Noodles In the Sandbox - Episode 104 - Peace Table vs. Punch in the Face

Noodles in the Sandbox

In today’s episode of Noodles in the Sandbox, we’re diving headfirst into the power of frameworks. We all know how chaotic life can get, especially when it comes to helping kids (or ourselves) navigate new challenges. That’s where frameworks come in. These flexible tools can act as maps, guiding us toward better decisions, more intentional actions, and clear communication. But here’s the real question—can frameworks really help foster creativity, or do they box us in? And how do frameworks actually perform…in the wild? Outside of the safe walls of a family home or school, are they actually effective? We’ll break down how these “recipes” for learning work, when they’re useful, and how you can start using them at home to raise more resilient, thoughtful humans. Grab your notepad and let’s get to it!
