Do you suspect your child has Dyslexia? Is reading a never ending struggle? Did you know that there are specific strategies for teaching children with dyslexia to read that may not be taught in your child’s classroom.

This episode’s topic is both important and challenging: Why do some kids struggle with problem behavior?  It's a question that many parents, educators, and caregivers grapple with, and understanding the underlying factors can make a significant difference in how we approach and support these children. We start by acknowledging that every child is unique, and there's no universal answer t...

Life can be full of surprises - some good and some not so good. But when parents are dealing with something hard, often our kids are, too. And though our kids are usually our number one priority, ironically they often take a backseat when we're trying to survive whatever it is we're trying to survive. Our special guest, Sara Olsher, has a goal and that is to help parents help their kids...

WARNING: Controversial Topic Let me ask you a question. What comes to mind when you hear the phrase “financial literacy”? Is this something that only parents should teach their children or do you think the schools should add this as a part of the education system?

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 ulti...

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.

Have our children...

I cannot have this conversation on my own, so that’s why our guest expert, Damon Eddy, helps bring clarity to ways we,...

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.
