68. What Your Teenager is Trying to Tell You with Jordan Toma

The teenage years can be tough for ALL involved. The child, the parent – the moments of frustration when trying to communicate with them and champion them, but seeing no result can feel almost too much to take sometimes! 

Well, when Landyn stumbled upon a TikTok video that her friend Mary Jo sent her with the message ‘I think this is what our teenagers are trying to tell us’ - Landyn’s ears perked up.

The man in the video was Jordan Toma. Jordan is a financial advisor turned speaker/coach from New Jersey that was diagnosed with ADHD, Dyslexia, and Auditory Processing Disorder. He struggled most of his younger years from a behavioral and educational perspective - until he was given the gift of an IEP - Individualized Education Plan. Being able to understand how to turn his struggles into his strengths changed his entire life.

Jordan’s mission is to be the person he needed during those developmental years. And now he’s here to help you and your child, too.

In this episode, Jordan is laying out:

• What an IEP is and how to access this for your child
• The words your child is longing to hear from you as the parent
• What to do if you and your spouse aren’t on the same page on what’s best for your child
• Resources available to your child from elementary to highschool if they aren’t fulfilling their highest potential
• Encouragement for your parent heart to keep going

 

Let this episode be your reminder that you’re doing the best you can – and to trust your gut. No matter the circumstances, your child is just one assignment away from their life changing. And YOU are the catalyst to help make that happen.

You’re doing a good job, mama.
