What do you do when your child just isn’t interested in reading? When phonics feels like a battle, motivation is low, and you’re wondering if something is wrong?

In this episode, we talk about reading readiness, child development, and why motivation cannot be forced. I share what actually matters in the early years, how pressure can backfire, and how to tell the difference between a true concern and simple developmental timing.

If you’re worried your child is behind or unmotivated, this conversation will help you step back, stay calm, and move forward with confidence.
