Parenting With Psychology

✨  Want to become a confident parent in 12 weeks or less? Start here: https://drlindsayemmerson.com/workshop In this episode, I'll share the five psychology-backed steps I take every fall as a psychologist and mom of four to set my kids up for school success using my 5 C's parenting framework. You may be surprised to learn that your back-to-school approach directly impacts your child's long-term success, and small changes now can have a huge impact on their future. I'll reveal findings from a groundbreaking 50-year study showing that students who show up ready for school with responsibility and genuine interest in learning are significantly more likely to achieve higher education levels 11 years later and earn higher incomes 50 years later. This isn't about being the smartest kid in class - it's about developing the right mindset and behaviors from day one, and I'll show you exactly how to build these specific traits while explaining why most back-to-school preparations miss the mark.
