Things You Learn in Therapy

Ever wondered how to foster resilience and independence in our children? Join us as we unwrap the layers of educational support with the insightful school counselor Katie Preston. Katie brings her rich background in social work and counseling into our heartwarming conversation, imparting her wisdom on the art of asking for help and the importance of building resilience through self-advocacy. We navigate the home-school connection and explore the powerful teachings of "The Gift of Failure" by Jess Lahey.
This episode also paints the broad strokes of educational paths, emphasizing that college is not the only avenue to success. We highlight the importance of adaptability in career journeys and the significance of life skills in tandem with continuous learning. Whether our kids are college-bound or stepping straight into the workforce, personal development is key. From the vantage point of parenting, we consider how each child's journey might differ and the dreams we harbor for them, setting the stage for future discussions on sibling dynamics and resources to support every child’s unique educational experience. Join us for an enlightening episode that promises to leave you with a fresh perspective on guiding our youth towards independence and success.
