~144~Parents/Teens "New Semester: New Start"
#HighSchoolSemester #ParentTeacherConferences #StudentVoice #IEPAccommodations #SpecialEducation #Advocacy
The new semester is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect moment to reset, refocus, and give your teen a genuine voice in their education. In this episode Cheryl breaks down:
- Why “it’s not them, it’s you” matters and how shifting the focus to your own triggers unlocks real change.
- How to turn the inevitable parent‑teacher meetings from a “he‑said/she‑said” nightmare into a collaborative, “speed‑dating” experience where your teen is 10 % of the conversation.
- Practical steps to co‑create a partnership with teachers, set up weekly check‑ins, and keep the IEP (or any accommodation plan) front‑and‑center from day 1.
- The delicate balance between guidance and helicopter parenting—and how to hand the reins back without sacrificing support.
- Real‑world tools for parents who feel stuck: when a new diagnosis lands on the table, how to find an advocate, decode assessment reports, and move from overwhelm to action.
Whether you’re a single parent juggling work, a busy family, or simply looking for a fresh strategy to empower your teen, this episode gives you a step‑by‑step roadmap to start Semester 2 on the right foot—together.
