*********************

If you can't reach 'em, you can't teach 'em. That's true whether we're talking about math class or tying shoes.

No one knows this more than Dr. Emily King, a school psychologist, child psychologist, and author of the upcoming book The Neurodivergent Learner.

In this episode, we dig into why the system was never really designed for kids like yours, and what that means for you at home and at school.

You'll hear...

• Why your kid struggles in traditional school systems
• What skill readiness actually looks like, and how to stop pushing at the wrong moment
• Why kids lose skills they already have, and when to worry vs. wait
• How to talk to your child's teacher in ways that actually move things forward
• Why academic achievement and "success" are not the same thing
