This episode might seem like we are only talking about high schoolers, but it’s important to understand that the information that is shared applies to children who are much younger. Preparation starts very early on, but if you do have a high schooler, this topic is going to be very useful to you immediately. So, if you are concerned about your child’s future and want them to have a successful business or career, listen closely because many times an individual's confidence is tied to how they perform in school. You will find out what the 4 unbreakable rules for academic success in high school are before the end of this episode.

In this episode, we talk about a truly pervasive issue in the parenting world. Is it me or does it seem like kids just don’t do well taking direction these days. You give a directive and they say “no, I don’t want to” or maybe they just outright ignore you as if they didn’t hear a thing. As a parent, what do you do? Maybe you yell. Maybe you offer a sweet deal or bribe. Maybe you give them an ultimatum which kicks their defiant behaviors into high gear. Of course, the cycle continues. Well, there has to be a better way to handle these difficult situations at every age and stage of childhood development. That’s why we have a very special guest today to help us with this very issue. She has helped over 10,000 parents, so you’re not alone.

In this episode, we answer the question: Why are we seeing more children struggling with emotional regulation? 

We have conditions like Oppositional Defiant Disorder being diagnosed younger and younger. Anxiety Disorder diagnoses are also on the rise. Why are we seeing this trend? Has societal change with the introduction of so many handheld devices become a contributing factor? Have our children gotten away from the social nuances that accompany good old fashion “play”? Can we give our children better stability in emotional wellness if we do something different and more intentional, which frankly, may be considered, nowadays, out of the norm? Today, our special guest is going to shed light on ways we can get back to supporting “play” and how it is connected to children’s overall well-being.

In this episode, we talk about the real world. We really discuss how we are preparing our children for adulthood. Every decision we make or don’t make impacts their upbringing and their view of the world. This is why it’s so important to be very mindful of how we show up for them. I cannot have this conversation on my own, so that’s why our guest expert, Damon Eddy, helps bring clarity to ways we, as parents, can ensure that our children are being raised to become loving and impactful adults in this new and ever-changing world. Our world needs more people who hold those types of character traits, wouldn’t you agree? So tune in for some insights that will have you reflecting on your own parenting style.

In this episode, I want to pass along a message to parents who have children in special education or who you suspect needs additional support. I talked with many of my colleagues in the field from across the nation about what they want parents to know, specifically what they want you to know that they can’t say at an IEP meeting or as school personnel because of the repercussions they may face from their superiors. Sometimes we, as school psychologists, find ourselves in this kind of weird space intertwined between school politics and advocating for children and families in a way that may go against the grain. So, this episode is dedicated to all the parents who want to be empowered to ensure that your child is getting the best education possible and without the games. So tune in and take notes.

In this episode, I interview a mom who used a specialized type of therapy for her son that saved his life. Many children are struggling in school and in life and sometimes the schools are just not equipped to handle these challenges. There are many outside agencies and clinicians who provide a wide range of other options for therapy that you just won’t find in the school setting, and neurofeedback therapy is one of them.  Our special guest, Dianne Kosto, will be sharing her story along with some very valuable information so tune in now.
