Navigating School Transitions & Parenting Tips for Military Families

In the latest episode, the focus shifts from a planned book review on Dr. Aliza Pressman's parenting principles to a more relevant discussion for military families moving their kids to new schools.

Diving into personal development, I share insights from 'How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk' by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish, relating it to their own experiences and the challenges of school transitions due to military relocations.

The episode offers practical advice for organizing important documents, engaging with new communities, and utilizing resources like the Youth Sponsorship Program to ease these transitions.

 Furthermore, it highlights the importance of personal involvement in educational settings and introduces listeners to helpful tools and checklists for a smoother school switching process.
