Dr. Silbert urges parents to stop blaming children or schools, become detectives about root causes (academic, social, emotional, bullying, sensory, or anxiety), and approach teachers and IEP meetings collaboratively. She emphasizes repairing parent-child friction by apologizing, listening, and teaching practical study skills in short, effective bursts rather than long sessions, noting that stress can make students “blank” during tests. Dr. Silbert describes gamifying reading intervention, using card-deck games, fluency activities, and plays aligned with Orton-Gillingham, to reduce anxiety, build confidence, and improve reading, and shares resources including her new book Why Good Kids Get Bad Grades.","meta_description":"Samantha and Lauren interviews Dr. Linda Silbert of Strong Learning Incorporated about supporting neurodivergent learners and reframing bad grades as symp…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1788,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/autistic-and-adhd-kids-parenting-strategies-every-brain-is-different-6469310/episodes/why-good-kids-get-bad-grades-becoming-your-child-s-ally-with-linda-silbert-ep-167/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/autistic-and-adhd-kids-parenting-strategies-every-brain-is-different-6469310/why-good-kids-get-bad-grades-becoming-your-child-s-ally-with-linda-silbert-ep-167.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
