Are you waiting anxiously for report cards, only to be blindsided by struggles your child has been facing for months? Do you feel guilty that you don't know what's really happening in your child's classroom, but you're too overwhelmed to figure out how to connect with teachers? In this episode, we share exactly when and how to check in with your child's teacher throughout the school year—without being "that" helicopter parent. You'll learn the four critical life skills that matter more than grades and how to advocate effectively for your child's unique learning needs. After listening, you'll be able to:

  • Schedule strategic teacher check-ins at the right times (without overwhelming yourself or the teacher)
  • Ask the exact questions that uncover what's really happening with your child's learning
  • Understand the 4 foundational life skills that predict success better than grades ever will
  • Advocate confidently for your child's accommodations and learning needs
  • Support your child's learning at home in fun, practical ways (no boring worksheets required!)

The truth? Parents who do fall check-ins have children who are more successful, less stressed, and better supported throughout the entire school year.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
