Connection & Restoration: Helping Kids Learn from Mistakes with Bridget Johnson
<p>What should parents do when a child makes a poor decision, gets in trouble at school, or feels like they do not belong?</p><p>In this episode of <i>What Great Teachers Know That All Parents Can Use</i>, Peyten Williams talks with Bridget Johnson, founder and CEO of Dean’s Roundtable, about how parents and schools can help children learn from mistakes without rescuing them from consequences.</p><p>Bridget shares insights from her experience as a school dean and explains why adults should lead with “connection before correction.” Together, Peyten and Bridget discuss how curiosity can transform difficult conversations, why parents should avoid immediately “coming in hot,” and how strong partnerships between families and schools support children more effectively.</p><p>They also explore the pressures facing today’s students, including social media, overscheduling, lack of sleep, college admissions anxiety, sports commitments, and the constant drive to achieve. Bridget encourages families to pause and consider whether their goals reflect what their child truly wants—and whether children still have enough time and space simply to be children.</p><p>You will also learn how restorative practices combine accountability with relationship repair. Consequences still matter, but children also need opportunities to understand the harm they caused, make amends, rebuild trust, and return to their community with dignity.</p><p>In this episode:</p><ul><li>How to ask questions that help children tell the full story</li><li>Why connection should come before correction</li><li>How to partner with teachers, deans, and school leaders</li><li>Signs that a child may be overscheduled or overwhelmed</li><li>How social media and achievement pressure affect belonging</li><li>What restorative discipline looks like at school and at home</li><li>How to hold children accountable with both strength and kindness</li><li>Why parents and children need more grace, reflection, and opportunities for a “do-over”<p></p><p>Bridget Johnson is the founder of the <b>Deans’ Roundtable</b>, a professional development community for student life professionals.</p><p>The Roundtable was <b>created in 2012</b> after Bridget identified a significant void in professional support for those in student life roles.</p><p>Since its inception, the Roundtable has hosted an <b><i>annual conference</i></b> that attracts student life professionals from across the country, providing them with opportunities to connect, learn, and share best practices.</p><p></p><p><b>LinkedIn</b>: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bridget-johnson510/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/bridget-johnson510/</a></p><h3>Instagram: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/deansroundtable/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/deansroundtable/</a></h3><h3>Tiktok: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@deansroundtable_" target="_blank">https://www.tiktok.com/@deansroundtable_</a></h3><h3>YouTube: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@DeansRoundtable" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@DeansRoundtable</a></h3><h3>Website:<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://deansroundtable.org/" target="_blank"> https://deansroundtable.org/</a></h3></li></ul>

How to Help Kids Learn Grammar Without Shame with Patty McGee
<p>In this episode of What Great Teachers Know That All Parents Can Use, Peyten Williams talks with Patty McGee, traveling teacher and author of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Not-Your-Grannys-Grammar-Instruction/dp/1071941674?crid=3SL9XIVJG9QCT&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Z7Jc7GA4pjhOH2lp24T95gz-PHxDx4YztSI50z5ZjDdKHAbZsfWzZDAJRptpCsa-Jbv_TSmIBtzJZOdrVvLMcv-g9t3bflLJL-qyojYZG7KzBbld7tbUNAv19wFYb-9u5007Wlr_iVazSpIKnGuCYHmWFKs8z1GtJZ2w9Pybg3YF915xjqJ-Zm9fb3Kx-g6G.xbASRplNHAR1FXYE1HHU79i5QvjEPiDMv2hIGIt5ZxE&dib_tag=se&keywords=not+your+granny%27s+grammar&qid=1781477383&sprefix=not+your+granny%27s+gramm%2Caps%2C286&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll2&tag=bowbend20-20&linkId=62c6a529972e1233465b734be03eec1d&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl" target="_blank">Not Your Granny’s Grammar</a>, about how parents and teachers can rethink the way children learn grammar.</p><p>For many adults, grammar brings up memories of worksheets, red pens, and feeling corrected or left behind. Patty offers a different vision: grammar as a creative tool writers use to build meaning, shape sentences, and communicate clearly.</p><p>Peyten and Patty discuss why shame-based grammar instruction often does not work, how children develop as writers, and why grammar play can be more effective than grammar drills. Patty shares simple, low-pressure ways parents can support writing at home through sentence games, word cards, magnetic poetry, Mad Libs, and everyday conversation.</p><p>They also explore early writing development, including invented spelling and “scribble writing,” and how parents can respond in ways that build confidence instead of discouragement.</p><p>One of Patty’s most helpful strategies is to notice a strength, then offer the next step: “Because you can do this, you are ready to try this next.” That small shift helps children see writing as a path toward growth, not constant correction.</p><p>This episode is especially helpful for parents, teachers, homeschool families, and anyone who wants children to become confident writers without fear, shame, or the grammar police.</p><p>Patty McGee is a nationally recognized literacy consultant, speaker, educator, and author of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Not-Your-Grannys-Grammar-Instruction/dp/1071941674?crid=3SL9XIVJG9QCT&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Z7Jc7GA4pjhOH2lp24T95gz-PHxDx4YztSI50z5ZjDdKHAbZsfWzZDAJRptpCsa-Jbv_TSmIBtzJZOdrVvLMcv-g9t3bflLJL-qyojYZG7KzBbld7tbUNAv19wFYb-9u5007Wlr_iVazSpIKnGuCYHmWFKs8z1GtJZ2w9Pybg3YF915xjqJ-Zm9fb3Kx-g6G.xbASRplNHAR1FXYE1HHU79i5QvjEPiDMv2hIGIt5ZxE&dib_tag=se&keywords=not+your+granny%27s+grammar&qid=1781477383&sprefix=not+your+granny%27s+gramm%2Caps%2C286&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll2&tag=bowbend20-20&linkId=62c6a529972e1233465b734be03eec1d&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl" target="_blank">Not Your Granny’s Grammar.</a></p><p>Connect with Patty:<br />Website: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.pattymcgee.org" target="_blank">www.pattymcgee.org</a><br />Instagram: @pmgmcgee<br />LinkedIn: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/patty-mcgee-36507926/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/patty-mcgee-36507926/</a></p>
