									<p><strong>Today we are sharing an article written by Cynthia Dvorak from </strong><a href="http://ScreenLessPlayMore.com"><strong>ScreenLessPlayMore.com</strong></a><strong> and host of the Screen Less Play More podcast.</strong></p><p>The reason we&#8217;re excited to share this guest post is because my wife and I (and now our son too) have done &#8220;Wifi-Free&#8221; Sundays for over a decade as a way to take a tech peace pause every week&#8230; and so when Cynthia sent us her article, we thought it was the perfect strategy to share with screen-fatigued families on our email list. We hope you enjoy it!</p><hr /><p> </p><p>I know you might shudder when thinking about an entire day without the crutch of screens. Especially when you have to take care of your children. But rest assured, there’s a way to unplug that doesn’t include screaming obscenities or hopping the next jet to Vegas.</p><p>Start small. Have a plan. Understand why.</p><p>My sons were about 3 and 5 when we started this journey. Prior to this, every moment that they weren’t watching a show, they were begging for one. And every time I told them to hand over the iPad, they attempted a Bluey-induced coup.</p><p><strong>So I introduced Screen Free Sunday.</strong></p><p>My sister thought I had lost my marbles.</p><p>For the first two weeks, my sons asked if they could watch a show about ten times per minute. But by week three, they never even asked. Never. They realized that mom was serious.</p><p>Once they had time to play and “nothing better to do,” they got so creative. I was amazed by the games they invented, the imaginary worlds they inhabited, and the laughter that ensued.</p><h2><strong>How to logoff without going loco</strong></h2><p>I am not by ANY means suggesting that you go white-knuckle, COVID-lockdown-style and wake up with no plans and tell your screen fans to “go play.” That, my friends, is a recipe for a trainwreck crashing into a dumpster fire.</p><p>Start small.</p><p>If your household is used to grabbing a tablet or a TV any time that boredom strikes, you’ll need to take this in bite-sized pieces. Maybe your first Screen Free Sunday will be from breakfast until lunch. Maybe it will be from sundown to bedtime.</p><p>Going screen free is a skill that must be learned and a muscle that must be strengthened. At first, your kids are going to whine “I’m bored,” about once per minute&#8230; But boredom is healthy. You’re going to feel that itch for instant Instagram gratification. The more you go without, the better you’ll get at it.</p><p><strong>Have a plan. I’m serious.</strong></p><p>While you are new at Screen Free Sunday, you might benefit from getting out of the house. That saves you from the usual screen routine (and temptations.) Some families find it helpful to have a standing date every Sunday morning like swimming lessons, or church, or breakfast out with the grandparents. Some prefer to choose an activity the night before and mix it up each week. We tend to do a little of both.</p><p>But don’t wake up and ask “what do you guys want to do today?” You’re asking for trouble!</p><h2><strong>Screen Free Ideas Away From Home</strong></h2><ul class="unordered_list"><li class="list_item">​<a class="ck-link" href="https://preview.kit-mail3.com/click/dpheh0hzhm/aHR0cHM6Ly9wbGF5Y2hpYmFsbC5jb20vc2Nob29scw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Play Chi Ball &#8211; together!</a>​</li><li class="list_item">Go to the park!</li><li class="list_item">Ride bikes to a fun destination like a restaurant or library.</li><li class="list_item">Hike in nature</li><li class="list_item">Play games or make art</li><li class="list_item">Check out a museum (many libraries offer free passes)</li><li class="list_item">Go swimming at the local pool, ocean, or indoor rec center!</li><li class="list_item">For older kids, try an escape room!</li><li class="list_item">Get creative at a pottery studio.</li><li class="list_item">Visit the zoo!</li><li class="list_item">Get your nails done together!</li><li class="list_item">Visit an indoor playground!</li><li class="list_item">Check out the children’s museum.</li><li class="list_item">Visit <a class="ck-link" href="https://preview.kit-mail3.com/click/dpheh0hzhm/aHR0cHM6Ly9zY3JlZW5sZXNzcGxheW1vcmUuY29tLw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ScreenLessPlayMore.com</a> for LOTS of screen free activity ideas</li></ul><p><strong>You Don’t Have to Leave the House to Go Screen Free</strong></p><p>Maybe going outside this week is too cold or too hot&#8230;. But if you are going to unplug at home, you still need a plan.</p><p><strong>In “The Opt-Out Family” author Erin Loechner suggests that we “imitate the algorithm” in our real lives. </strong>When you open up Instagram or TikTok, the video is already rolling &#8211; there’s no need to press play. Thus, instead of asking your kids what they want to do, have a game or toy already laid out before they wake up.</p><p>Kids are much more likely to get engrossed in play if the board game is already set on the breakfast table than if they walk into the kitchen and you ask, “do you guys want to play a board game?” (The answer I get is always ‘no.’ But if I start playing, they always join me.)</p><p>Similarly, if my kids start whining that they’re bored, nothing I suggest ever seems to placate them. However, if I grab a picture book and start reading, they’re immediately engrossed. Or, if I set out a bunch of loose parts (markers, rocks, sticks, cardboard boxes) I can ignore them (i.e. read a book), and they get lost in creation.</p><p>Keep these ideas in mind for the moments when you’re ready to pull out your hair (and pull out the iPads.)</p><p>I must admit that the secret ingredient to sanity is to <strong>go outside</strong>. That can be as simple as reading a book on the porch, playing hopscotch on the sidewalk, or looking for ladybugs in the backyard. Like I said, it may be too hot or too cold some days. But I find that if we are dressed appropriately for the weather, the outdoors helps me avoid getting overwhelmed. I think you’ll find that it is usually a messy house that overstimulates you, not your kids.</p><p>The gold standard is that you can wake up on a Sunday, and your kids start to play on their own. (Had you told me in 2020 that my kids would do that someday, I would have laughed you out of the Apple Store.) But after almost 5 years of Screen Free Sunday, that is exactly what happens. My boys wake up, and not once do they ask to turn on the TV. They know that I’m going to say no because I have been for 5 years. Consistency is key.</p><h2><strong>Screen Free Ideas for Indoors</strong></h2><ul class="unordered_list"><li class="list_item">Hide and seek</li><li class="list_item">Solitaire or other card games</li><li class="list_item">Learn to sew together</li><li class="list_item">Have the kids make a scavenger hunt for each other</li><li class="list_item">Bake something yummy together!</li><li class="list_item">Roller skate in the garage or basement</li><li class="list_item">Make a fort out of boxes or couch cushions</li><li class="list_item">Invite friends over</li><li class="list_item">Write a letter to a grandparent or friend</li><li class="list_item">Board games</li><li class="list_item">Combine board games to make your own game</li><li class="list_item">Learn how to juggle</li><li class="list_item">Play pretend games like “store,” or “library.”