In this episode, we discussed that employees with older parents may not anticipate the challenges as caregivers to fully prepare for the unexpected time off.   There is no playbook for someone entertaining the caregiving phase. The cost to employers is very high.  Dr. Mike Wasserman shares insights both as a physician and his personal stories of caregiving.

“I have been doing education therapy for 12 years and yet quite I often come across kids who make me think, I’ve Never Done This Before; each child is unique, each case is unique and never done before”- Bibinash Pirayesh

My absolutely fascinating conversation with Bibi.  I learned so much, not only about parent’s guilt, about not know how to help, lack of sensitivity, the social injustice for kids with learning differences.  Your child’s  “C’ grade doesn’t represent his/ her inability to learn, perhaps you ought to look at changing the teaching style. 

Bibinaz Pirayesh is an educational therapist & consultant specializing in educational assessments, program design, and coaching and advocacy for neuro-diverse children. Bibi holds a Master's in Developmental Psychology from Columbia University, a Bachelor's in Neuroscience and Education from the University of Pittsburgh, and a doctorate degree from Loyola Marymount University.  Bibinaz is the founder of The Learning Tree.

Having spent 22 years in corporate America, I can’t say I’ve ever had a chance to speak candidly with an HR professional about effective communications with management about work/life balance or my rights as a mom to take time for parenting.   Here is your chance to hear what I learned about how to have a conversation from VP of Human resources at Leaf Group, a publicly held company.  Heidi helped me understand the role of HR, how it’s evolved over time, and what one can and should expect as an employee in these situations as well as how the employer sees it. She was truly a pleasure to speak with.
