Please join us as we delve into the honest, unfiltered realities of raising children, where we embrace the messiness, mess-ups, and tribulations that come with the territory.
My name is Chananya [cha-nan-ya, when saying the "CH", pretend you have something stuck in your throat] Abraham, psychotherapist, parent to 5 amazing children, and parent advocate of embracing imperfections! This podcast offers a relatable and inclusive space for parents from all different cultures, nationalities, and religions. We believe that parenting is a universal journey, and it's okay to admit that we don't always have our s**t together. Please feel free to share tips and tricks that work for you and the best ways to hide that white wine or mixed drink without your kids knowing.
Each episode features engaging discussions and heartfelt stories from fellow parents who are navigating the unpredictable, yet amazing terrain of raising children. Our guests, ranging from “experts” to everyday moms and dads, share their personal experiences, insights, and strategies for surviving the challenging yet rewarding moments of parenthood.
But don't worry, we don't take ourselves too seriously. Laughter is the best medicine, and we sprinkle our conversations with plenty of humor, relatable anecdotes, and the occasional drink recipe. After all, a good sense of humor can be a lifesaver when facing those unexpected parenting curveballs.

School Challenges: Tips for Parents with Gabriela Deambrosio - Episode 45
Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of "Parenting is Easy Said No One Ever." I'm your host, Chananya Abraham. Today, we have an amazing conversation with Gabriela Deambrosio, an educational consultant based across America. We're thrilled to have her with us before the school year starts to discuss vital aspects of our children's education.
Setting the Stage for Success in Education
As the new school year approaches, it's crucial to set our kids up for educational success. Think of education like a dining experience—it's not just the food itself, but the atmosphere, ambiance, and company that enhance the experience. Similarly, the educational environment is just as important as the schooling itself. This involves the community, family, and professionals like neuropsych evaluators and speech therapists who support our kids outside the school setting.
Key Areas Parents Need to Know
One of the first areas Gabriela addresses is the importance of early identification of a child's needs. Often, learning disabilities go unnoticed, leading to secondary issues like low self-esteem and school avoidance. Early identification can pave the way for more targeted support and better outcomes for our children.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Neuropsychological Evaluations
- Understanding IEPs and 504 Plans
- The Role of Educational Advocates
- Medication and Executive Functioning
- Respecting Teachers
- The Impact of Technology
Parents as Pillars of Support
As parents, we are the primary advocates for our children. Gabriela reminds us that our actions and attitudes significantly impact our children’s behavior and learning. Leading by example and fostering a supportive home environment can make a world of difference.
