(Ep. 84) Ned Johnson: Struggle towards success

I Wish They Knew

IN EPISODE 84: Whether it's how kids fare at school or the way adults perform at work, we've developed a disabling attitude towards achievement. Too much grooming, not enough patience and an unhealthy outlook on the value of struggling have gotten in the way of progress. It turns out that if you want to build emotionally strong, determined and ambitious adults, the best thing to do is get out of the way. This episode is a must-listen for parents, coaches and anyone who wants to raise a successful adult  - or help employees become their most successful selves. ABOUT NED JOHNSON: Ned Johnson is an author, speaker, and the founder of PrepMatters, an educational company providing academic tutoring, educational planning and standardized test prep. A professional “tutor-geek” since 1993, Ned has spent more than 40,000 one-on-one hours helping students conquer an alphabet of standardized tests and honing his insights on communicating with students and parents. A battle-tested veteran in the fields of test preparation, anxiety management, and student performance, Ned coaches kids how to manage their stress while simultaneously motivating and empowering them to reach their full potential.

How to Talk With Kids To Build Motivation, Stress Tolerance, and Happiness with Ned Johnson • 207

Mind Love • Modern Mindfulness to Think, Feel and Live Well

We will learn:  Why autonomy is critical for kids and how to help them develop it.  A 4-step process for dealing with kids emotions in a productive way.  How to help kids develop motivation beyond reward-based activities.  November is parents month! Whether you have your own kids or not, this month will help you understand the children in your life as well as learn to deal with your own inner child better! Communication can be difficult with children. When they’re young, they might not comprehend enough language to grasp what you mean. And even when they do have the words, they might not be emotionally ready for the message. Children’s brains work differently, and those brains are not fully developed until they are in their 30s. So communicating with them means meeting them where they are. We can also help them to develop their logic centers by helping them engage that part of the brain. So that’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Ned Johnson. He is the founder of PrepMatters and the coauthor of "The Self-Driven Child" and a new book "What Do You Say: How to Talk With Kids To Build Motivation, Stress Tolerance, and a Happy Home." Links from the episode: Show Notes: https://mindlove.com/207 Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes from your highest self.  Get Mind Love Premium for exclusive ad-free episodes and monthly meditations.  Support Mind Love Sponsors Learn more about your ad choices.