</li><li class="list_item">Write a letter to your favorite author</li></ul><p><strong>Where do I begin?</strong></p><p>I know this can be daunting &#8211; especially with really young kids. But you can do this. And the benefit to your family is enormous.</p><p>If your kids are unfamiliar with free play, try this trick: Ask yourself this- “What activity does my child always want to do when I’m desperately trying to get them into the bath or into the car?” Does he grab a book from the floor and start reading? Does she start building with scattered Legos? Does he chase the dog in the backyard?</p><p>Whatever their default setting is, start there.</p><p>If they enjoy building, set a bucket of blocks on the breakfast table. If they love playing with dolls, put a couple of Barbies at the foot of their bed. You get the idea.</p><p>As soon as the charm wears off, get on to the next thing. It might be building a fort, it might be playing card games, or it might be tag in the backyard. If you’re doing it, they’ll do it. And once they get engrossed, you can slip off to read a magazine or start dinner.</p><p><strong>Screen Free Sunday gets easier</strong></p><p>When my boys were very young, I would set up an elaborate activity in the sensory bin, or some obstacle course I had seen on Pinterest. And without fail, the activities I had spent so long curating kept their interest for only ten minutes at best. Uggg.</p><p>As it turns out, less constructed play schemes tend to invite longer periods of play. You don’t need to be their cruise ship director. Kids innately know how to play, they just need to be invited.</p><p><strong>Open-ended toys are the holy grail.</strong> Think building blocks, loose parts, train sets, stuffed animals, art supplies… or best of all- nature! You will be amazed at the games that kids can create in the backyard with a tree branch. Or a neighborhood stream and a boat made of leaves. They will play for hours. Not minutes&#8211; hours. Just like we all did before the internet existed…</p><h2><strong>What’s the Point of A Digital Detox?</strong></h2><p>Why would anyone in their right mind want to put down the drugs, I mean screens, for an entire day? (Or in our case, from waking until 5:00 pm.)</p><p>Screens are an experience blocker. If you are on social media, playing a video game, or watching TV, you are not doing other things. You’re not reading, hiking, enjoying family, exercising, or sleeping!</p><p>People are on their phones for an average of 4.8 hours each day. Can you imagine if you spent that same time enjoying friends, writing a book, or learning a musical instrument?</p><p>Experience blocking is an especially critical issue for children. Play is the work of childhood, and if they’re watching a screen, they’re not getting the benefits of play. Play promotes self-regulation, independence, critical thinking, emotional well-being, physical development, and so much more.</p><p>If you remove screens, children have the time and space for free play. Just make sure not to micromanage them. Remember all of those toys gathering dust in the basement? Now is their chance to actually use them.</p><p>In addition to giving kids time to play, it gives us adults room to breathe. Take a break from incessant emails or notifications. If your phone is your only means of communicating with family and friends, feel free to take calls or texts as needed. However, I know from personal experience that it is not going to go well if you tell your children to turn off the iPad and then you stare at your phone all day. The benefits of unplugging apply to you as well.</p><p>You’re not doing this as punishment. You’re doing this for the benefits. And after a few weeks, I promise you will crave your Sundays!</p><p><strong>Cynthia Dvorak writes the blog </strong><a class="ck-link" href="https://preview.kit-mail3.com/click/dpheh0hzhm/aHR0cHM6Ly9zY3JlZW5sZXNzcGxheW1vcmUuY29tLw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>ScreenLessPlayMore.com</strong></a><strong> and hosts the Screen Less Play More podcast.</strong></p>								</div>

									<p>In this powerful workshop for parents, educators, homeschoolers, caregivers, and school leaders, Bradley T. Morris, founder of Majik Kids, shares practical ways to help children become empowered creators instead of passive consumers.</p>
<p>If you are concerned about kids and screen time, declining attention spans, overstimulation, lack of focus, emotional dysregulation, or the loss of imagination in childhood, this workshop offers a hopeful and practical path forward.</p>
<p>Drawing from real-life parenting, homeschooling, unschooling, research, and years of work at the intersection of education, entertainment, human transformation, and children’s media, Bradley explores how we can support kids with less screens and more imagination, creativity, movement, emotional regulation, and meaningful connection.</p>
<p>In this workshop, you will learn:</p>
<p>&#8211; How excess screen time affects children’s attention, nervous systems, creativity, and emotional regulation</p>
<p>&#8211; Why modern media often trains kids to become consumers rather than creators</p>
<p>&#8211; How to help kids build stronger focus, imagination, resilience, and critical thinking</p>
<p>&#8211; Why connection and co-regulation are foundational for learning and wellbeing</p>
<p>&#8211; Simple ways to support children’s self-regulation and emotional balance</p>
<p>&#8211; How audio stories, music, meditation, and imaginative play help activate the brain differently than screens</p>
<p>&#8211; Why agency, autonomy, and meaningful choice increase motivation and learning retention</p>
<p>&#8211; How movement and play improve attention, memory, and social development</p>
<p>&#8211; Why contribution and responsibility help children develop confidence, identity, and purpose</p>

<p>Hello out there in Listener Land. Welcome to the Magik Parents Podcast, episode one, the origin story of where it all began. Here we are. Why you looking at me like that?</p>
<p>Celeste</p>
<p>Because you&#8217;re cute.</p>
<p>Bradley</p>
<p>Oh, thanks. Uh, my name is Bradley Morris. I&#8217;m one of the hosts.</p>
<p>Celeste</p>
<p>My name is Celeste Morris,</p>
<p>Bradley</p>
<p>and we have over here to our side drawing pictures who&#8217;s gonna make the occasional cameo appearance when he feels so called and inspired.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">What is your name over there?</span></p>
<p>Sauryn</p>
<p>Sauryn Majik Morris!</p>
<p>Bradley</p>
<p>Booya. So welcome to our first episode of the Majik Parents Podcast. We are the founding family of Majik Kids, where we produce the most magical audio stories, illustrated books, music, imagination meditations, and learning activities for your magical kids. We&#8217;re creating this podcast for parents like you that wanna live more magical, connected, imaginative lives with your kids, as well as for all of you homeschoolers out there that are seeing what&#8217;s happening in the education space and realize that there could be a better way of teaching, inspiring and supporting your kids to blossom into the best versions of who they&#8217;re here to be on planet Earth.</p>
