Episode Synopsis
Adapting a Parenting Style
Welcome to the different skill notebook podcast! Today we have a special guest Samatha Salver, LMSW. Samantha is part of the Social Mind Center team. Samantha leads social communication groups, organized thinking/executive function coaching, and individual counseling. Visit her page on our website: https://www.socialmindcenter.com/coaching.
Our conversation today focuses on "adapting" a parenting style to meet your child's needs.
Academic success is inter-dependent on social-emotional skills. Frequently, our parent's focus and prioritize reading, writing, and math. These are very important skills that encompass a part of the academic day. The rest of the academic day requires skills such as listening, focusing, and staying on task. These are some of the skills required to independently navigate the school day. In every grade, there is an expectation of the child independently completing tasks, transitioning, and engaging in-class activities. All these skills fall under the social-emotional learning skill group.
More important than grades is your child's social-emotional welfare. Children should enjoy the learning experience, community, and building relationships with classmates as well as teachers.
Strategy: Identifying and understand your child's social-emotional needs. Know your wants and how do they match up to your child's needs.
Expand your knowledge on the social-emotional expectations for your child's grade.
Does your child have the skills to meet those expectations?
Identify where your child may need additional assistance and support.
Find the appropriate help and support for yourself and your child.
In our conversations with parents, we often find that we need additional information from the teachers and other professionals to better access the child's needs.
Academic expectations for each grade are for the class as a whole. There will be variations of these expectations. In our experience, we find that there are kids that require additional time to acquire certain skills. Sometimes it's as simple as adjusting our pace.
Learning more about social-emotional skill expectations for each grade should be your starting point. Here are some helpful resources.
