In this episode of Unlocking School Success, we dive into the often-misunderstood world of executive functioning with our first guest, a good friend of mine - executive functioning coach Carrie Bonett.

We'll break down what executive function means, why these brain skills are crucial for getting important things done, and how they're not innate but learned.

Carrie shares how these skills are important not just for academic success but for everyday life—think of managing chores, appointments, and tasks we might not like to do. We also debunk the myth that students who seem lazy or defiant are simply lacking these crucial skills. 🧠✨

Join us as we explore practical tips for making the invisible visible, supporting your kids by getting involved, and even learning some skills for yourself as a parent. 📚📝 Tune in to gain valuable insights and strategies that can turn school stress into success! 🌟

📚 In this episode of Unlocking School Success, I'll be giving parents a fresh perspective on report cards. Rather than seeing grades as verdicts, I encourage you to view them as conversation starters. I explain that grades don't fully capture a child's intelligence or potential; instead, they reflect performance in a specific educational environment.

I urge parents to dig deeper into underlying factors affecting grades, ask insightful questions, and focus on patterns rather than isolated results.

I also be sharing tips for meaningful discussions with teachers and children to foster understanding and growth. ✨
