Want to raise confident, capable kids?
Great teachers know that setting high expectations leads to greater student achievement—and the same is true for parenting! In this episode, I sit down with Emily Gromoll, Chief Learning Officer of R.E.A.L. Discussion and mom of three young boys (ages 9, 6, and 4), to explore the research behind high expectations.
We’ll break down:
✔️ How to set high (but realistic) expectations for your child
✔️ The balance between motivation and perfectionism
✔️ Practical ways to scaffold your child’s experiences for success
Whether you’re navigating school challenges, building independence at home, or just wondering how to encourage your child without pressure, this conversation is packed with actionable insights for parents of all ages. Plus, teachers will love the references to Jeff Cohen, David Yeager, Carol Dweck, and John Hattie!
