Q&A: My sensitive kid got the "strict" teacher and I'm worried they won't vibe. Is there anything I can do as a parent to help?

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...

What to do if your child is assigned a teacher whose style may not seem like the best match.
How to advocate for your child in a way that supports collaboration and avoids conflict.
Why starting the school year with a proactive email to the teacher can set the tone for a strong partnership.
The surprising benefits a strict or "old school" teacher might actually offer sensitive kids.
How to prepare your child to advocate for themselves, build resilience, and navigate new classroom dynamics.
What to do if things don't go as hoped—and how to intervene effectively if your child truly isn't thriving in the classroom.

If you're feeling anxious about the upcoming school year and unsure how to support your child through a potentially tricky teacher match, this episode will help you feel more grounded, empowered, and ready to approach it with openness and confidence.
