I'm kicking off the Gratitude Series in November with a free guide for parents today...and a limited time extra discount for those who read all the way to the end!
💜 Have an older child? Don’t skip this! These reflection questions still help you set goals for their social and emotional growth this year.
Parent-teacher conferences can feel like speed-dating for your child’s entire school life.
- Fifteen minutes: One small window to understand how your child is really doing; academically, emotionally, and socially.
If you only have 15 short minutes with your child’s teacher, here’s the one thing that will make every second count:
👉Get the free guide and read it before you walk into that meeting
Because it helps you organize your thoughts and questions before your meeting. More importantly, it helps your child’s teacher see your child through the same social and emotional lens we’ve been practicing here at Parenting REdefined.
Instead of rushing through test scores and missing assignments, this 2-page printable helps you both view your child through curiosity and connection.
You’ll walk in calm, ask questions that matter, and walk out knowing what’s really supporting (or stressing) your child’s learning and friendships.
You may remember the conference guide from 2024. That one is still available, link below. Some parents chose to leave it with the teacher to think over and fill out later and that is a great idea, too!
2025 edition goes deeper.
It helps you talk about what truly shapes your child’s success:
👉 Emotional Regulation & Capacity
👉 Communication & Connection
👉 Executive Function & Working Memory
👉 Social Development & Friendship Growth
👉 Belonging & Confidence
Each section includes:
- short explanations
- references from
- Specific newsletter articles (view past issues on my website)
- Abenojar Social Growth & Mastery Framework Video (free to you!)
- Friendship Navigator video (keep reading for the big discount)

Four visual guides that make abstract social concepts easier to explain: Friendship Circles, the Friendship Ladder, the Friendship Staircase, and the Friendship Map.
A step-by-step workshop for teaching your child how friendships form, grow, and change over time.
It’s still a great resource, especially if you want a quick, checklist-style format.
NORIKO'S NOTES: sharing my life's simple joys💜
I have to show you my furbabies dressed up for Halloween. I have one that loves to dress up (it's true!) and the other who gives me the side eye whenever I try something like that.
I'm sure you can guess which one is totally into dressing up and pranced around the neighborhood in his costume.
Thank you for letting me share my simple joy💜.
