Parents play a crucial role in their children's emotional and educational development. Children do not need smartphones; instead, they should learn to cope with boredom, which fosters creativity and problem-solving skills. Truancy is a significant problem; seeking help for children who resist going to school is vital. If educators recommend testing for learning disabilities, parents should heed this advice, as it can provide essential support and resources for their child's success.
"You are their first teacher. It is your job to raise them to be functional adults. It's your job to regulate your emotions while teaching them how to regulate their emotions."
"Your elementary-aged children don't need smartphones (if they need a phone, get them a basic flip phone). Stop using screens as babysitters. Let your kids be bored; it builds their creativity and problem-solving skills. Tell them 'no.' Follow through with consequences."
"Send your kids to school! Truancy is a huge issue now. If they're refusing to get out of bed, get some help. If they truly are sick every day and don't have an underlying condition, they may need to get evaluated."
"If a teacher suggests getting your child tested for a learning disability, do it! It's not just a label...it's giving them tools to help them succeed."
