Expert Educator Clare Ford is back, and today's discussion revolves around children being MORE than their grades. As Clare tells us, we can't say grades don't matter because 80% of children are defining themselves by their grades, but we can teach them they are more than their grades. The landscape of education has shifted over the last year and a half as they were forced to pivot into online learning. We chat about whether or not you can rely on the school system to provide a complete education that meets children's needs, and how the pandemic has been a gamechanger in education. As always, there are tips and tricks scattered throughout the episode to help you meet the needs of your children. We spend a good bit of time talking about the special needs of highly sensitive and autistic children in today's education system. This is a wonderful episode for parents, grandparents, teachers and anyone that works with or around children. Y'all come on in!
