Each month Meghan Corridan, a pediatric occupational therapist, joins Catherine to share some of what she’s learned from her clients and her own 5-year-old daughter. Now that her daughter is in kindergarten, Meghan is experiencing the joys of homework firsthand, so we talked about how to set the scene and help kids succeed with their at-home work. Find out Meghan’s pro tips for motivating kids and teaching independence (something both moms are still working on with their kids at home). To read more of Meghan’s advice, visit her blog, MAC&Toys, or the site for The Meeting House, where Meghan helps run a supportive after-school program.
