Season 3: Ep 5 - RAD and Ready for School

from The Parent Pod · host Rachel Russell from Quite Frankly Coaching

In this episode, we explore what emotional readiness for school really looks like and why it’s built over time, not rushed or forced. We talk about co-regulation, interdependence, waiting and turn-taking, boundaries, and separation, with practical, long-term ways parents can support their children’s nervous systems before and after school begins.This is a gentle, realistic conversation for anyone supporting a child to feel safe enough to step into school, and to keep growing once they’re there.To purchase a copy of Raising R.A.D.
