Let's face it – reminders are part of family life! Even adults need calendars, notifications, and sticky notes to keep track of commitments, so it's perfectly normal when children need memory support too. Young minds are still developing the executive function skills that help with remembering responsibilities and tasks. Instead of viewing constant reminders as failures, see them as teaching opportunities to build your child's memory muscles. Visual tools can make a world of difference: colorful calendars, picture-based checklists, or even simple reminder apps designed for kids. These external memory aids not only help your child stay on track but also gradually build their internal memory skills through consistent practice. By acknowledging that we all need reminders sometimes, you're teaching your child that using memory tools isn't a weakness—it's a smart strategy for success.

Trying to help a child with OCD or anxiety is not an easy task. One reason for that is because we are not steering the ship. This is not our battle. This is not our struggle. Although trust me, I know we have our own struggles on this journey raising a child with OCD or anxiety.But, we don't get to override our child's autonomy to smooth things out. I wish we could.The single hardest part about raising children with OCD or anxiety is we have to follow their pace. We have to follow their level of engagement. If we overstep, over push or over cheerlead, we risk shutting them down.In this week's AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to know when to step back and how to support your child while their foot is firmly on the brake.

Quote: Children are not things to be molded, but are people to be unfolded. -Jess Lair Chapters 0:23 Introduction to Child Anxiety Support 2:56 Understanding Anxiety in Children 8:06 Building Confidence Through Small Wins 12:35 Creating Predictable Routines 13:07 Grounding Techniques for Kids 19:22 Conclusion and Reflection Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the vital topic of supporting children through their experiences of anxiety and fear, a discussion prompted by a heartfelt email from a listener. She shared her struggles with her six-year-old son, who faces anxiety in everyday situations like checking the mail or showering alone. By addressing the complexities of childhood anxiety, I aim to provide practical insights and strategies for parents and caregivers looking to nurture resilience and bravery in their children. Understanding that anxiety is a normal emotion for everyone, especially young children, is fundamental in initiating this journey of support. I emphasize the importance of normalizing these feelings and recognizing that childhood anxiety often presents itself through fears of separation or abandonment. This acknowledgment is essential in reframing anxiety from a taboo topic to a shared human experience, which facilitates open discussions with children about their emotions. Following this, I guide listeners through identifying potential triggers for anxiety, using our listener's situation as a concrete example. Exploring these triggers helps distinguish the underlying emotional patterns children may feel, enabling parents to offer reassurance that they are not alone in their fears. Gradual, supportive approaches, akin to what I refer to as "building brave," provide a framework for increasing a child's confidence and comfort over time, rather than forcing them into situations they are unprepared to handle. I discuss actionable strategies for promoting self-assurance and independence in anxious children. By celebrating small wins—like showering with the door ajar—parents can reinforce the child's sense of accomplishment and boost their confidence. Additionally, encouraging decision-making in everyday scenarios allows children to experience the power of their choices, further cultivating their self-esteem. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back, listeners, to Diverse Thinking Different Learning! In this episode, we're having a conversation with Dr. Sarah Powell, a distinguished professor at the University of Texas at Austin and Associate Director of the Meadows Center for Preventing Educational Risk. Dr. Powell's expertise in math education sheds light on effective strategies to support students who face challenges with math! The discussion explores the crucial role early math education plays in shaping a student's future academic success, emphasizing that early struggles can lead to long-term difficulties if not addressed properly. Dr. Powell elaborates on how cumulative math skills impact later learning, stressing the importance of early intervention and continuous support throughout a student's educational journey. Dr. Powell also highlights several best practices for math instruction, including the use of multiple representations to deepen understanding and systematic, explicit teaching methods to ensure mastery of concepts. She also addresses the role of math vocabulary and its significance in helping students grasp mathematical ideas more effectively. Tune in to gain valuable insights into how targeted interventions and effective teaching strategies can make a significant difference in students' math achievements. If you are an educator yourself seeking to enhance your math instruction or perhaps a parent looking to support your child's learning, this episode of the show is sure to offer practical advice and actionable strategies to help all students excel in math! Show Notes: [3:14] - Early math performance predicts future success, making early intervention important for long-term achievement. [6:06] - Dr. Powell points out how schools often prioritize reading over math, but early math interventions are just as important. [9:01] - Dr. Powell argues that teaching math vocabulary is essential for understanding concepts and participating effectively in the classroom. [11:59] - Difficulties in math may be linked to language issues, including reading, writing, and speaking. [13:04] - Using multiple representations, like manipulatives and drawings, can help students better understand math concepts. [15:24] - Dr. Powel feels that students should understand math deeply by using various representations, not just by memorizing symbols. [18:55] - Identifying common mistakes better helps target instruction than addressing isolated mistakes. [20:02] - Dr. Powell argues that effective math learning involves modeling, repeated practice, and building fluency through both speed and accuracy. [23:53] - Incorporating short fluency practices into the school day enhances math skills and helps reduce cognitive overload. [25:34] - Older students should develop fluency to avoid using basic strategies like tick marks, which can lead to mistakes. [26:55] - Effective strategies for solving word problems include the U.P.S. check method and recognizing common problem types. [31:16] - Dr. Powell explains how parents can help with word problems by discussing the problem and identifying consistent frameworks. [32:43] - Parents can also support math learning through discussions, games, and incorporating math into daily activities. [35:25] - Engaging in practical math activities, like measuring ingredients, makes math fun and relevant! [38:57] - For additional support, resources include emailing Dr. Powell as well as videos on representations, a free math course, and teacher-friendly materials! About Our Guest: Dr. Sarah R.

