Is Your Child in the Right School? (Ep. 172) | The Pediatrician Next Door - Simple Advice on...

Would your child be happier and more successful if they changed schools? In this episode, I share the four things I think matter most when deciding whether a school is a good fit and three questions to ask before making a change: What exactly isn't working? Have you tried to fix the problem where your child is now? Is your child simply struggling or are they deteriorating? There are more choices than ever: traditional public and private schools, charter schools, homeschooling, online programs, microschools, learning pods and more. But having more options can make it even harder to know what’s actually right for your child. The highest-ranked school isn't necessarily the best school for your child. The goal is to find an environment where your child can belong, learn, build relationships, handle challenges and thrive. Guest: Joshua Goodman, Phd (https://www.bu.edu/wheelock/profile/j...)
