Today, we’re talking to Phyllis Fagell, author of Middle School Matters. Phyllis is a school counselor, and author of the book Middle School Matters.
In this episode, Phyllis talks about ten key life skills through the lens of middle school. She discusses the importance of good friend choices and the influence of peer presence, reasons why we want to help our kids get clear on their values, the effects of the pandemic on kids as well as ways to mitigate those effects, navigating teacher/student mismatches, the imaginary audience, and the value of identifying emotions.

He's the founder of FireUpYourBrain.com, and creator of the Brain Speedball. Trent became a professional dancer after rehabilitating his own severe movement restrictions caused by a brain injury at birth, and has continued to work on understanding how the mind-body connection and neuroplasticity can be used to address challenges in attention, emotional regulation, and movement.

Today, we’re talking to Leanne Kaplan.
Leanne is a school psychologist working with elementary school students. I really enjoyed this conversation. It was both wide ranging, and insightful.
In today’s episode, Leanne talks about how school testing works. She shares the basic things we should, as well as things that don’t show up on tests and rating scales, the difference between private testing and school testing, and the importance of looking at the whole student to determine what’s best for your child.
