  Speaker 2: A shot to win a trip on us is coming
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: up next. Plus you get to take a friend and
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: it's so much fun, so make sure you listen. It's
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: mixed one or two point nine ability to kid. Canda

  Speaker 2: Slowpez is here, so is producer Pooh. It is time
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: for your dirty little secret. And if you got one
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: eight three, three, seven, eight seven, one oh two nine,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter what that secret is. Bring it on.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: So let's start already. You know, we just started back
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: to school and I'm already failing as a mom. Totally,
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: no failing.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: You said you're failing.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: No, I am failing. Yes, my daughters. She just started
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: third grade this year and she is the light of
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: my life. I love her more than anything. She's funny,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: she's creative, she's sweet. She has this huge personality just
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: shines like, you know, like the sun. But school and
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: academics are are a bit more of a struggle for her.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: And her biggest problem is with math. Okay, so for
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: some reason she just doesn't get it. It doesn't click.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I mean she'll sit there and she tries hard.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: With me I'm still aftruggled in third grade with it.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: My dad had to buy me a cassette tape with
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the multiplication tables on it. Because I could learn music,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I could learn lyrics, but I couldn't do multipation. Yeah
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: it was a song and so I could do it.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: So a lot of people deal with this struggle. But
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: she's struggling. Yeah, some academic especially math. I get it.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean she just gets totally frustrated because you know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: the other kids in the class will catch on right away,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: and it's just not happening anyhow. So this year, the
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: school put her in like a special smaller class that
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: supposedly gives the kids more attention and extra help when
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: they're struggling a bit, or you know, maybe it just
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: takes them a while longer to catch on, which is good.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: That's all good. But my secret is that I didn't
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: tell her this. And you know, since it's a separate
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: class from like what most of the kids are doing
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: for their math. I told her that it's a special
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: advanced class because she's really smart, so she gets to
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: be in this different class. Oh no, wait, so you
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: told I know.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: So she's in a special class for people who you
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: know might take a little more effort.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And yeah, they can allow a little more time and
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: have more patience with the way they learn.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: And you told her it was an ap class. Oh no, mom,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I know her, you know, I know.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's like it might sadder down that you
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: know you're going into this class because you're you know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: you're behind the other kids. I mean, she wouldn't hear,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: you know, you just learned differently and need you know,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: a little more attention. She'd just hear I'm dumb, I'm stupid.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I get your attentions where.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Well, I can't let her think she's dumb, because that's
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: not going to help things either. I mean, you know,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: it's just gonn only make it worse. And the thing is,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: it's like my fan has worked just a little bit
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: too well, and she's.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Like really proud.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Now she's telling tell your grandparents, Oh, I'm in an
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: advanced chlair. I heard her tell another mother, you know, Oh, well,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: I'm in the smart kid math class this year. No,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm like Diana, I want to go. I'm
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: scared that some other kids are going to like realize
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: and say, you know, and correct her and say, oh, no,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm going to figure out that this is
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: not exactly what this class is and realize that maybe
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: I didn't tell her the truth. So I mean, I'm
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: probably not handling this the right way. But you know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I think maybe I don't know if I could have
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: explained it different instead of completely making something.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Up to should have.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: You're kind of locked in.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: That's the Problemise like, now what do you do? Exactly
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: what do you do now that we're in this situation
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: that you are, well, she thinks she's Einstein, and that's
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the opposite. I don't think you can do anything. And
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: now you have to just let it ride out. You
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: have to, if anything, you have a conversation with her
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: about going, hey, listen, some some people just I wouldn't
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: brag about anything. Let's talk about that, like, let's not
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: talk about what you're in and what other people aren't.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Let's just make other kids jealous.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: No, don't say that. And then you curb that, and
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: then eventually she can just like maybe this is just
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the excitement, or she'll forget that there's anything different about it,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: and she'll just go to class and it is what
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: it is, all right too?
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: For your sake.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: But you're doing the best you can as a mom.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: You didn't do anything wrong. You might it might be
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: a little bit misguided. Yeah that's what we're saying.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, misguided guided.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: But thank you for confessing that. Yes, let us know
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: what happens though. Okay, trying to be a good parent,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: that's all I'm trying to do. You know, Like we
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: were talking about earlier, my friend Matt, who is you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: he took a different size bus to school, don't you
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with the short bus. Yeah he did,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: and that's fine. And his mom said, oh, it's because
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: it's faster, and that's that's what he believed, and that's
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: and I would always stick up for him, like, yeah, no,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: it is fast with other kids in the bus stop,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: you're the same bus stop. Well, Crystal messaged me and
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: she said she took that bus too to school and
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: her mom told her the same things.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: People lost stops.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah see it's yes, it's it's just an express bus. Yeah,
• 5:53
