About this Episode

In this episode, I speak with Aimee Buckley, Co-Founder of Study Help, Inc. about targeted interventions that help kids recover from getting behind.

If your child has reading problems or struggles to hold on to math concepts, look, they don’t have to stay in that position. The earlier the intervention, the better! That’s why this conversation with Aimee is so critical because it will be able to give you some key ideas right away to get you going in the right direction. You will be able to determine exactly what your child needs to make significant gains!

#131: How Can I Help My Child Who Is Struggling in Reading?

In this episode, we talk about your struggling reader. Every year, I look at the referrals for special education testing that come across my desk and the #1 reason for referral is for children who are reading well below grade level. The #2 type of referral is for the Autism eligibility. It is quite clear that poor reading skills are a major concern for many - not just the teachers but for parents, too. Think about how you felt when you attended the parent-teacher conference where you were told that your child is “far behind in reading”. Maybe there were discussions about memory issues, not knowing letter sounds, not being able to sound out CVC words, and so on. If this has been your story, I share some very important steps you need to take before you even consider special education test. Why? Because sometimes a reading problem can be corrected with interventions and other times, there truly is a handicapping condition. So be sure to stick around for some important information to consider and also this week’s parenting challenge and your loving reminder. You definitely don’t want to miss it!

#123: Why Do Some Kids Struggle With Problem Behavior?

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 to why some kids exhibit problem behavior. It's a nuanced topic that involves a combination of factors. One significant aspect to consider is that children often communicate through behavior.

In this episode, we explore some of the common contributing factors that contribute to why your child may be experiencing problematic behavior. So listen until the end to find out more about how you can support your child in managing their behavior.

#122: How to Emotionally Support Your Child When Your Family Is in a Crisis!

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 during the worst thing that's ever happened to them — that could be a divorce or a health crisis.

She leaves us with actionable takeaways that will help, whether you’re in crisis or just surviving life with kids. She shares what works in reducing anxiety and also shares with us why open communication is so essential. Our children need coping skills just like we do, and there are certain types that kids need long-term to be resilient when their lives get tough. So get ready for some real talk today.
