Hey everybody, it's Carrie Clark, and you are listening to episode number 55 of the Speech and Language Kids Podcast. This is the podcast with resources and activities for speech therapists as well as parents of children with speech and language delays. Today I am going to be talking to you about how to work smarter to help your children with speech and language skills. So this is all gonna be about managing your stress, reducing your stress, reducing Yeah. trying to get you to be um at your optimal so that you can help those kiddos with speech and language needs. This is coming out right around the new year, just a little bit into January. So I know that this is gonna be an important topic as we move into the new year of
kinda how to do some self-care for yourself and make sure that while you're helping either your child or your students with speech and language needs, that you're also um, you know, making it as least least stressful on yourself as possible and uh just trying to get through it because I know this is not an easy thing to do. So we're gonna talk about some things that parents can do to make working on speech at home a little easier. And we're gonna talk about some things that therapists can do to make the stressful job of a speech therapist a little bit easier. Um and some of these are gonna be similar to last week's blog post, which was about um t uh it was nine tips to reduce burnout for speech therapists.
A lot of speech therapists I hear about are love they love what they do and they love helping the kids, but sometimes the huge caseloads and the paperwork, it gets very overwhelming and it's easy to feel like you're getting burned out. So hopefully this will help you um kind of not not fall into that trap of feeling burned out and stressed out, uh, so that you can still be there to help your kiddos with speech and language needs. So we're gonna jump right in. Um oh well I do I say we're gonna jump right in and then I back up. Before we jump right in, let me just tell you, uh this is the first podcast, uh, this one for the new year, and I am going to um I'm kind of switching up my schedule this year.
This year the plan is to do one of this podcast every month, and it's gonna be about the the topic that is the theme for that month. And I'm also gonna be adding episodes to my other podcast too, which will get, I will do about two per month on that one. So it'll be about three podcasts per month, just short of once per week. Um so if you're used to getting my once weekly podcast, go ahead and subscribe to that other one as well. It's called Speech Therapy Storm of the Brains. And with that one, I'm going to be bringing guest, um, guest speech therapists on. And they're gonna help me come up with ideas to speech therapy questions. So if you've been on the website lately, you'll notice there's a little pop-up on the side that allows you to enter a question.
and then we're gonna take those questions, brainstorm some ideas and throw 'em back at ya. So If you have any questions on speech therapy things, definitely go over and leave that question on the website. And then you can head over to on iTunes and go to Speech Therapy Storm of the Brains and subscribe to that other podcast as well. Alrighty. Okay, so let's jump right in. I'm gonna go over a lot of different things and these are all written down in the show notes. So if you wanna go to speechandlanguage kids dot com slash episode five five, then you can get to the show notes for this where I've written all of this out and I've included all the links. So I'm gonna talk about a bunch of different links today, and all of that is there.
So speechandlanguage kids.com slash episode five five. Alright, so our first thing today we're gonna talk about is how to manage your time. So for parents, this means how to manage your time, the time when you are working on speech and language skills with your child. Now I think it's really important, especially for parents, to help their children understand that there is a specific time of the day where you will be working on their speech skills, but it won't be all day long.
