And today's guest is Professor Sien bylock, who's the president of Barnard College, a cognitive scientist and author.

Today we're talking about a few really relevant things and great concrete tools to come home with.

In this conversation, we're going over the idea

that we can practice and our kids can get really good at something

and be ready and then choke in the moment of pressure.

And it happens with us too.

And that can be in small ways or in big ways.

And how we can help our kids learn not only about effort, but about making the right effort

and getting it right in terms of how we go about practicing and then coming out of failures or

those moments when we choke and what we can do so that it's not too scary to get

back on the horse and we're also using math because

CN is a math researcher as well to talk about a little bit about homeschooling and helping your kids with math and the best way to go about talking to your kids about math when they have homework that's really difficult so that they can motivate and thrive in a

subject that is fraught. And lastly we're going to talk a little bit about the

self-compassion that you need to thrive under pressure and that's an important thing to remember for all of us in a difficult time.

I'm super excited for this episode and if you love it as much as I do, please
