[00:00:00] Does this sound familiar? Your phone dings with another email from school. Deep breath, what now? Or you leave a school meeting with more questions than answers. Wondering if you need a school jargon translator, or just a strong cup of coffee.
Hi, I'm Scotti Weintraub, host of Unlocking School Success: Smart Strategies and Support Parents Need to Help Their Kids Thrive. The podcast for parents who want to stop feeling lost in the wilderness of school challenges. You want tools, not just talk. Clarity, not chaos. And real ways to support your child at school without burning out or feeling like you're going it alone.
I've sat through those meetings you're dreading. I've been where you are, and the work is personal for me. I've parented my own two teens through anxiety learning differences and the exhausting process of advocating with schools. Along the way, I've gathered strategies at work, found questions that [00:01:00] opened doors, and learned to shed my own good girl tendencies to fight for what my kids need.
On the Unlocking School Success podcast, I'll be sharing these tools, resources, and the kind of parent to parent support I wish I had when I was deep in the school struggle with my own kids. Plus I'll be bringing in expert guests, like therapists and teachers to help you connect the dots and turn insight into action.
If you've tried all the things emailed, met with teachers, stayed calm, but your kid's still struggling and the school keeps handing you one size fits none advice, you're in the right place.

School counselors do a lot more than many parents realize. In this episode, Rachel Davis shares the many ways counselors can support kids socially, emotionally, behaviorally, and academically. We talk about what that support can look like, how counselors work with teachers and parents to get a fuller picture of what’s going on, and how they can help families find the right resources and support when their child is struggling at school.
