The School Speak Decoding Guide
Stop decoding in your head. Start protecting your child on paper.
The email pings your inbox:
“She needs to work on self-regulation.”
“We’ve noticed some defiance.”
Your heart sinks. You replay the day. You second-guess your kid. You second-guess yourself. And you spend hours decoding what the school is really saying.
Here’s the truth: schools have their own coded language. And unless you know how to translate it, those vague phrases can snowball into labels that follow your child for years.
What’s Inside:
30 Common School Phrases - Translated. From “attention-seeking” to “not a good fit.”
Your Power Moves. Exact questions and advocacy language to flip the script.
Red Flag Terms. The labels that stick forever if you don’t stop them early.
Email & Meeting Scripts. Plug-and-play templates that sound confident, not combative.
Somatic Reset Toolkit. ND nervous system hacks so you don’t reply from panic.
Case Studies. Before & after snapshots that show how one reframe shifts an entire record.
Why This Matters:
Because “self-regulation issues” isn’t just a phrase. It’s a story about your child one that shapes teacher expectations, peer perceptions, and even eligibility for opportunities.
This guide makes sure you control the narrative.
