Parent–teacher conferences are one of the best opportunities to understand how your child is really doing at school, not just academically, but socially, emotionally, and in their day-to-day functioning. As neuropsychologists, we know that grades alone rarely tell the full story.

That’s why we put together 9 neuropsych-informed questions to help parents go deeper during conferences. These questions give you insight into your child’s:
• Executive functioning (planning, organization, transitions)
• Attention and self-regulation
• Social relationships and classroom dynamics
• Learning stamina and processing
• Strengths and areas of growth

If you’ve ever walked out of a conference wishing you had asked different questions or had a clearer understanding of what your child experiences at school, this guide is for you.

Save this post for your next conference—and feel free to share it with another parent or teacher who might find it helpful.

If your child struggles with anxiety, it doesn’t mean something is wrong. It means their brain is doing exactly what it’s designed to do: protect them.

Our goal isn’t to eliminate anxiety, but to help kids understand it. When they can recognize what they’re feeling, name it, and learn how to respond, they stop feeling overwhelmed and start feeling empowered.

When kids understand their anxiety, they no longer feel trapped by it. They feel in charge of it.

With your support and the right tools they can grow braver, calmer, and more confident every time.

When report cards come home, the first words out of our mouths matter more than the grades themselves.

They teach kids how to handle feedback, with curiosity or with fear.

Try swapping criticism for curiosity:
❌ “What happened here?”
✅ “Can you help me understand what made this class harder?”

That one small shift helps kids stay calm enough to think and not shut down. When children feel safe, their brains move out of defense mode and into problem-solving mode. That’s where real growth happens. Not just academically, but emotionally, too.

At Insight Collective, we help kids build the reflection and self-regulation skills that turn hard moments into learning opportunities.
