Why more families than ever will leave school in 2026

How to raise a self-driven, motivated child (without being their TEACHER)

Why "teaching" your child backfires (and what to do instead)
Over a century ago, we aligned “good teaching” with “good people management.” But the roots of that approach - and why we’ve held onto it - are shocking. This episode traces the history of it all, why it’s still killing motivation in our children, and what we can do instead.
The danger of an easy life (and what our kids really need to grow)
Life’s never been easier for our kids, but that comfort has come at a cost. The research is clear: this shift has weakened an entire generation across every measure that matters. This episode shows just how bad things have become, and what we need to do to turn it around.
Why your child struggles to stick with things (and how to change that for GOOD)
