S2 E20 "How to help your child become a more confident, independent learner" Caroline Sumners - a podcast by Joanna A Mercado

"If so - one of my favorites is "how we are at the small scale is how we are at the large scale"

3 takeaways:

1. When you lead with curiosity & open-ended questions, you can diffuse tension and have more peaceful, productive conversations about school.
2. Helping your child identify how & when to self-advocate at school can help them be more independent & successful now - and in the future.
3. Create a supportive network for yourself, too, as you work with your child to build executive functioning skills.
