Would you say you're a ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ visual or an ๐Ÿ‘‚๐Ÿผ auditory learner? What if I told you that the research has actually debunked the theory that learning styles even exist?

ย 

So, then what actually is the best way for helping our kids to learn, feel successful, and become resilient?

ย 

That is exactly what Iโ€™ll be talking about with University of Virginia Professor of Psychology and the author of several amazing books, including the best-selling Why Don't Students Like School?, and most recently, Outsmart Your Brain, Dr. Dan Willingham.

ย 

In this episode weโ€™re shedding light on the factors that influence a child's sense of self-efficacy, the importance of a growth mindset, and the delicate balance between praising effort and problem-solving for success.

ย 

Whether youโ€™re a parent, teacher, or clinician, this is an episode you wonโ€™t want to miss!
