Back-to-school season is here! And for parents of complex kids, the new notebooks and backpacks often come with a side of anxiety and angst.
This week I’m joined by Scotti Weintraub, host of the Unlocking School Success podcast, to talk about tips for setting you and your kids setting up a thriving new year.
You’ll hear:
- The low-lift inventory that tells you more about last year than any report card (and why your kid is the best source)
- How to reach out to a new teacher so it lands as partnership, not a list of demands
- The tip that keeps you from firehosing the teacher on day one
- How to send that email even when part of you is scared of being “that parent”
- …and more.
