Empowering Families: The Power of Caregiver Coaching

October 29, 2026  |  Early Support  |  By Encompass

What’s the first thing you say to your kids when they get home from school?

If you’re like many of us, it often starts with a question. In our latest Radio Encompass Podcast, Encompass Developmental Specialist Sally Rasmussen shares why this might not be our best strategy, no matter the child’s age or how harmless the question may seem.

Our host, Caley George, sits down with Sally and Encompass parent Carson Powers to discuss Empowering Families: The Power of Caregiver Coaching. As part of our Early Support for Infants and Toddlers (ESIT) team, Sally shares some of her tips, techniques, and considerations, while Carson shares how that real-world application has made a noticeable difference for her family.
