We provide parents and clinicians with information about social skill building and character development, using online materials and our podcast.
Be a Problem Solver Services are Kate (M.Ed., CCC-SLP) and Cory (Ph.D., LPCA, NCC) - a wife speech pathologist and husband mental mental health counselor who focus on bringing you information about social skill development and character building. We both practice independently, and then come together to collaborate on important social skills issues that we hear from our clients over and over again!
We love social skill building and character development, and we created this podcast so we could talk about it all the time! Whether your a parent or clinician, we know that you'll get a lot out of listening because we give quick tips with examples of how to handle social skill challenges, emotion regulation, and build character along the way. Let's help to raise our kids to be kind, good, humans.
Today Dr. Cory is joined by Kaliq Alexander from the Rainbow Collective for Change (https://www.rainbowcollectiveforchange.org/ ). They discuss the Rainbow Collective's mission and how you can help your child to recognize the diversity in the world.

It is no surprise that virtual learning has been hard. But also, what has it shown us about the education system? How can we ask questions about what we DO WANT in an education system? Perhaps we will look back at this generation and they will be the ones that finally change the system as the result of their experience.

This week we are talking about tween and teen identity - and how it is impacted by the public world of social media. Recent literature (Duffy, 2019) has shown us that there are 3 big takeaways from examining tween and teen identity in the social media world: 1) Social media is an exercise in self-presentation, 2) The challenge teens face is to negotiate individual privacy alongside the demands for information made by the logics of social media, ‘trying to be in public without always being public’, 3) , social media is a platform for experimenting in social identity.
