  • How can I stop being my kids' frontal lobe?

    How can I stop being my kids' frontal lobe?
    Jun 12 2024
    In today's episode, we answer a question from a parent who realized they might accidentally be preventing their kid's executive functioning from developing more fully because they were operating as their child's frontal lobe without even realizing it. Our in-house EF expert, Liz Daly, chimes in with some pro tips on how to scaffold toward goal-setting, planning, and execution skills; Becca talks about "moving the magnets" (it'll make sense as both a literal and metaphorical strategy once you listen!), and Grace chimes in with how she has lately been reflecting on how much of her goal-setting and pursuit has been her idea vs things she just unconsciously carried forward from her parents' dreams. If you've ever felt like your middle- or high-school student is just never going to figure out how to plan anything and wondered whether you might accidentally be contributing to that, this one is for you!

  • How can adults support authentic student voice?

    How can adults support authentic student voice?
    Jun 5 2024
    On today's episode, we answer a question submitted by a listener about student voice: what is it really, and how can adults support it? To help us dig into this topic, we invited Connor Flick, current undergrad student and longstanding member of the Kentucky Student Voice Team, to share examples and stories of what tokenized vs authentic student voice look like, what is possible to accomplish with real student voice, and practical steps on how to get there. This episode is a bit longer than most, but it's worth it--Connor saves some of his best tips for the end.

  • Why does multitasking slow down learning?

    Why does multitasking slow down learning?
    May 29 2024
    In today's episode, Liz gives us the skinny on what multitasking is (and isn't--hint, it's not when you're doing dishes and also listening to music) and why it can both feel so tempting and is so destructive to our ability to learn efficiently. Becca, Jess, and Liz all share stories from their own experience plus those of students and parents they know, as well as helpful and simple tips on how to switch to getting more mono-tasking in your life so you can get on to the good stuff faster.
