Episode #75 When School Stress Takes Over Your House with Jessyka Coulter

If school regularly turns into tension, tears, shutdown, or power struggles at home, this episode offers a clean reframe: it’s often not a motivation problem. It’s a navigation problem. Landy Peek is joined by Jessyka Coulter, founder of Ace Cookie Tutoring, to talk about what many kids are expected to figure out without being taught: how to manage school itself. Not the content—the system. Multiple teachers. Multiple platforms. Different expectations. Different rules. Different ways to turn things in. And on top of that, the social pressure of not wanting to look confused or “behind.” When kids don’t have a framework to organize it, make sense of what matters, and ask for help without feeling exposed, the stress shows up fast. That’s when you hear things like:“I’m dumb.” “This is stupid.” “Stop asking me.” “I hate this.”Not because they don’t care—but because they don’t know how to move through the demands in a way that works for their brain. This conversation isn’t about pushing harder or “fixing” your kid. It’s about naming the real gap, understanding what’s missing underneath the behavior, and why things can change quickly when the right skills and supports are in place. You’ll walk away with a clearer lens for what’s happening after school—and a more effective next step than another round of nagging, bribing, or late-night homework battles.