<p>Sound fun. Yeah. Are you ready? Definitely. Yeah. Alright, so in this episode, it&#8217;s kind of like the get to know ya. We&#8217;re sipping here, we&#8217;re drinking some matcha tea. We&#8217;re gonna tell the origin story of: Why Majik Kids? What are we actually trying to do here with Majik Kids? And who are we, Celeste Bradley, and Sauryn, and lifestyle choices that we&#8217;ve made to get to where we&#8217;re at right now.</p>
<p>So which question do you want to start with?</p>
<p>Celeste</p>
<p>Well, I think, what&#8217;s the purpose of this show and who&#8217;s it for? Did you cover that fully?</p>
<p>Bradley</p>
<p>Kind of. But if you wanna add on some spots.</p>
<p>Celeste</p>
<p>Well, this show is really about you getting to know us, wondering how we started all of this and what kind of inspiring things that we can share with folks out there.</p>
<p>Bradley</p>
<p>So. I guess just like taken way back, Celeste and I just celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary at the moment of recording this Sauryn is six and a half years old. We are homeschoolers, we&#8217;re entrepreneurs, we&#8217;re artists, we&#8217;re creators, we&#8217;re village makers. We live on a small rural island called Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, off the west coast of Canada&#8230;</p>
<p>Celeste</p>
<p>&#8230;which is the traditional territory of the Hul&#8217;qumin&#8217;num and SENĆOŦEN-speaking Coast Salish people. <span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">T</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">his is their traditional land, which we are so deeply grateful and honored to be living and thriving on these lands, we do our very best to honor and respect the ancestors and the current ancestors of these lands. And the all the beings at every pulse of every breath of every day.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And we&#8217;re doing this ultimately, so that the future is bright for everyone and that balance is restored and that the natural balance in this world is restored by how we choose to live, by how we choose to relate to one another and with one another. And the reciprocity and care that we encourage in, in our tending.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Bradley</span></p>
<p>And so let&#8217;s dig into who is Celeste? Who are you? What is your role in our family? Who do you play in the world right now? Who&#8217;s Celeste?</p>
<p>Celeste</p>
<p>Teehee! I am mother of Sauryn Majik and my primary devotion and purpose is to mother our child and to be the heartbeat of this home and our family. So, your mother, rest her soul,&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Lori Morris passed away recently. My mother, Ruth Elaine Handley is still alive. And I&#8217;m growing into my matriarch, for our family and I tend the hearth of this home and I do it with a lot of care by choosing intentfully our foods and cooking them by scratch and living a slower lifestyle than what I used to live, I&#8217;d say before we got married.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">The work and the grind of that.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And so now we live on this beautiful little piece of land on this island. We have neighbors who live close by, incredible neighbors. So we&#8217;re doing some village making in our community. I would say that outside of my role in the home, I&#8217;m a community builder and a community safe space creator.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">That&#8217;s what I aim for. I created a sort of online forum when Sauryn was a baby. And it was just a group of young moms who were new to being moms. And we just wanted to get together and over time, because we need each other, you know, in a small island there&#8217;s a little bit less anonymity than there is in a city, and there&#8217;s more opportunity for getting to know who your islanders are.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And you need each other because we&#8217;re a little bit more remote. And so I recognized the opportunity when I had this little space that I started opening the doors to any mom on the island who wished to join. And it&#8217;s been an incredible space now with over 700 mothers, and child bearers and people who parent here who we really care about each other.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And so that has been a very intuitive natural thing that&#8217;s grown. And so I find myself in this role of tending a community hearth and tending a community space. So that&#8217;s been pretty incredible. And what I show up to in this world with, as well as growing my own art. In the last few years, I&#8217;ve really rekindled my love of handcrafts and making, I live a handmade life, but I also have now created an art studio where I create from with my leather work, a</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">mazing garden tool belts and textile arts that I&#8217;m getting into, repairing, repair culture. Just really believe very strongly in the ethos of taking good care of what we have and creating things to last.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Bradley</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And just on the village tending side of things, I mean, village tending, it sounds nice, but in a practical sense, what it a</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">ctually is is creating meal trains when somebody&#8217;s lost a family member. It is work parties when a family is having a baby and we need to get a group of men together to chop their winter supply of wood or to do a house rental for them. It could be just showing up.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Celeste</span></p>
<p>There&#8217;s a lot of talk about villaging and it&#8217;s all a lot of hot air because we can just like imagine what would be ideal. And because most of us are very deeply orphaned in our cultural ability to, or the place that we find ourselves in our crumbling culture, uh, in sense without deep roots intact because we&#8217;re living on stolen lands because we&#8217;re living here on Turtle Island as many, m<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">any settlers and descendants of settlers over many centuries. So here we are, deeply looking for belonging, creating, cultivating what we feel is necessary and true. And I&#8217;ve noticed through the tending of the mama space that it&#8217;s really hugely about the celebrations and the losses in our life that we need practical, everyday care for people and the people who fall through the cracks and aren&#8217;t g</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">lorified in our fast-paced culture, the over-culture that is the dominant culture. Not necessarily, it&#8217;s not normal, but it&#8217;s common that we more value in that culture, that over-culture, you know, the fast-paced, the productivity and the doing. And so people like mothers who are in a space of space of being and creating life and things, you know, are moving at that pace of the small child and mother duo that, t</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">hese people need help. People need help when they can&#8217;t raise, we all know the saying, you can&#8217;t raise a child without a village. &#8220;It takes a village to raise a child&#8221;, but most of us don&#8217;t have extended family around here on this island. Most of us don&#8217;t have extended support. Most of us have dear friends, but everybody&#8217;s drowning in the busyness of life.</span></p>
