After many first days, forgotten water bottles, uneaten lunches, chaotic mornings and three very different kids, Andryanna is heading into this school year with a different goal: preparing less for the perfect first week and more for a sustainable school year.
In this episode, she shares five back-to-school lessons she’s learned along the way, including what recent conversations with parenting and education experts have changed about her approach. She also weighs in on the viral Oreo-gate debate and shares the hilarious story of her own kindergarten lunch wake-up call.
In this episode:
Why the same routines and expectations won’t work for every child;
Creating systems that work with the kids you have;
Supporting independence without becoming your child’s personal assistant;
Asking what might be underneath behaviour before jumping in to fix it;
Why protecting confidence matters, especially for kids who receive a lot of correction;
Navigating siblings, different needs and the reality that fair is not equal;
The difference between advocating for our kids and removing every uncomfortable experience;
Andryanna’s take on Oreo-gate and what her own lunch-box experience taught her about easing up;
Why the first few weeks of school are information, not a test of whether you got your routines “right”;
Focusing on a sustainable school year instead of performing for the first week.
