S8 E06: Helping Kids Thrive: Academic Coaching, Success, and the Gift of Failure with Dr. P

In this episode, I welcome Dr. P, an educator, tutor, and academic coach who shares her journey from a working-class background to Harvard and beyond. We dive into the power of one-on-one learning, the importance of allowing kids to struggle and grow, and how parents can support their children's academic success without adding pressure. Dr. P shares insights on test prep, college counseling, and how fostering independence can lead to long-term success. We also explore the role of failure in learning, perfectionism, and the need to step back as parents to let our kids develop resilience. If you're navigating your child's educational journey, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