<p>And it can be hard. It is.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Bradley</p>
<p>It&#8217;s hard. It&#8217;s hard. What we&#8217;ve found, especially in the last, I would say, five years of getting outta baby mode with Sauryn in the last five years of really committing, you with the Mama hive, me with Manventures, which I&#8217;ll get into of building these networks and these relationships, i<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">t&#8217;s been beautiful to see the way people will meet us and the way that people are showing up and that they reflect that. And it really takes the commitment to self start to be like, oh, I see that this is lacking in our life, in my life. That&#8217;s where it started for me is, is loneliness ultimately, and not having like solid friendships and people that were consistent and committed to a longer term friendship, that went beneath the surface.</span></p>
<p>And, the hard work is, is so worth it, and so pure and so beautiful. Do you have anything more to share about yourself? You&#8217;re the most glorious, incredible cook. You&#8217;re amazing cook and baker and Chef. How good is mama&#8217;s food?</p>
<p>Sauryn</p>
<p>Oh, those muffins that she makes are delicious. Oh yes. Watch our YouTube channel for follow Majik Kids. Follow Celeste&#8217;s baking and making, channel playlist inside of our YouTube channel for Majik Kids, &#8217;cause she&#8217;s gonna be doing a muffin recipe soon, right? Yep. Mm. What else do you like that she makes?</p>
<p>Sauryn</p>
<p>Mm. Lots of other things that she makes, she makes a lot of good things.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Bradley</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Mm-hmm. S is a beautiful, she&#8217;s the mama queen of this hive that we have here, and we&#8217;re so grateful for you and your devotion and service to our family. And all the ways that you show up and make our home a home.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Celeste</span></p>
<p>Thank you. That&#8217;s so sweet. Yeah. You guys are the best. And Bradley, how about you give us a little 4 1 1 on who you are?&nbsp;</p>
<p>Bradley</p>
<p>Okay. Well I&#8217;m the Papa Bear. I&#8217;m the husband. I have been an entrepreneur for, I think this is my 19th year, 18th year, something like that. And, I have, I&#8217;ve been consciously crafting the dream life that we get to live by taking consistent, inspired action towards t<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">he visions that we have and the world that we want to see how that&#8217;s looked is I&#8217;m a creative director. I&#8217;m an executive producer with our main company, Majik Media. I&#8217;ve been doing this for a long time. Coaching creators, educators from all over the world. To produce their transformational media.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And, one of the ways that we have done that is to use entertainment as a vehicle to teach and transform. I am, I&#8217;ve been obsessed with golf since I was 12 years old, since the first time I hit a golf ball. I&#8217;m almost 39. And I play pro golf as my hobby and I look, I still aspire to play at the highest level I possibly can. F</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">or me that looks like the Canadian tour. So I train, I play every morning. You&#8217;re very supportive with me to pursue my passion and my dreams. Mind you, I wake up before the sun and I get home from playing golf in the mornings when you guys are just getting out of bed. So I don&#8217;t miss too much of our life minus the morning snuggles.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>I&#8217;m a very driven, motivated, inspired, and passionate person, and I love, activating people&#8217;s gifts in the world. And that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m here to do, is to be an activator. And, in order to do that, I try to live my most activated life. And, I&#8217;ve had a long journey with entrepreneurship that you can read about on my websites.</p>
<p>And also there&#8217;ll be stories that come out in future episodes about lessons learned in both parenting and business and how we apply those lessons to our family and homeschooling our lifestyle and our lifestyle. And that&#8217;s enough about me. Sorin, what do you wanna share about yourself with the people that are listening right now?&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Who&#8217;s Sauryn? What does he love?&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Sauryn</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Well, I love science, like robotics building and yeah, robotics is sort of my thing. I also really love reading comics, fun, adventurous comics, and I like to get good time with my books.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Bradley</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And what are some of the things you enjoy doing with Mama?</span></p>
<p>Sauryn</p>
<p>Reading. Mm. And playing and being with everyone here.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Bradley</p>
<p>And what about with your papa? What do you like to do with me?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sauryn</p>
<p>Play, go on adventures because adventure buddies stick together. I like having adventures with Gnomey &#8211; our house gnome that lives with us. We&#8217;re working on a graphic novel that you&#8217;ll meet Gnomey very soon.&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Right? Yeah. That&#8217;s our current project for Majik Kids &#8211;&nbsp; I like traveling through portals.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Bradley</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Yes. You like going through portals and you&#8217;re the creative director at Majik Kids. And what sort of work do you do at Majik Kids? What are, what roles do you play in the family business? Creative director.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">What does that mean to you?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Sauryn</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Well, I do love creating things. Mm-hmm.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Bradley</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">I mean, you&#8217;ve helped. You and I co-wrote, I think we wrote 12 books together and audio stories. And you do some voice acting. And you came up with the idea, which was one of the most brilliant ideas in my 18 years of entrepreneurship.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">What idea did you have for Majik Kids? About something? About a button.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Sauryn</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">The app?&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Bradley</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Yeah. What did you tell us to do?