But as you say, every family operates differently, and they prioritize spending time together differently because their lives look different.

Yep.

And yeah, so just because you do something one way doesn't mean another family does.

But busy and difficult are the two words I will try and stop saying as a result of chatting with you, Blair.

Was there anything else?

Otherwise, I think we've covered a lot of ground there.

Thank you very much for your time.

Oh, it was, Blair.

Appreciate it.

Hi and welcome to School Shorts with me, Melissa Chan-Green, journalist and mum of two with a passion for education.

We have looked at learning challenges and struggles that students might face, especially when they are beginning school in other episodes.

We're going to look a little more specifically this time at what are some of those root causes

And what can we change as parents if we are more aware of that?

And what impact does that have on their learning outcomes?
