Talk Show Host Val Warner on Balanced Parenting

It is important, to be honest on the topic of parenting because people would be lying if they tell you that this stage is going to be perfect but it is not, there is going to be ups and downs on it. Also, it is okay to be an imperfect parent because we are not perfect but if we do all the things that being a parent implies with love, care and affection we will give the best from ourselves. And the last part is about listening to the kids, sometimes the adults do not put much effort to listen to their kids because they tend to be immature, but this is wrong. It is important for us as adults to listen to what they would say because sometimes we do not realize that we are doing something wrong.

Key takeaways

  1. Be honest and transparent on the topic of parenting.
  2. It is okay to be imperfect in raising your kids. The important thing is to give it your best.
  3. Listen to what your kids have to say and be attentive.

Is your child struggling in school?

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
