Christy also addresses common misconceptions about college and offers phrases that parents can use to respond to critics of their decision to pursue alternative paths. Takeaways: Colleges often white-label success as a result of obtaining a degree, but success is more closely tied to factors like family support and resources.Parents can help their children explore different career pathways through vocational creativity, which involves being aware of the work happening around them and recognizing the variety of jobs available.There are five degree-free options for children after high school: getting a job, on-the-job training or apprenticeships, earning a license or certification, building or buying a business, and learning a skill.Parents can respond to critics of their decision to pursue alternative paths by asking questions that highlight the financial realities of college and the importance of aligning education with the desired life outcomes.It is important to challenge the notion that a college degree is the only path to success and to consider alternative options that may better suit a child's interests and goals.About today’s guest: Hannah Maruyama and her husband Ryan build custom career roadmaps to help 16-20 year olds get great jobs without needing colleges degrees.

    Ep. 20 - Debunking Myths and Misconceptions About Speech Therapy (Part 2 of 2) // Amanda Owens
    Jun 13 2024
    We continue the conversation in Part 2 about empowering parents in the speech therapy process. Homeschooling can be the best option for speech and language development, as it allows for more individualized attention and conversation with adults. However, the current system of speech therapy in schools is often ineffective due to large caseloads and limited time with each child. Homeschooling parents who need speech therapy for their children can explore alternative options such as finding a smaller clinic or one-on-one therapist, looking for government assistance or scholarship programs, or considering online therapy. It is important for speech language pathologists to empower parents and involve them in the therapy process, as they play a crucial role in their child's progress. Additionally, there is a need for more training and awareness about the impact of tongue ties and orofacial myofunctional disorders on speech development. The traditional model of speech therapy may need to be reevaluated and adapted to better serve the needs of homeschooling families. Takeaways: Homeschooling can provide a conducive environment for speech and language development.The current system of speech therapy in schools is often ineffective due to large caseloads and limited time with each child.Homeschooling parents can explore alternative options for speech therapy, such as smaller clinics, one-on-one therapists, government assistance, scholarship programs, and online therapy.Speech language pathologists should empower parents and involve them in the therapy process.There is a need for more training and awareness about the impact of tongue ties and orofacial myofunctional disorders on speech development.The traditional model of speech therapy may need to be reevaluated and adapted to better serve the needs of homeschooling families.
