This episode is particularly relevant for many parents: "Why is my child unmotivated in school?" It’s not because they are lazy. It’s because they are unmotivated.

#134: Could a Sleep Problem Be the Cause of My Child’s Problems in School?
In this episode, I share with you some very powerful information about sleep health and your child’s learning, growth, and development. Anyone who knows me knows that I love talking about sleep health. This is often one of the first things I ask students about when I do student interviews. I want to know what time they usually go to bed and wake up. I want to know if they sleep through the night or are they often awakened. This gives me a lot of insight into the problems they are having in school. This is why we take a deep dive in the science of sleep and how it might be the reason behind why your child is struggling, behaviorally or academically. A good night's rest just might just be the answer.

#133: My Child Was Found Eligible for Special Education Services! Now What?
In this episode, I walk you through the process of what happens next after your child is found eligible for special education services. Your child maybe 3 or 13. No matter the age, it’s important for you to understand what it means to have a child on an Individualized Education Plan/Program (IEP). I share with you what you should expect from now on, and also what you may ask for now that your child is receiving services. I will explain placement and the fact that eligibility does not drive placement while dispelling common beliefs about special education. Listen until the end to get full clarity around this topic!
