Have you known or dealt with a child who has difficulty processing emotions? Maybe a child who has received a diagnosis that includes the word "complex?" Michelle & I dig deep today as we discuss different therapies & strategies to try with kiddos who need additional help & we hope this reaches the ears of anyone who needs some support right now.

Lenora Edwards is so mindful & intentional about communication; this chat was not just centered around speech pathology (her specialty) but about all the ways we can communicate, read & encourage our kids to read & speak more mindfully. You'll love this one!

Since we are always discussing SEL and how it impacts our kids, I decided to find an author out on a mission to publish children's books that address the various emotional issues facing our kids today. It was a nice author-author chat, but also mom-mom in many parts of the conversation; hope you enjoy it!

Summer has come & gone by quickly! But don't feel discouraged if your kiddo lost or didn't retain some of the intelligence and skills from last school year; there's still a lot you can do at home to get them on-level & in a good place for a new year of learning!
