Crying. Sulking. Even hitting. It's all saying the same thing: there was a problem I didn't know how to solve. Comment CALL if you want help decoding what your kid's behavior is actually telling you.

It can feel like your kid is doing this to get under your skin. They're not. They're struggling to access skills they don't have yet -- and they suffer more from it than you do. Comment CALL if you want help finding where the gap is.

You can't control whether your teacher is boring -- but you sure can control whether you bore your own brain. Study time is the only time you have total control over how you learn. ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ

The actions that make you feel like you're studying actually aren't effective according to brain science. The biggest mistake is doing things that make you feel busy without impacting your learning. ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ

We are not passionate about everything we teach -- and that's okay. Passion is still important. So where can you find it, even on the days it's not naturally in your curriculum? ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ
