But what does that really mean, and what does an assessment for a child entail?  How long will my child need therapy? Should I worry about my child being labeled?

On this episode of Let's Just Talk, hosted by Kathryn Raaker, we welcome three insightful guests who bring knowledge, purpose, and inspiration.

Dr. Samuel L. Blumenthal, retired clinical psychologist and author, joins us to discuss his latest book, "Once Upon a Time: A Collection of Short Stories for Those Trying to Find Their Way Home, Volume Two." Through rich storytelling and gospel truths, Dr. Blumenthal emphasizes writing as an "act of faith," aimed at helping others in their journey of sanctification. He shares, “The gospel—creation, fall, redemption, restoration—comes alive when we see life as a four-chapter story.”

Scott Miller, USPS Safety and Health Awareness Specialist, shares important tips for staying safe around one of the largest vehicle fleets in the nation. With over 246,000 postal vehicles on the road, Scott emphasizes the importance of public awareness to protect postal workers and community members alike. His practical advice includes slowing down near delivery trucks, checking blind spots, avoiding distractions, and not blocking postal vehicles.

Dr. Amy Jackson, Chief Early Learning Strategy Officer at Primrose Schools, highlights the critical importance of early childhood education. She discusses what parents should look for in preschools—from curriculum to teacher qualifications—and offers guidance on being active partners in their child’s learning. Her insights empower parents to lay a strong foundation for lifelong success.
