0:20.0	She said, one day, my 10-year-old was in
0:23.6	tears over math. I tried my best to help, but I ended up in tears as well. That very night,
0:30.2	I received an email offer for CTC Math. The following Monday, we reviewed the curriculum together.

0:53.3	Good afternoon, Melissa.
1:14.6	It's good to be back. Hello, Julie. Hi. I was thinking about this time of year and how January, by the time this airs, it'll be February, but January feels like it was 11.1 days.

2:12.8	I'll say that, you know, once they become teenagers, nature study isn't the magical cure-all that it was when
2:19.1	they were tiny. That's true. And actually, it is good to remember that getting outside,
2:24.9	even in pretty cold weather, is a good antidote. I remember when I used to train for marathons,

2:36.0	and just knowing that I was going to be outside a couple of days a week for a little while
