What does – and doesn't – matter in a child's learning | Podcast Episode 286

What are the factors that matter – like, REALLY matter, over the long haul – versus those that don't, in your child's education?

(Quick heads-up: starting this coming Monday, July 15 I'm offering a program to help you do less for your child, and feel good about it! It's called "21 Days to Independence for your child… and for you."
In these 3 weeks we will cover: how to not be your child's personal entertainer; how to stop hovering, for your benefit AND theirs; how to help them resolve conflicts, and more! The program takes place right in your inbox, so it's super convenient as well as helpful.
Because I'm working closely with each participant, space is limited, and spots are filling up! Click weturnedoutokay.com/indy to learn more and register.)

I'm sure you'll agree that getting a kid's education right is critical.

It's not just critical while they're small. Screwing up a kid's education can impact their whole lives.

And yet, it happens every day, when even well-intentioned and goodhearted people focus on the wrong stuff.

Because you listen to this show, I know that you are well-intentioned and goodhearted. So I'm helping you focus on the right stuff today.

Find out what really matters in your child's education in this episode of We Turned Out Okay!

Plus in Parenting News: In this recent Education Weekly article, the idea of "growth mindset versus fixed mindset" is re-examined… We investigate in this week's Parenting News segment.
