Hey podcast listeners, the topics are pouring in through our text messaging pod ring is what I'm calling you. You can join it

833 947.947. 3684. Text the word pod. And then just send us messages. We interact with you,

answer your questions about products and classes and take your suggestions

so that we you have a nagging sense that you

and your child are not on the same page or that your child seems to be struggling and

you don't know what to do about it. If so, stay tuned. Here are some of your

possible worries. These are the ones people send me in direct messages on Instagram or in emails to our help inbox.

Your child isn't reading yet but should be.

Your child likes Minecraft or Fortnightite too much.

Your child takes a really long time to finish.

To complete a math page or eat breakfast or tie their shoes

or brush their teeth or hand-write that one sentence.

Maybe your child seems sad or has no obvious passion.

The one I hear about the most?

Your child hates. fill in the blank, math, writing, history, a brother or sister, sports, life.

Here's a practice that can help to reset the dial between you. Ready? Here we go.

Enjoy a shake or a slushy or something yummy with that child alone.

Set a date to be together. Pick a treat to share and make sure there is no appointment that crowds the back end of your time together.

You're going to talk to your child about this feeling between you

with an open heart to hear your child's experience.

Take these steps.

First, start with your part.