&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Sauryn</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Well, I walked in, well, we were having a marketing meeting and I said, Papa, we need a button.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Bradley</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And we said, what do you mean by a button?&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And then you held up a picture with a rectangle and a circle in it and you&#8217;re like, we need a button.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">So the kids can just push a button and the stories will pop up, and then the stories will start playing. And we&#8217;ve been working for months on building with our creative team the most beautiful app interface for kids that is gonna feature our magical audio stories every Saturday morning, beautiful Imagination Meditations to help kids explore and learn about their body, their minds, the world life, their emotions and feelings, all the things.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And then also sing-along music so that we can build a really beautiful, incredible library of inspiring singalong music for kids. And it was all your idea.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Can I ask you a question? What&#8217;s it like? When being a kid, when grownups listen to you? How does it feel when grownups listen to you?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Sauryn</span></p>
<p>Like play with me and things? Well, one thing I don&#8217;t like about some people that is really a bit annoying, when I wanna be with them is that they&#8217;re on their phone. I just don&#8217;t like it. Like when I wanna read a book with mommy or Papa, and they&#8217;re on their phone, it&#8217;ll take a little bit.</p>
<p>Bradley</p>
<p>Yeah. That sucks. And because of the whole phone situation in the house what are we building this week? A phone box, to lock those phones away because mommy and Papa have been busted before by Sauryn. And we also value the togetherness time, and there&#8217;s a time to be on a phone and there&#8217;s a time to be together, and we&#8217;re gonna choose the together time.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">So watch that on our YouTube channel about the phone box.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Celeste</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Building a new family culture of togetherness.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Sauryn</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And also you should check out our homeschooling videos, right?&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Bradley</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">That&#8217;s right. What do you like about homeschooling?&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>Sauryn</p>
<p>Well, one, I don&#8217;t like going to school.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Bradley</p>
<p>What is it about school that you don&#8217;t wanna do?</p>
<p>Sauryn</p>
<p>Well, I just really like being with my parents and family, and I don&#8217;t really wanna go away from our house and things for the whole day at school.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Bradley</p>
<p>Right. You wanna be together. And we wanna be together. We do. We&#8217;re honored and grateful that you wanna be hanging with Ma and Pa.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And we&#8217;ve rearranged our lifestyle to support that and in rearranging our lifestyle to support that we accidentally created a whole Majik Kids publishing company. As a way to support your homeschooling and your education. Not only are you co-writing books, but you&#8217;re learning about the creative process.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And getting to understand all of these beautiful skills of turning your ideas into a reality.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Celeste</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">So Sauryn&#8217;s currently giving us lots of hugs right now. Big hugs. Dishing out m</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">ad hugs.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Bradley</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And you did try school. You tried school for a little bit&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Sauryn</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">But turns out. I don&#8217;t like it.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Celeste</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Fair enough, fair enough. Every we honor your choice. And some kids do like it, some kids don&#8217;t like it. We love that you&#8217;re home. We have the privilege of being able to stay home and also just creatively prioritize and redistribute our energy so that we can be home.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Bradley</span></p>
<p>So let&#8217;s pivot into a little bit about Majik Kids, the origin story. Because I call this an accidental publishing company, even though we intentionally created it. I don&#8217;t think we fully realized what we were stepping into when we decided to start Majik Kids. So let&#8217;s rewind.</p>
<p>Celeste</p>
<p>Are you old enough to remember tapes that actually wound audio?&nbsp;</p>
<p>Bradley</p>
<p>Yeah, yeah, yeah. I am that old. Okay, good. Just a second. So. Let&#8217;s just speak to the problem that we see in children&#8217;s entertainment, in children&#8217;s stories and literature, in the times that we&#8217;re living in. Because as you know, when I wasn&#8217;t a parent, I wasn&#8217;t aware of what I&#8217;m now aware of.&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And let&#8217;s just talk about those problems so we can talk about what sparked our deep passion to take action.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Celeste</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Well, I remember you and I decided to talk about our choices with videos and screens and shows just as parents when Sauryn was little and we didn&#8217;t wanna have our kid watching very much shows. It wasn&#8217;t like a daily thing for us.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">We were sort of like, let&#8217;s just intentionally make sure that this child has a curated content that&#8217;s coming into his consciousness as these formative years are so, so precious. Let&#8217;s really be aware of what we&#8217;re bringing in. And so we would watch shows when he was little and choose ones that were really simple and really gentle on the consciousness.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Not a lot of fighting or interesting language or concepts that were sort of beyond where he was at developmentally when he was like a Preschooler, let&#8217;s say. And then we decided, you know, I think that we&#8217;re just going to maybe instead of putting on a show to sort of like keep him busy while I do stuff as our lifestyle thing.