  • My new favorite podcast

    After my son’s autism and ADHD diagnosis, our psychologist shared a couple of episodes of this podcast with us. It has now become one of my top 3 podcasts. I started tutoring other kids in math when I was 16. I had the firm conviction that all students could learn math but needed it presented in a different way.

They have already helped me so much and I still have many that I haven’t been able to listen to yet, but am looking forward to them. They are easy to listen to and very relatable. Thank you so much for providing such thorough and tho... more

408: Ellen Galinsky, Adolescence & The Breakthrough Years (Author Series)
Q: How does Ellen view the role of technology in adolescence and parenting today?
Technology is a core part of teen life that isn't going away; parents should help teens learn to use it responsibly rather than simply banning it, recognizing it as part of kid culture and focusing on teaching skills to navigate it effectively.

Q: What are the big takeaways Ellen hopes parents walk away with from The Breakthrough Years?
