Parenting can feel like a never‑ending cycle of correcting, redirecting, and managing the hard moments—especially when you’re raising kids with different needs, bigpersonalities, or unique challenges. But what if the real transformation happens when we learn to notice the good? In this episode of Raising 10, we shift the lens from what’s going wrong to what’s quietly going right. We talk about the small wins, the unexpected strengths, the moments of growth that are easy to miss when life gets loud. You’ll hear real stories from our home, practical ways to retrain your attention, and simple habits that help you build a family culture rooted in encouragement, confidence, and connection. This is an invitation to see your kids and yourself with fresh eyes. The bright spots are there. Let’s learn to find them.

So many kids are misunderstood, mislabeled, or overlooked —not because they’re broken, but because adults don’t know what they’re seeing. In this episode, Ed Franklin sits down with Dr. Jeffery Knight, founder of Health Empowered Families, to break down what autism really lookslike, why so many children go undiagnosed, and how parents can become the strongest advocates for their kids.

We talk about behavior, communication, sensory overload, and the emotional world kids often can’t articulate. Dr. Knight brings clarity, compassion, and decades of experience helping families understand their children in a deeper, more empowering way.

If you’re a parent, educator, or leader who wants to seekids for who they truly are — not who we assume they are — this conversation will change the way you show up.

Kids don’t hide things because they’re bad. They hide things because we haven’t created an environment where truth feels safe.

Kids don’t hide things because they’re bad — they hide things because they’re human.

In this episode, Ed breaks down why kids struggle to tell the truth, how our reactions shape their honesty, and what it means to create a “truth‑safe” culture at home and at work. This one hits every parent and every leader.

“Truth doesn’t grow in fear. It grows in safety. And the environment you create — at home and at work — determines whether people hide or open up.”