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">I don&#8217;t think I really love that. So even though it can be easy thing to turn to as a being at home with my kid all the time, I would rather us use technology to bring us closer together as a connection point than a disconnection point or.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Bradley</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And when he was three, we had that crazy year of, we built this beautiful retreat studio and t</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">hen we had to move abruptly. And we moved twice in that year. He got a lot of screen time because it was a very chaotic point. It came out of absolute need.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Celeste</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">That story is on my mind too.</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Can I elaborate on the story? So basically we, we had this home, we had this business in our home, and we had what we call an unexpected pivot where w</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">e needed to move and we were, you know, 10 days away from moving and our dog (Bonkers) was severely injured and he was needing pretty much all around care at home, and you were working long, long days at home from our home studio. Sauryn was in my care, he was three. And then I had Bonkers in my care and we had to pack up our entire house and, and moved, and studio&nbsp; put most of it in storage and live in a temporary housing for six months.</span></p>
<p>So we had to have all the forethought of what we would need in the temporary home. And the long-term storage. So, needless to say, Sauryn got a lot of shows because I literally had to take the dog outside to rinse and drain his wound, and help him to go to the washroom and to make sure he was comfortable and hand feed him&#8230;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And this was like happening a lot throughout the day. And you know, a bouncy little 3-year-old, I just needed to put him on shows. So I did. And then we moved and then once we recognized how addicted he was, and how his moods were so violent and angry the minute the shows were done, even if there was like forethought in like gearing him to say, this is gonna be done soon.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Okay, we&#8217;re gonna finish. It was chaos. We were like, okay, this isn&#8217;t gonna work for our life.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Bradley</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">It was like, it was a drug. It is a drug. And it was very, very clear to us. And so at that same time when we&#8217;re like, whoa, this is totally not working. That was when we discovered the power of audio stories &#8211; some people might think or have the assumption that a three-year-old wouldn&#8217;t sit and pay attention to an audio story, but that wasn&#8217;t the case for Sauryn.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">We introduced him to audio stories and what we found there was this magic, like let&#8217;s say Mama Bear here has gotta make some dinner and I&#8217;m working, or whatever, and Sauryn needs some support or attention. We would turn on the audio stories and we would give him an activity, something kinesthetic to do.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">So we learned that if you turn on the audio story, he might not pay attention as much, but if you turn on the audio story with some Play-Doh or Blocks or Lego or Coloring Surprise or craft, and he would just like and still does to this day, he goes into the Zone, his imagination turns on and expands.</span></p>
<p>He goes into this kinesthetic focused space while listening to the story, and then Sauryn, we would say to you, like after the story, do you remember what the story is about? And you would recall the story and the characters and the lessons because you were actively engaged in activity while listening.</p>
<p>And so for us, what we found was he didn&#8217;t have the same withdrawal symptoms that happened with screens when we&#8217;d turn the screen off, he didn&#8217;t, or when we shut the audio story off, he didn&#8217;t have the same explosive emotional behavior, that happens from the screen addiction that takes place.</p>
<p>Celeste</p><p>Yeah, I think I had been fostering as well and I just blessed with the type of child who took naturally to having small bursts of independent play since he was really little. I would set out these prompts and just sort of go to the bathroom and when I came back, he would just be playing with some blocks in a bin or something with this audio story.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">So I&#8217;d like the audio stories came in later, but I think I&#8217;d always been like, oh, if my child is playing independently, I am not gonna burst that bubble. Yeah, I am gonna, not gonna be like, what are you doing? Or do you wanna play? Or here&#8217;s something else it would like. So I&#8217;d been fostering that over a number of years.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Just to preface that, that we&#8217;ve been building that into our lifestyle as well by choice.&nbsp;</span></p><p>Bradley</p><p>So now let&#8217;s just talk about the quality of entertainment that&#8217;s available, like starting with movies. Why is it that every children&#8217;s movie or most children&#8217;s movie are about evil characters and bad guys and villains and heroes?&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">I think it&#8217;s damaging and it&#8217;s not helping kids. With children, we wanna keep the quality of their entertainment and stories to be pure, to fill them up, to inspire them, to keep them curious and engaged. And what we are finding, shows are obvious. I mean, you look at anything with Disney and</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">&nbsp;if you&#8217;re really looking at it from a lens of like, this is what&#8217;s conditioning your child in the world to prepare them for life and to help them develop into who they&#8217;re meant to be, you&#8217;ll see that Disney&#8217;s not doing the best job at that. And then you look at the audio stories. When we started listening to audio stories, we just found that there was s</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">o much out there that wasn&#8217;t aligned with our values that we were trying to instill.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Celeste</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Either it was like really hollow content, like just really shallow content that was quite, didn&#8217;t have like a strong moral message or something to encourage. It had a lot of fighting or a lot of language that w</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">asn&#8217;t something I wanted my child to emulate as a way like between characters and how characters might interact. And it teaches behavior, right? Yeah. It teaches how to respond in social dynamics.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Bradley</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And then the ones that were more holistic and pure, the production quality just was lower, e</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">ven on the boring side. And as parents, I mean all you parents out there, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve probably read thousands of books, maybe watched tons of kids&#8217; things. A lot of the stuff out there for kids, it&#8217;s either too mature for the kids and it&#8217;s made for the parents or it&#8217;s not all that fun for a parent to listen to or watch again and again,&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Celeste</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And or it&#8217;s also designed to be</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">&nbsp;repetitive and addictive and to hook your kids&#8217; consciousness into wanting more of it for profit. We won&#8217;t mention Paw Patrol. No. Paw Patrol&#8217;s definitely not meant to keep kids addicted to it and sell toys&#8230; so those are the problems.</span></p>
