Your child is not their report card.

“The value, the worth of who you are in my relationship with you, parent to child, that doesn’t change regardless of how you do in school.” — Dr. Tim Yen

Grades matter, but they’re not who your kid is. Praise the things they control: how kind they are, how hard they work, and the choices they make. When school is just school, your child can feel safe, supported, and loved either way.

Save this for the next report card day, and send it to a parent who needs the reminder.

New episodes of Choose Better in Real Life are on YouTube. Free eBook linked in bio.

Wondering if your insurance will cover a psychological assessment? The answer isn't always straightforward.

Coverage can depend on your insurance plan, the type and purpose of the assessment, whether the provider is in-network, and whether prior authorization is required. You may also have a deductible, copay, or coinsurance.

Before scheduling an assessment, contact your insurance provider and ask:

🧠 Is psychological testing covered under my plan?
đź“‹ Is this specific type of assessment covered?
đź’ł What will my out-of-pocket cost be?
🏥 Is the provider in-network?
đź“„ Do I need prior authorization?

Understanding your benefits ahead of time can help you avoid unexpected costs and feel more prepared.
