- #140: Don't Slip Down the Learning Loss Slide This Summer!
In this episode, we talk about the summer slip n slide. No, not the fun swim-like activity that gives you a high water bill, but the one that will have your child forgetting so much of what was learned throughout the year. You may have heard it under other names like learning regression, learning loss, or the summer slide. Basically, it refers to the phenomenon where students, particularly school-aged children, experience a loss of academic skills and knowledge over the summer break when they are not actively engaged in learning. But guess what! You can help your child maintain their skills or better yet, get ahead of their peers. I cover what you can do to mitigate learning loss with fun activities and easy strategies.

22 min - #134: Could a Sleep Problem Be the Cause of My Child’s Problems in School?
In this episode, I share with you some very powerful information about sleep health and your child’s learning, growth, and development. Anyone who knows me knows that I love talking about sleep health. This is often one of the first things I ask students about when I do student interviews. I want to know what time they usually go to bed and wake up. I want to know if they sleep through the night or are they often awakened. This gives me a lot of insight into the problems they are having in school. This is why we take a deep dive in the science of sleep and how it might be the reason behind why your child is struggling, behaviorally or academically. A good night's rest just might just be the answer.

In this episode, I walk you through the process of what happens next after your child is found eligible for special education services. Your child maybe 3 or 13. No matter the age, it’s important for you to understand what it means to have a child on an Individualized Education Plan/Program (IEP). I share with you what you should expect from now on, and also what you may ask for now that your child is receiving services. I will explain placement and the fact that eligibility does not drive placement while dispelling common beliefs about special education. Listen until the end to get full clarity around this topic!

23 min - #131: How Can I Help My Child Who Is Struggling in Reading?
In this episode, we talk about your struggling reader. Every year, I look at the referrals for special education testing that come across my desk and the #1 reason for referral is for children who are reading well below grade level. The #2 type of referral is for the Autism eligibility. It is quite clear that poor reading skills are a major concern for many - not just the teachers but for parents, too. Think about how you felt when you attended the parent-teacher conference where you were told that your child is “far behind in reading”. Maybe there were discussions about memory issues, not knowing letter sounds, not being able to sound out CVC words, and so on. If this has been your story, I share some very important steps you need to take before you even consider special education test. Why? Because sometimes a reading problem can be corrected with interventions and other times, there truly is a handicapping condition. So be sure to stick around for some important information to consider and also this week’s parenting challenge and your loving reminder. You definitely don’t want to miss it!