<p>Those were some of the things that we were very, very aware of.&nbsp;</p><p>Celeste</p><p>I kept being frustrated because I wanna put on something that&#8217;s wholesome and adventurous and actually my kid wants to listen to, but that I also approve of and feels like it&#8217;s contributing to the greenhouse that we&#8217;re creating for our child, the environment that we&#8217;re wanting him to grow within.</p><p>Bradley</p>
<p>And so those were some of the things that we noticed. Sauryn and I are play buddies. We play a lot. We love stories. We make up stories all the time. We play in our imaginations all the time. Right buddy? Yeah. And he&#8217;s upside down on the couch right now. So this is a part of the podcast is all these little sweet little noises &#8211; he<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">&nbsp;is being a kid.&nbsp;</span></p><p>Sauryn</p><p>Fart!</p><p>Bradley</p><p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">That&#8217;s your one fart that you get in this episode. So you&#8217;ve used it up. You can have one per show.&nbsp;</span>So a part of my background in producing entertainment based transformational media is that I understand what it takes to make a good story and to produce something beautifully that people wanna pay attention to.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d never done it for kids. But Sauryn and I were always making up stories. And the ones that he kept asking me to tell, I started to put down on paper. And then one night I have a men&#8217;s group that I started almost five years ago on the island here. Basically every Tuesday night, the group of guys we get together and whatever guys show up that night, choose the adventure the following week, and we&#8217;ve done, you know, some amazing, amazing adventures, creative nights, beautiful heart sharing art, et cetera.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve done a lot of really cool things and in doing those things as men, we&#8217;ve built these deep and lasting bonds of trust and friendship, and so on this one particular night we&#8217;re all gathered. There was about 10 to 12 guys and the theme was to write a children&#8217;s story in a night. And I wrote the story &#8220;The Master&#8217;s Apprentice&#8221;, which was our first book we released.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And when I got finished that night, I was like, I want this to exist. And I understand there&#8217;s some things &#8217;cause I&#8217;ve had a publishing contract with a book publisher in the past, and what I understand about publishing is one, the publishers are gonna pay maybe 5 to 10% on the high end for your book deal.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Two, it could take two to three years to see that book, get it on a bookshelf. And three, book publishing companies don&#8217;t really help authors market their books anymore unless they&#8217;re some of the top, top authors. So I was like, well, why would I go to a publisher, when I have this media business?&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And so we did a bunch of research.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">I hired one of our dear friends who helped about 200 self-published authors get their books out into the world. And we built a team on Salt Spring Island and in 2022, we released 19 magical audio stories. What makes them magical is the idea of movies for the ears or audio movies is we worked with over 70 voice actors,</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">&nbsp;with local musicians and Salt Spring Island is home to some fabulous world class musicians, and they scored the music and the sound effects to really bring the stories and the characters to life and the worlds that we wrote about. And we worked with 11 illustrators, 10 of which came from our talented little artistic island here.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And we released 18 books. And in the process of making all of this, because what happens is when we say yes to the vision that we have and we take inspired action, we start to realize what is actually is as the spirit of the business comes to life and why we&#8217;re actually doing it. One of the why&#8217;s for us is obviously creating&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">alternative entertainment sources for kids that are all the fun of story time without the screen time to get kids back into their imaginations where they be belong. And another piece of it is the artists. If you look at what the average artist earns on Spotify, it&#8217;s literally pennies. And what we need is a world that honors the artists.</span></p>
<p>And the question that I&#8217;ve had this last year since launching Majik Kids is what would happen if the most talented artists were able to devote their talent, their gifts, and their art into honoring, inspiring, uplifting, and empowering kids. And that&#8217;s why we came up with the Fair Trade Publishing model, which basically pays 50% of our revenue back to our artists for book sales, a<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">nd when the app comes out, this Spring app subscription sales as well. So that the goal is that the artists can generate enough income that they can just stay committed and working on things that inspire kids. And just imagine if that&#8217;s the world we lived in, because Amazon doesn&#8217;t do that. None of these big companies, Apple, Spotify, et cetera.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And this is a really big problem because artists are what help to create the culture. They&#8217;re like the glue that keep this culture together in the world. And so our big mission is definitely to reunite and activate families and togetherness and to tell amazing stories that inspire kids without the need to have bad guys in battles all the time.</span></p>
<p>Celeste</p><p>&#8230; who are rescuing everything&#8230;&nbsp;</p><p>Bradley</p><p>And so it&#8217;s been beautiful and a part of it, and this was just an afterthought that came as we started to create all these stories, is like, these stories have values. They have amazing messages and lessons to be learned. And so with every book and audio story we&#8217;ve <span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">created a curriculum that goes with it so that the kids can integrate the lessons and the themes into their lives. And it could be with a parent facilitator, it could be with a childcare facilitator, a babysitter. It could be at your daycare or it could be listening, reading the stories with a classroom, and then doing all of the activities.</span></p>
