Elementary School Parents: Today, your top 3 questions are being answered by an experienced teacher and principal, Lisa Ronnenkamp.

Questions from parents like you:

1- "My child did not get the teacher we requested this year. What is the process like and why couldn't my request be met?"

2- "Why does there seem to be so much documenting and smoothing over every playground issue that occurs these days? When I was a kid, we had to figure it out ourselves."

3-"Like most parents, I am more concerned than ever before about school safety. What behind the scenes efforts are going on to improve safety at our elementary schools where there is a high volume of parents going in and out of the school every day?"

Did you know that 19% of our students are NOT showing up every day? (this is a Utah Statistic but it is similar to neighboring states). Absenteeism is a growing problem throughout the nation's classrooms.

This interview with (Utah) State Board of Education Prevention Specialist, Amy Steele-Smith, helps us understand the following:

  • How to help our most missed students--Kindergartners! Full day Kindergarten might be the solution.
  • How to help an anxious child feel supported and needed at school, one step at at time.
  • How to take that family vacation, but give the message to your kids that school is a high priority.

Did you know that emotional regulation can only be taught to children when they have their "lids flipped?"

What a privilege to have two-time, best-selling author and savvy psychologist, Dr. Jody Carrington, share her wisdom and humor in this interview! Dr. Jody teaches us how to teach kids about the emotions they are feeling by SHOWING them, not TELLING them, and ultimately how to "walk each other home" by connecting and re-connecting with each other.

Dr. Jody Carrington is a renowned psychologist, sought after for her expertise, energy, and approach to helping people solve their most complex human-centered challenges. Jody focuses much of her work around re-connection, the key to healthy relationships and productive teams.

Jody Carrington has two National Bestselling Books, 'Teachers These Days,' and 'Kids These Days,' and a third book being released next month, called, 'Feeling Seen.'https://www.drjodycarrington.com/

"I wanted to show a modern mother who has strength and is equal to the task. It was important to me to show that she has been injured from the battles she has fought, and from the obvious sweat, dirt and fresh wounds, it is clear that she is not finished nor at rest. It was also important to me to show that she is leading others to follow her into what appears to be more darkness...[but she, is carrying LIGHT]." -Anita Hart Carroll
