What are the biggest priorities for parents and educators as kids return to school in 2021?
In other words, it's not so much about the message, but it's that we've worked on ourselves and we try, we show through modeling and through our nervous system that we are a safe, grounded human being that they can come to and they can tell us anything. They can tell us anything and we will listen and we will be patient and And we will not lecture and use rationalizing and try to get them to see the light and reason with them. And we will not invalidate their feelings and say, oh, you shouldn't feel this way or you shouldn't think that or you shouldn't whatever. But we will say with curiosity, wow, tell me more.
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 Reber. In this episode, I'm excited to bring you a thoughtful and practical conversation about the particular considerations for this back to school season. For many kids, the first time back in a physical classroom in over a year. And who better to have this conversation with than a friend of the show and our favorite renegade teacher turned executive function coach, Seth Perler. For those who are new to the show, Seth's mission is to help struggling students navigate a crazy educational landscape while doing his part to disrupt and improve education.
And he's been on the show a number of times to talk about executive function, resistance, and shortcomings in our school system. As we prepare for the upcoming school year, there is so much anxiety in the air. And Seth and I keep hearing from parents, what's it going to be like? What about learning loss? How can I support my neurodivergent child with yet another adjustment? So Seth and I wanted to talk frankly about all these concerns and more. In our conversation, Seth talks about the challenges parents, caregivers and educators face in supporting our kids post pandemic, what our biggest priorities should be, and gives us concrete suggestions on specific things to do to help our kids and ourselves prepare for the transition back to school after a difficult and disruptive year.
I can always count on Seth to bring passion, practicality and profound insights to our discussions. I hope this conversation helps you feel confident and hopeful as we head back to school. Hey, Seth, welcome back to the podcast.
Awesome to be with you again, Debbie.
Yeah, I was going to say something really special about you being the most celebrated guest on the show you've been on more than anyone else. But I did not prepare a speech. But congratulations. So, first of all, listeners. Please check out the show notes pages because Seth has been on this show a lot. We collaborate often. We are good friends. We are on the same page in this work that we're doing. And so if you are new to this show, go back and listen to those episodes because there's a lot of good stuff there. And you'll get to know Seth through that as well if you're not familiar with him. But I'd love if you just kind of tell us what's happening in your world. How are you doing right now? And what's new and exciting for you?
Yeah. Well, you just said that we're on the same page. It's so good to collaborate with you. You're one of my favorite people. You're my favorite education podcaster in the world. And being on the same page and related to what's going on with me means that I'm in the midst of, as always, of my life's work and trying to sort of figure out how I can use the last however many decades of my life to contribute to kids and education and humanity and the world and people having good lives. So that's where I think you and I are, you know, we're coming from this place of there's some crazy gene that we have that we're like obsessed with that sort of a question. Like what can we do to bring good? Um, and we just happen to, you know, our ways through trying to help kids.
So, um, I'm doing, I'm overwhelmed with those things. I get so many ideas and I have a lot of coals in the fire, some that my audience knows about and some that my audience doesn't know about, but that where I'm just always trying and you know, the, um, I run a summit, which is coming up and, um,
