Send us your thoughts about this week's episode!

What happens when my fifth grader asks for more control over his learning—and then grades his parent on how well that’s going? We sit down for a midyear check-in that blends honesty, humor, and a surprisingly sharp plan to finish strong. From student-directed routines to the “learning hole” metaphor, we unpack how kids build real independence when adults learn to time support just right.

If you’re a parent or teacher, this conversation offers a candid look at agency, accountability, and the art of stepping back without checking out. Listen for concrete strategies you can try today: question-first coaching, smarter tool sequencing, and environment tweaks that make focus easier. If it resonates, tap follow, share with a friend who’s in the trenches, and leave a quick review with your best tip for timing support—we might feature it next week.
