As busy parents, it’s essential that we learn effective strategies to help our children navigate the different stages they go through and the challenges that arise at each stage. Whether our children are in kindergarten or about to enter middle school, we must help them to handle any difficulties they may encounter. 

Ashley Bartley, M.Ed., NCC, is a school counselor, author, and curriculum writer. She earned her B.A. in Psychology from the University of Virginia and her M.Ed. in School Counseling from the College of William & Mary. She is the creator of Counselor Station, where she develops curriculum and resources for busy school counselors. Ashley lives in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with her husband and three young boys.

In today's episode, Ashley and I discuss how you can help your child with time management and how to establish routines in your home to make mornings go more smoothly.
