Hey there, it's Debbie. For the month of November, I'll be sharing some of my favorite past episodes all about executive functioning, the set of skills that help our kids plan, organize, regulate, and follow through. Every Friday, you'll find an episode in your feed exploring topics like motivation, time management, flexibility, and scaffolding. If your child's executive function challenges have been showing up more lately, these conversations will give you some fresh insights and and practical tools to help. Welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Rieber, and this week is another special episode with our favorite renegade teacher-turned executive functioning coach and education coach, Seth Perler.
If you heard last week's episode, you know that Seth and Asher sat down for a conversation about resistance in a show that was especially designed for kids. If you haven't listened to that yet, that's okay. You can listen to these two in any order. So this week, Seth and I are going to go much more in depth into the topic of resistance and explore what it looks like in our kids and why it comes up, why it can sometimes be a good thing, and what it triggers. Triggers in us as our kids' parents. And of course, as always, Seth brings on the strategies and he's actually going to share nearly 30 strategies with us about how we can support our kids in working through their resistance. So with those 30 strategies, just a heads up, this is a long episode.
In fact, I think it's the longest one we've ever done. But the content is just so good that I wanted to share it for all of you here in a in a way that you can digest it and it can become truly actionable. So listen to this in chunks if you need to. So you can really let those strategies sink in and give yourself time to reflect on how the ideas relate to your family dynamic. All right, so here is my conversation with Seth. Hey Seth, welcome back to the podcast.
Good morning. It's so good to be here. I'm excited.
I am excited for this too because as we're recording this, the first part is about to come out. The first part of this, which for listeners, aired last week. And I actually edited much of this episode myself and it brought up so many questions for me. And and actually I just have to say, in hearing your conversation with Asher. Which I just loved getting to listen in on that. But hearing it, I was like, wow, this kid really knows a lot about this stuff. And yet it doesn't necessarily translate to actually practical day-to-day life. So that's I'm super curious to hear you go through this for parents and also really learn how we can best support our kids and just recognize that this is a l process, right?
It's not something that we can unfortunately we can't snap our fingers and have everything change.
That's one of the points I want to address today. Yes, it's a process and it's a lot longer than you think it's gonna be. So Yes,
yes. I'm getting that sense. So I would love you to just start us with this conversation. I'm just super excited to translate this uh for parents.
Okay, awesome. Well, in this podcast, I really wanted to go into I it was intended for back to school, but you can listen to it anytime because it has to do with resistance. And there are so many back to school things, and I loved helping people get back to school in a great way. But I w I wanted to think of sort of a really powerful creative way to approach back to school a little bit differently, and that is dealing with resistance.
