Parent Them Successful

In this episode, I share 10 important accommodations that will support your child’s learning if they struggle with ADHD.  According to the CDC, more than 6 million children in the United States have the disorder. About a third of those were diagnosed when quite young - between the ages of 2 and 5. The CDC also estimates that almost 1 in 10 children have the disorder today. That’s a much higher number than 20 years ago, when ADHD was diagnosed in just over 1 in 20 children. So, that’s why it’s so important for you to know what strategies work and what types of accommodations you can ask for that will better support your child’s learning. Keep in mind that this can be applied to both school and home environments. ADHD should not hinder your child from being successful.

In this episode, I interview Lynda Bailey, Executive Director of the Anti-bullying Institute, about the hot button issue of bullying. With bullying behaviors on the rise, it’s really important for parents to know what to do in a situation whether it’s your child being bullied or your child doing the bullying. Either way, you play a major role in how the problem gets resolved. 

By the end of this episode, you will know how to distinguish between true bullying and typical conflict. You will also find out what laws protect students from being bullied. And as a parent warrior, you will be provided with resources that you can take back to your school leaders to impact change if you see there is a problem.

In this episode, I want to help you motivate your teen to read and better yet, become a better reader if reading is a struggle. Even if reading is not a struggle, sometimes getting them to read in general can be a challenge. You may not know this about me, but I used to be an English teacher. I taught 8th graders at the middle school level before moving on to teach 9th graders at the high school level. While teaching high school, I had the opportunity to also teach a few periods of Language Arts Support for struggling readers. Nevertheless, the goal was always to improve critical thinking and reading comprehension skills while keeping it engaging. 

So that’s why  I will be sharing with you 3 things you can do to ignite your teen’s passion for reading.

In this episode, I interview, Janice Rooths, Vice President of Programs at Parents Anonymous® Inc., a nationwide family strengthening organization started in 1969 that provides evidence-based Parents Anonymous® Groups and operates the Parent & Youth Helpline. We know that sometimes parenting is hard, especially if you are doing it alone.  But even if you're not a single parent, parenting can still present unique challenges in every situation. You may feel as if no one will understand your situation or maybe you feel like you need additional support - just someone to talk to about your stress. If this sounds like you, Parents Anonymous may be an answered prayer. Join in the conversation as we talk about the trials of parenting (and grandparenting) and how you can get supported exactly the way you need it.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the long term benefits of tapping into your child’s true passion. Research has shown that it helps to improve your child's confidence and by focusing on a child’s deep rooted interests and abilities, it leads to an overall more fulfilled and happier life. If your child seems to get frustrated with school or if they resist doing certain extra-curricular activities, it may simply be that what they are doing is misaligned with their true passion. And that’s why it’s so important not to underestimate the power of tapping into what they already love to do as a way to empower them to live out their full potential. In this episode, I share with you 5 things you can do tap into their true passion.

In this episode, we discuss one of my favorite topics…college preparation and admissions. Yes! The reason this is so exciting for me to discuss is because I enjoy seeing our youth really step into the plan for how they envision their future lives. For some children, they are the first in their families to go to college. For others, they may be following a family tradition of some sort, but nevertheless, it is an exciting and yet emotional time for parents and children alike.

So today, you are in for a treat! I am interviewing an expert in this area of what it takes to really prepare for these moments and how to use the SAT and ACT as leverage in a time when these tests are no longer requirements for admissions. We are going to get clarity on exactly what we need to know, and parents, I’m excited to be a part of your journey.

How many times have you or your child been stressed out over grades? Maybe you have a child who is a perfectionist and they just break down if they get a B. Or maybe your child has a history of struggling in school. Maybe they just give up trying after they see that first D or F. It could be that your child is somewhere in the middle, floating along that C range where the both of you know that they can do better. Now, if you’re the fortunate parent who doesn’t stress over grades and whose child doesn’t stress either, well just count yourselves fortunate enough to be anomalies. For most of us, there is some stress centered around the outcome of grades. 

In this episode, I share 10 things to be cautious of when too much emphasis is placed on grades because it can be very detrimental to your child’s mental health.
