Parenting Beyond Discipline Erin Royer, MA Clinical Psychology, Child Development Specialist

The way we parent has a significant impact on how our children develop. But equally as important is their education and for me, the most challenging part of parenting has been finding the right educational fit for each of my children. Preschools offer a lot of great options. How do you know how to find the best fit for your individual child's strengths and personality? Formal education (5+) doesn't usually offer quite the same variety of opportunities, but school choice is becoming more prevalent. Creative parents who understand the system can find great options when their assigned neighborhood school is not a fit. In this first episode I share what ideal learning environments should offer and how to go about finding a good fit, preschool through high school.
