REFRAMING SCHOOL STRUGGLES FOR SUCCESS

When your child is struggling at school, it can feel frustrating and overwhelming—not just for them, but for you as a parent. You want to help, but where do you start?

In this episode, I sit down with Scotti Weintraub, founder of Reframe Parenting, parent coach, and school navigator, to talk about how shifting our perspective can change the way we support our children’s education. Instead of viewing school challenges as roadblocks, we discuss how to turn them into opportunities for growth and success.

We dive into the red flags that may signal your child is struggling, how to open up productive conversations with teachers, and why taking action now is essential for long-term academic and emotional well-being. Scotti shares insights from her own journey as a “forged-in-fire” parent advocate and provides strategies for working with schools in a way that leads to real solutions.

If you’ve ever felt lost or frustrated trying to help your child succeed in school, this episode will give you a new perspective and the tools to move forward with confidence.
