In this episode, we dig deep into why a child may be exhibiting aggressive behaviors. Depending on their age and what the aggression looks like, you need to understand why the aggression may be happening. Also, it’s important to know what to do if you are witnessing specific warning signs. Knowing the warning signs can help you take the right next steps in getting your child help. Also, learn what you should do if your child is not exhibiting the warning signs in order to establish a strong foundation of protective factors.

Parent Them Successful - #036: STEM: The Future Outlook for Girls and Children of Color
play

05/17/22 • 33 min

In this episode, I interview a technology company recruiter and talent acquisition partner in order to have a real conversation about the future of STEM for girls and children of color. If you haven’t heard about STEM, it basically is any field that has a strong foundation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and/or Math.

You may be wondering...why just focusing on girls and children of color. Well, jobs within the STEM field are some of the highest paying jobs with the least amount of individuals in the talent pool here in the U.S. We often have to recruit from overseas to fulfill positions. Not only that, the STEM field is White male dominated, and of minority populations, STEM fields consists of a large Asian representation. So it is important to understand that women and minority groups such as African Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans are largely underrepresented, and you know who can change that narrative? YOU! You as a parent can position your children to consider a career in STEM - especially if they are in these underrepresented groups. After all, it is the wave of the future.

Parent Them Successful - #140: Don't Slip Down the Learning Loss Slide This Summer!
play

05/14/24 • 25 min

In this episode, we talk about the summer slip n slide. No, not the fun swim-like activity that gives you a high water bill, but the one that will have your child forgetting so much of what was learned throughout the year. You may have heard it under other names like learning regression, learning loss, or the summer slide. Basically, it refers to the phenomenon where students, particularly school-aged children, experience a loss of academic skills and knowledge over the summer break when they are not actively engaged in learning. But guess what! You can help your child maintain their skills or better yet, get ahead of their peers. I cover what you can do to mitigate learning loss with fun activities and easy strategies.
