Listen Later

As a parent, you want your child to feel safe, supported, and engaged in their learning. But what happens when something feels off? If your child dreads school, struggles academically, or faces ongoing challenges that aren’t improving, you may be wondering: Is this the right school for my child?

In this episode, I’ll walk you through:

  • Common reasons parents start questioning their child’s school fit, including:
    • A lack of support for learning differences or special needs
    • A mismatch between your child’s learning style and the school’s approach
    • Emotional distress, anxiety, or frequent school refusal
    • Social challenges, including bullying that isn’t being addressed
    • Logistical or family changes that make the current school less practical
    • How to assess whether the issues are temporary or long-term concerns

    • Steps to take before making a switch

    • Why trusting your instincts as a parent is so important in making the right decision

    • Switching schools is a big decision, but it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. By taking a thoughtful, step-by-step approach, you can determine whether a change is truly the best move for your child—and feel confident in whatever decision you make.

      Listen in for practical guidance and reassurance as you navigate this process!
