School Psych Podcast: Parenting Tips and Teacher Strategies for Supporting Diverse Learners

Send a text
Today marks the final episode of the School Psych Podcast - but don't worry, the podcast itself isn't ending. It's evolving! Over time, I realized that while the original title of the podcast reflected my profession as a school psychologist, it didn't fully capture what these conversations are really about: understanding and supporting your neurodivergent children. 
Starting with the next episode, the podcast will continue under a new name: 
 "Supporting Your Neurodivergent Child" 
The mission stays the same - helping the adults in kids' lives better understand how they learn, regulate, and thrive at school, at home, and beyond. 
If you're already subscribed, you don't need to do anything. The next episode will simply appear in your feed under the new title. 
Thanks for being part of this learning journey!

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health concerns in children, teens, and adults - and is one of the most misunderstood. 
In this deep dive episode, I walk you through what anxiety actually is (from both a clinical and practical lens), how it shows up in real life, and where to begin if you or your child are struggling. 
Whether you're a parent, an educator, or someone navigating anxiety personally, this replay episode will help you understand what's happening in the brain and body - and what actually helps.

This episode is a follow-up to the "Fall Start-Up" episode (#82). If you are a licensed educational psychologist (LEP), school psych, or school clinician, you're going to want to listen to this one. Winter is not coming... winter is HERE, and we are officially halfway through the school year. It's time to take stock of our to-do list, and how much we've been able (or not) to achieve so far. The point of this is not just to celebrate how far we've come but also to re-evaluate our priorities for the rest of the school year and what we realistically have time for.

Join me as I sit down with school psychologist (with over 20 years of experience) David Krasky, to talk through some of the common parenting struggles we've all been through or are about to go through! This episode is for parents and caregivers who are interested in some tips and "perspective" (i.e., hard truth) for how we foster independence in our kids. This journey of "Raising Future Adults" is not for the faint of heart, and that's why Dave wrote a book about it (see below for the link).
In this episode, we explore:
- Why being an educator or parent nowadays might feel harder
- How chronic stress impacts the body
- Small, realistic ways to support your nervous system 
- Why regulation is collective - not something you're meant to do alone

His book, "Raising Future Adults," is available here: Raising Future Adults
