Julia, how do you think you build buy-in?
8:36
Well, I think it starts by including the child in the process from the beginning.
8:41
I think sometimes we feel like as parents, you know, we want to hold it, but it's important to include especially older children in the process too.
8:50
Family situations can differ so much in why they're applying to schools.
8:55
And we can definitely include a child even as young as kindergarten, but definitely older in the process.
9:01
It's a natural step, especially if it's a natural step, like if their school ends before kindergarten or middle school, share about this next step.
9:10
If you're considering shifting from public to private or switching private schools, include the why with your child.
12:57
Can you give me some ideas of what that type of practice looks like at home?
