Round 3: An OT's Back-to-School Tips

Each month Meghan Corridan, a pediatric occupational therapist who blogs at MAC&Toys, joins Catherine to share some of what she’s learned from her clients and her own 5-year-old daughter. This time, they talked about making the transition back to school, but we think you’ll find this episode useful even if your kids have already kicked off the year. Meghan has clever advice about how to help kids problem-solve, what to look for at the open house, and even how to create a first day (or first week) tradition. Plus, Meghan and Catherine agree on how best to get your kid to talk about school (hint: you need accomplices). Meghan works with an after-school program called The Meeting House, and you can find more of her BTS advice at TMH’s blog.