Hey there, welcome back to Diverse Thinking Different Learning! Today, we're diving into a topic that's often overlooked but incredibly important: late diagnoses of ADHD and autism, particularly in women, people of color, and LGBTQ individuals. It's a conversation that's long overdue, and we're so grateful to have Dr. Monica Blied joining us to shed some light on this crucial issue. As a clinical psychologist and founder of Faces of Health, Dr. Blied brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table. In her private practice, she specializes in providing psychological assessments for adults and children who suspect they may have Autism, ADHD, or learning differences. With a keen focus on supporting adults living with chronic medical and mental illnesses, Dr. Blied has dedicated her career to helping individuals navigate the complex intersection of mental and physical health. Today, dive deep into the reasons why certain conditions like ADHD and autism are often diagnosed late, despite their significant impact on individuals' lives. From systemic biases to misconceptions and missed opportunities for support, Dr. Blied will be sharing invaluable insights and advice for anyone who suspects they may be struggling with an undiagnosed condition and what parents can look for in their children that could be signs of struggle. Show Notes: [2:13] - People are often overlooked and it seems that there are systemic biases. There are studies that show that particularly people of color are misdiagnosed. [3:42] - There are many misconceptions. Something important to remember is that most of the time, certain behaviors are not willful. [6:03] - One reason someone's diagnosis is missed is fewer outward symptoms or struggles, especially when compared to a sibling. [9:34] - Dr. Blied shares an experience in seeing the similarities and differences in siblings and the tendency to put more focus on one child over another. [11:24] - A late diagnosis could also be due to a family normalizing and nurturing certain behaviors. [13:38] - Externalized behaviors are obvious. The kids who internalize are often missed. [15:46] - Individuals who are born female are often misdiagnosed or completely overlooked as children. [17:44] - The average age of ADHD diagnosis in women is 37. By 18 years old, 80% of women who are autistic are still undiagnosed. [20:45] - Special interests can be misleading. [23:51] - Girls and women tend to be very good at masking, until the demands are more difficult to adjust to. [25:07] - In children, ADHD and autism are diagnosed in 4 boys to every 1 girl. But in adulthood, it is a 1 to 1 ratio. It is a misconception that it is more common in boys. [28:21] - There is the belief, even among medical professionals, that ADHD isn't a real struggle or problem. [29:12] - Dr. Blied describes what ADHD and autism might look like in a girl especially during childhood. [31:11] - There are higher rates of autism and ADHD in those with other types of medical issues and in LGBTQIA+ individuals. [33:36] - A late diagnosis leads to years of missed opportunities for support and intervention. [34:27] - Dr. Blied shares some first steps and advice if you suspect that you could need a diagnosis or are late diagnosed.

I want you to know it's okay to feel those feelings. And I want you to know that you are not the only parent on the roller coaster.If you need more support the team and I would love to support you. We would love to support your child into learning how to regulate. This journey is not meant to be taken alone.Comment “SUPPORT” and let's chat.XOXO,Dr. B #podcast #throvelikeaparent #newepisode #parent #momlife #nervoussystem #nervoussystemregulation #emotionalregulation #sensoryplay #sensoryregulation #sensoryseeking #viral #video

Our guest for this week's episode is Natalie Burns, a wife and mother to 3 in BC, Canada. Previously, as a high school biology, health sciences, and dance teacher, she saw the need for personalized learning and decided to homeschool her own children. This is where she saw firsthand how homeschooling families were pushing to make learning happen which was leading to fighting and overwhelm. Because of her background, she knew exactly what these families needed so she stepped out to show how to eliminate overwhelm for good. She created Homeschool Teaching Simplified to support homeschooling moms to find the freedom to reflect who they are as a family - through the way that they teach - so they can create deeper connections with their children.

Welcome back for another episode of Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug & Justin welcome back fantastic human and musician Bob Ballmaier! Bob shares the struggles he has gone through with his four year old daughter and her rare kidney disease and how you can help support other kids in need. The dorks then talk about being proud of their kids and how to support their interests. The nerds then turn to another discussion of AI and some of the interesting ways it's being used for good as well as how it's affecting the creative world in terms of music and movies.    Things are wrapped up with another Ask Practical Doug, where Doug answers an AITA question from Reddit about whether or not someone was the bad guy for having kids that are loud.   Donate to the Child Live Services fundraiser: https://secure.aahgiving.org/site/TR/DIY/General?px=2385305&pg=personal&fr_id=1231   Check out our YouTube channel where we livestream our new podcast episodes every Tuesday at 8pmCT and our video game stream every Saturday at 8pmCT.

During the Summer time everything is happy as your kids take time off from school and get to play outside in the sun and just have a lot of fun. You're actually fairly excited to go back to school, but then there's this dance between loving being back and trying to settle back into the routine of being back there. We want to help our children to feel inspired and have a love for learning while also not pressuring them to follow after the ambitions and expectations we set for them, but rather excel in whatever it is they want to pursue.Times when you love it and times when you don't 3:00Movement and inspiration 9:00There is so much going on for kids 15:50Avoid overlaying your ambitions on your kids 22:30“I think if I was to look at 2 things that I'm gonna focus on to ensure that their happiness and their success in live, in whatever they want that to be, that I'm not a hindrance to that. Number one is don't place my expectations and ambitions on them other than them to excel, and two is just to ask them the questions.” 23:52
