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

Send a text
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

This conversation isn't about fixing kids, improving outcomes, or adding a bunch of new strategies to your plate. It's about what happens to our nervous systems when the environment feels unsettled - and why feeling irritable, exhausted, or checked out is not a personal or professional failure. 
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
This episode is for educators, school staff, and caregivers who feel stretched thin and are wondering why it's feeling harder to access patience, problem-solving, and energy. I hope this episode helps you feel a little more seen, validated, and human.

One of the most common and emotionally loaded questions parents ask after a diagnosis is whether to tell their child. 
In this episode, I'm speaking directly to parents who are weighing the benefits and risks of sharing diagnostic information with their child. We explore why there isn't a single "right" answer, but also how factors like age, understanding, and context matter. I'll also cover what parents are often really worried about when they ask this question.
Rather than offering a script or a rule, this episode helps parents think through the purpose of sharing, the values guiding their decision, and how diagnosis can be framed in ways that support identity rather than limit it. If you're feeling unsure, conflicted, or afraid of saying the wrong thing, this conversation is meant to help you think clearly and compassionately about next steps.
