Why do many parents find summer break more stressful than the school year?
one of the struggles that happens is that when kids are in school, there's a structure and there are there's a system. There are, you know, it's like every day they know exactly on Monday this is what we do. On Tuesday this is what we do. And if that structure changes, they're in on that information. So what I realized was that by not having a structure set up for RDA if by not filling him in on what was going on, then that was creating some chaos.
Welcome to the Tilt Parenting Podcast, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Rieber, and I'm excited to be bringing back to the show Parent Coach Margaret Webb. As school is out, or nearly out in some cases, Margaret and I are going to be talking about summer survival strategies. I don't mean what you should actually be planning. planning for your child over the next few weeks or months, but rather how you as a parent raising a differently wired kid can get through the summer in a way that feels peaceful and positive and good for the whole family. It is possible, trust me. A quick note, I just want to acknowledge that we know that summer can be stressful for so many families, especially families who don't have the financial resources to enroll their kids in expensive camps or families where having a parent home all summer just is not an option.
There was actually a big article in this week's New York Times about this very thing, and we totally recognize this. So I just wanna state up front that the financial stresses of summer Is not something we really address in this particular episode. Our focus is really more on self-care and planning to help parents get through the summer unscathed. And one last thing before we get to our interview, I wanted to quickly share that we've just hit the two-month mark since we first launched Tilt, and episodes of our podcast have already been listened to 10,000 times. It's so exciting. For us. So thank you so much for listening and for being a part of our audience and for helping us spread the word. We have some great episodes coming up too, including an expert on ADHD, an Asher special episode on traveling with kids, and much more.
So please keep listening, keep sharing, and we'll keep doing our best to provide you with super useful and inspiring content. I hope you enjoyed this episode. So to learn more about Tilt, the revolution for parents raising differently wired kids, visit www.tiltparenting.com. Hello everyone, it's Debbie Rieber with the Tilt Parenting Podcast, and I'm really happy to be bringing Margaret Webb back to the podcast. And for those of you who don't know, Margaret was actually my very first guest on the show, it was episode one, which was all about finding peace and parenting the child you didn't expect while you were expecting. And I don't know if you know this, Margaret. That has been by far our most popular show.
It's been listened to thousands of times, which is so cool and to see. And so if you're new to the podcast listening now, I highly recommend you go back and listen to that one because it's full of great stuff. Just for a quick introduction, Margaret is a Martha Beck certified Master Life Coach, a parenting coach, a nature-based coach, and a former teacher. She's also also the parent of a differently wired son and just personally has been a huge influence for me and also one of my lifelines during some more challenging parts of my own journey with Asher. So welcome back to the show, Margaret. I am so happy to be back. I know that we've gone back and forth via email and there's a lot of things that we could and want to talk about for episodes of the podcast, but today because it's June and kids are just getting out of school and many parents are facing anywhere from a few weeks to some parents have a few months of time away from school, we thought it would be a great time to look at the issue of summer survival.
Sounds like a mark. Burnett reality series when I say it like that.
