help our children develop this inner toughness, we're preparing them not just to withstand life's inevitable storms, but to emerge from them with deeper wisdom and stronger character.

Understanding Conflict: Nurturing Strength and Values in Children | Episode 325 5:35

منذ 12 يومًا5:35

5:35

When children interact, disagreements naturally arise – over toys, attention, or space. While constant fighting isn't healthy, learning to stand up for oneself and one's beliefs is an essential life skill. The goal isn't to raise children who avoid all conflict, but rather to nurture individuals who know when and how to stand their ground. A healthy fighting spirit isn't about aggression; it's about having the courage to defend what's right, speak up against injustice, and maintain strong personal boundaries.

The Art of Meaningful Conversations With Your Child | Episode 324 7:14

منذ 15 يومًا7:14

7:14

Connecting through conversation with your child isn't about forced heart-to-hearts or lengthy lectures. It's about finding those golden moments when hearts and minds are open to truly hearing each other. Think of meaningful conversations like catching butterflies – they rarely come when chased, but rather when the conditions are just right. Maybe it's during a quiet car ride, while preparing dinner together, or in those precious minutes before bedtime. These natural moments often spark the most authentic discussions. The key lies in recognizing these opportunities when they arise. Keep conversations age-appropriate and brief enough to hold interest, but deep enough to matter. Your genuine interest and undivided attention matter more than the length of the discussion. Sometimes, the most meaningful exchanges happen in just a few minutes of true connection. Remember: your intention shapes these moments. When you approach conversations with genuine curiosity about your child's thoughts and feelings, rather than an agenda to teach or correct, you create a safe space for real sharing.

Discipline: A Guide to Positive Child Development | Episode 323 7:27

منذ 17 يومًا7:27

7:27

Think of discipline as 90% teaching and guiding, and 10% punishment. At its heart, effective discipline is about teaching and nurturing – imagine yourself as a coach rather than a referee. The vast majority of discipline should focus on encouragement, patient teaching, celebrating small wins, and helping your child practice good choices. Early, consistent guidance requires much less intervention than correcting established behaviors later. Like teaching any skill, it's easier to help your child develop positive habits from the start than to change course once challenging behaviors become routine. When you spend 90% of your effort on teaching, encouraging, and practicing positive behaviors, you'll find yourself needing that remaining 10% of correction far less often, and only needed when in right circumstances.

Never doubt the profound influence you have on your child's life journey. Every bedtime story, every encouraging word, every moment of patience, and every lesson shared shapes who they will become. You're not just raising a child – you're nurturing the person they'll grow to be. Your daily choices and actions, both big and small, ripple into their future in ways you might not even realize. From teaching resilience through everyday challenges to showing love through consistent presence, you're actively building their foundation for tomorrow. Remember this truth: you're already making a difference in your child's life. Every day, in countless ways, you're helping write the first chapters of their story..

The Power of Play: Connecting Through Games With Your Children | Episode 321 4:20

منذ 22 يومًا4:20

Don't underestimate the magic of a simple game! Whether it's a traditional game of hide-and-seek or an imaginative adventure you create together, playing with your children opens doors to deeper connection and joy. Children are natural players – they delight in the thrill of discovering hidden treasures and giggle with excitement when found in their secret hiding spots. These playful moments aren't just about fun; they're precious opportunities to strengthen your bond and create lasting memories. Challenge yourself to set aside time each day for play. It doesn't need to be elaborate – make up silly games during car rides, turn everyday chores into treasure hunts, or create your own special games that become beloved family traditions. These moments of shared joy and laughter build connections that last a lifetime. Visit me at: https://rogersmithmd.com/ This has been a production of ThePodcastUpload.com…

The Art of Imitation: How Children Learn to Be Themselves | Episode 320 5:23

منذ 24 يومًا5:23

5:23

Watching your child mimic others isn't just adorable – it's a crucial part of their development. Like apprentices learning a craft, children naturally observe and copy the world around them, especially their parents. Those little moments when they try to wear your shoes or copy your gestures are actually powerful learning opportunities. Through imitation, children build the foundation for their own unique identity. Just as artists often begin by copying masters before developing their own style, children use imitation as a springboard to understanding. Each repetition – whether it's copying your words, actions, or mannerisms – helps them grasp not just the 'what' but the 'why' behind human behavior. So the next time you see your little one mimicking you, remember: they're not just copying – they're learning how to become themselves.

Growing Through Parenthood: The Journey of Self-Improvement | Episode 319 4:17

منذ 26 يومًا4:17

4:17

As parents, we often find ourselves in quiet moments of self-reflection, wrestling with frustrations about our reactions, habits, or parenting choices. That desire for change is natural and valuable – but transformation doesn't happen overnight. Real personal growth comes through two powerful channels: the people who touch our lives and the knowledge we gain through reading. These influences shape our perspectives, challenge our assumptions, and help us evolve into better versions of ourselves. While our core essence remains, we can always refine and improve who we are. Remember: you're not trying to become a different person – you're working to become a better version of yourself. Every book that broadens your mind and every meaningful connection that touches your heart contributes to this gradual evolution.

No Such Thing as Bad Weather | Episode 318 4:11

منذ 29 يومًا4:11

4:11

Don't let stormy skies dampen your family's spirit! While many parents rush their children indoors when weather turns rough, these "imperfect" moments can become magical childhood experiences. Let your little ones splash in puddles and feel rain on their faces. Watch their wonder as lightning illuminates the sky (from a safe spot inside), or help them build their very first snowman. These moments of embracing nature's wilder side create lasting memories that your children will cherish long into adulthood. Bad weather isn't a barrier to adventure – it's an invitation to experience the world differently. Bundle up in rain boots for puddle-jumping competitions, gather blankets for storm-watching sessions, or venture out to catch snowflakes on tongues. Every raindrop and snowflake holds the potential for joy and discovery. Visit me at: https://rogersmithmd.com/ This has been a production of ThePodcastUpload.com…

The Logic of Little Minds: Understanding How Children Think | Episode 317 5:29

منذ 4 weeks5:29

5:29

A child's ability to reason logically develops gradually as their brain matures. While adults might see their toddler's behavior as illogical, young children simply haven't yet developed the neural pathways necessary for complex reasoning and deduction. During the early years, children learn best through clear, consistent rules and routines rather than logical explanations. Think of it as providing a framework that guides their behavior until their brain develops the capacity for more sophisticated thinking. As they grow older, you'll notice their ability to understand cause-and-effect and make logical connections naturally emerging.

Just a Minute | Episode 316 4:09

منذ 5 weeks4:09

Young children experience time differently than adults do - minutes can feel like hours to them! This is especially true for younger children, who haven't yet developed a strong sense of how time passes. To help your child build their understanding of time, try using timers during daily activities. For toddlers and preschoolers, start with brief intervals - maybe just 2-3 minutes for a quick cleanup task. As your child gets older, you can gradually increase these time periods. This hands-on approach helps them connect the abstract concept of time with their real-world experiences. Visit me at: https://rogersmithmd.com/ This has been a production of ThePodcastUpload.com…
