Ruth Episode 44

Episode 44 – Not Just Grades: Raising Confident Kids Who Learn Differently

So many neurodivergent kids are judged by grades — but what they really need is to feel seen and safe in their learning.

In this episode, Ruth dives into what it really means to learn differently and how to support children with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, PDA, and other learning profiles without sacrificing their emotional wellbeing.

💡 You'll learn:

  • Why emotional safety is key to academic success

  • How to celebrate progress instead of perfection

  • Ways to turn everyday life into learning moments

  • What success really looks like for differently-wired kids

Whether your child is in school, on an IEP, or learning at home, this episode will help you shift focus from “catching up” to growing strong.
