Episode description
It’s report card time! And we all know this can be a stressful time for learners and parents. Jane Linley-Thomas and psychologist Paul Bushell talk through how this can be an amazing moment for connection and growth for families.
This starts with making your child feel safe and seen, followed, by a focus on the remarks before the marks. And then a deep dive into what went well and not so well, and ways to set realistic goals for next year.
Jane shares how she and her Dad used to fold the report card in half and start with the comments.
As always, their insight is real, practical, and fun. It’s about turning something potentially hard, into something healing and hopeful. KindnessCan Website