<p>And literally each story has hours and hours worth of creative adventures, conversation starters, games, activities, all sorts of stuff to help the kids learn the lessons and apply the themes in their own life so that they remember them, so they become an embodied part of who they are. And that&#8217;s been a lot of fun.</p>
<p>Yay. Hooray. Yay. So that&#8217;s a little origins story with Majik Kids and where Majik Kids is going from here is our team is hard at work right now building the Majik Kids app. Imagine something like Spotify for Kids. It&#8217;s gonna house new audio stories on Saturday mornings to replace your cartoons, sing along music and imagination meditations to help kids with their nervous systems.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And then there&#8217;ll be the parent portal for educators and parents to grab all of the learning activities, this podcast, other podcasts, resources,&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Celeste</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">&#8230;to help you with your nervous system, like your meditation series that will live in there.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>Bradley&nbsp;</p>
<p>I built a meditation library that has been enjoyed by millions of people around the world over the last eight years.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And so that will also be inside of the app to support all you parents out there and grownups with your nervous systems and to get back into your own inner child&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Celeste</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">&#8230;embodied deep presence parenting. That&#8217;s right. We&#8217;ll also probably have other inspired content as we discover what is requested and desired by community who chooses to use this, and as we share more of our lifestyle homestead and practical tips in our life.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Bradley</span></p>
<p>So that&#8217;s a wee bit about the Morris Majiks and Majik Kids. This podcast, the episodes that&#8217;ll be coming out. Sometimes Celeste might do a solo episode for Mamas.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Celeste</p>
<p>Yeah, I actually forgot to mention when I was doing my intro that I also share the Sacred Grief work with community and that that&#8217;s a pretty big thread of what I offer other than hosting the mama group.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And, so that&#8217;s possibly gonna be making its way into books, meditations, resources, and, I absolutely love tending the sacred flame of the full spectrum of our life, including our pleasure and our joy, and our grief and our sorrow. And finding a place to tend it, weave it in, and live it and breathe it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">Bradley</span></p>
<p>So. Sometimes it might be a solo episode with Celeste. Might be, both of us, might be a episode out there for fathers around some of the things I&#8217;ve learned, we may bring guests on, if you have requests, if you have questions, if you have things that you&#8217;re curious about with homeschooling, you can write it in to us and we can create episodes about those.</p>
<p>We feel like we&#8217;ve been consciously building our life to be what it is so that we can live a life of service and creativity so that we can be present with our son. And, we&#8217;ve made a lot of mistakes and we&#8217;ve stumbled into some solutions for what we see as some of the biggest challenges facing parents facing education, facing people that are here to honor the children.</p>
<p>And we hope we can help. And have some fun along the way. That&#8217;s right. So do we have anything else we wanna end on here?&nbsp;</p><p>Celeste</p><p>Yeah. I feel called to share a blessing with whoever&#8217;s listening that we&#8217;re so grateful that you&#8217;re here, that you tuned in and that you&#8217;re still listening. It means that there&#8217;s a deep spark alive in your heart and that w<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">e really feel with everything, every fiber of our being, we know how deeply you are needed in this planet and your children and how important every person is, and that the more people that are embodying pure love and sharing whatever gifts you have with the earth at this time. That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re all here for.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">We&#8217;re here to raise the spiritometer as we like to say. Yes, we&#8217;re here to raise the sparkle and the joy and deeply honor all of the pain and the hardships that we are currently growing through as a collective. All of the crumbling of systems, all of the disillusion, everything is necessary and needed to reorganize to a higher order.</span></p>
<p>And we&#8217;re just creating this podcast essentially so we can share more of us and hopefully inspire your greatness because we love you.&nbsp;</p><p>Bradley</p><p>Amen. Hallelujah. Thank you so much for tuning in to our first episode of The Magic Parents Podcast. Follow us, subscribe, like, share, do all the things that you&#8217;re supposed to do at the end of the show.</p>
<p>And if you haven&#8217;t checked out our magical audio stories, go to majikkids.com. Check out the stories. Listen to them with your kids. I would recommend you check out &#8220;Fuzz: The incredible story of a dog&#8217;s best friend&#8221;, &#8220;Beyond the Wall: The untold story of Humpty Dumpty&#8221; or &#8220;The Other Side: The untold story of why the chicken really crossed the road&#8221; or Sauryn&#8217;s&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">claim to fame &#8220;The Inventiest Kid&#8221;, which &#8211; just quick backstory on the Inventiest kid&nbsp; &#8211; so cool. About a year and a half ago, it was a rainy night and we&#8217;re sitting in the living room and I said, Sauryn, let&#8217;s work on a story. So, I pulled up my notebook. He&#8217;s bouncing around the living room as five year olds do, &#8217;cause he is five at the time.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">And I just asked him question after question and he came up with the characters, the inventions, the idea that this kid Steven Screwdriver could invent anything he could make up or imagine, all the names, he came up with the whole story and then I just helped to piece it together. And &#8220;The Inventiest Kid&#8221;&#8216;s a really beautiful story, i</span><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">t&#8217;s a fan favorite and I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll love it as well.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.25rem;">So thanks so much for tuning in! High Five. We did it episode one, the Origin Story of The Majiks. We&#8217;ll see you next time, except we&#8217;re not, you&#8217;re not looking at us. So I guess you&#8217;ll hear us next time. Stay awesome. You&#8217;re the best. Love you. Bye bye.</span></p></div>
