 Download The Companion Guide For Acceptance & Expectancy In Homeschooling Curious if OT could help your child's struggles? Download Why Choose OT to find out! This week we're exploring one of the most profound tensions parents face: finding the balance between fully accepting our children as they are, and encouraging them to stretch, grow, and gain independence. Drawing on neuroscience, executive functioning research, and real-life stories, I'll unpack why kids need opportunities to try, make mistakes, and try again, and how this very process helps their brains develop resilience and problem-solving skills. You'll learn about the "just right challenge," the science of how our brains learn from errors, and practical strategies for scaffolding your child's growth in daily homeschool life. From supporting hesitant writers, to helping kids take on chores and navigate perfectionism, I'll provide OT-friendly guidance you can apply today. Whether you're a seasoned homeschooler, a new parent, or somewhere in between, this episode offers both encouragement and actionable tools for nurturing independence, persistence, and confidence in your children. In this episode you'll hear about: Acceptance vs. Expectation in Parenting and HomeschoolingDefinition of acceptance: seeing children truly as they are now (sensory needs, executive functioning, emotional capacities)Definition of expectation: envisioning and believing in children's potential to stretch and growThe importance of balancing both for genuine child developmentKey Book Reference: Gretchen Rubin's "My Life in Five Senses"How the book's message applies to understanding and loving childrenParenting Challenges: Finding the BalanceThe need for balance for healthy growth and executive function developmentNeuroscience of Mistakes & LearningHow trial and error fosters executive skills (sequencing, planning, problem solving)Introduction to "error related negativity" (ERN) and "error positivity component" (PE)Physiology of mistake-driven learning and lifelong neuroplasticityHow Mistakes Fuel Learning & Executive FunctioningMistakes indicate active brain learning not failureImportance of applying neuroscience and OT principles at homeEmotional regulation and executive skills needed to cope with imperfectionStep-by-step modeling: starting imperfectly, co-regulating, collaborative effort, and gradual independenceAccepting where both child and parent are in the learning processCelebrating effort, process, and small steps forwardReminding parents progress is not always linear—growth happens in tiny stepsChoosing one area to support (writing, chores, routines, etc.)Questions for reflection: What does acceptance and expectation look like here?Identifying the current stage of gradual release for a childAllowing productive struggle and celebrating process over product Links and Resources From Today's Show Download The Companion Guide For Acceptance & Expectancy In HomeschoolingWhy Should I Seek Occupational Therapy?Connect with Sarah Collins on IGFree Trial of CTC MathHalf Priced Homeschool Discount- CTC MathThe Homeschool OT Teachers Pay TeachersHomeschool Daily Setup: Parental Planning GuideMind Your Errors: Evidence for a Neural Mechanism Linking Growth Mind-Set to Adaptive Posterror AdjustmentsEpisode 7: Form DrawingEpisode 8: Kaleb's Story Episode 56: Nurturing Young Minds Through WritingEpisode 66: Declarative Language Thank you to our title sponsor for this episode, CTC Math.
