92. Your Kid Needs THESE Skills to Be Okay
Description
Many smart students struggle in school because no one ever taught them the actual skills of learning.
In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, Iâm sharing highlights from a larger free parent training I created. Youâll hear why âstudy harderâ is bad advice, why motivation isnât the magic fix we think it is, and what students really need to thrive in school and beyond.
Parents, this oneâs especially for you, but students, if youâre listening, youâll benefit too.
(The full training has slides and visuals, so I highly recommend you grab that here.)
What You'll Learn:
- Why studying more or harder wonât work without the right strategies in place
- How motivation is the output of skill building, not the input
- Why âlearning stylesâ are a myth, and what matters instead
- The core academic and executive function skills every student needs but schools donât teach
- Practical starting points for task management, time management, note-taking, annotation, studying, and organization
