Divorce and separation are tough, but for children—especially middle and high schoolers—the impact runs deep. As a middle school principal, I see firsthand how family dynamics shape a child’s behavior, emotions, and academic success. In this episode, we discuss the importance of co-parenting with unity, the signs that your child may be struggling, and practical ways to ensure that, no matter your situation, your child feels supported. Because at the end of the day, being on one accord isn’t just about you—it’s about them. #YourFavoriteSchoolLeader
Testing season is here, and for many scholars, that means more than just answering questions—it means battling anxiety. As educators, we see the signs: sweating, fidgeting, panic, even complete shutdowns. In this episode, we break down the symptoms of test anxiety and, more importantly, share proven strategies to help scholars manage stress and perform at their best. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or student, this episode offers practical tools to turn testing anxiety into testing confidence. Let’s help our scholars succeed—one strategy at a time. #YourFavoriteSchoolLeader
Just because your child has a friend at school doesn’t mean you know what’s happening in their home. As an educator, I’ve heard the Monday morning stories—the things kids experience over the weekend that no parent would ever want for their child. From unsafe environments to traumatic experiences, sleepovers can expose children to risks that parents never see coming. This podcast is a wake-up call to vet the families, ask the hard questions, and rethink where you allow your child to spend the night. Not all friends are friends. Be careful. Be aware. Be present. #YourFavoriteSchoolLeader
Parents, it’s time to wake up. The digital world is exposing our children to things we never imagined, and as a principal, I’ve seen firsthand what happens when their phones get confiscated. From secret group chats to hidden social media interactions, the things lurking behind those screens are shocking. This podcast is your guide to staying one step ahead—how to monitor, what to look for, and why being involved in your child’s online life isn’t optional. Create that fake account. Check those messages. Get those phones. #YourFavoriteSchoolLeader
(Throw back episode) In today’s world, the challenges facing our children are more heartbreaking and disturbing than ever. As parents, we often start strong—showing up for elementary school events—only to step back during the crucial middle school years, assuming we can pick back up in high school. But what happens in that gap? What dangers, influences, and experiences are shaping our kids when we’re not looking? Join us as we dive into the harsh realities of modern parenting, the overlooked moments that make all the difference, and how staying present at every stage of your child’s education can change their future. It’s time to open your eyes and take action—because our kids need us now more than ever. #YourFavoriteSchoolLeader
