Ep 22: Week 5 – When School Isn’t Their Happy Place

"Your child doesn’t need you to solve every school struggle — they need to know their feelings are valid, their experience is seen, and that no matter what, you’re in their corner." --Angela

In this episode, listeners will learn:

• How to identify the real reasons behind “I hate school” moments.
• Practical ways to partner with teachers to create a supportive plan.

When school isn’t your child’s happy place, it can feel heavy for the whole family. In this episode of Mama, Let’s Talk, part five of our School Year Strong series, we’re diving into the reality of kids who dread school — and what we can do as parents to support them. From spotting the real root of their struggle, to partnering with teachers, to equipping them with comfort anchors and coping skills, you’ll walk away with practical tools you can start using right away.

But this conversation goes deeper than strategies. It’s about reminding our kids that they’re not alone. With steady love at home, open communication, and small moments of joy outside the classroom, we can give them the resilience and confidence they need to face hard things — not just in school, but in life.
