Podcasts about Braaten

What happens when bright, capable students seem completely unmotivated about their future? Dr. Ellen Braaten, author of Bright Kids Who Couldn't Care Less  joins us to unpack this phenomenon that can leave you feeling frustrated and worried. We talked about motivation - how it's not just about "trying harder" but rather a delicate interplay between initiation (the spark), persistence (the ability to continue), and intensity (the fuel that sustains effort).Dr. Braaten shared a framework for understanding what truly motivates young adults by examining the intersection of their aptitudes (natural abilities), pleasures (what they enjoy), and practice (what they willingly spend time doing).  Whether your student is currently struggling with motivation or you're planning ahead for their transition to college, this conversation offers invaluable insights for supporting their authentic development.Thank you for listening!

THE RUSSELL AUCTION • March 20-22, 2025 • Featuring over 125 historic pieces, including more than 20 iconic works by Charles M. Russell. Visit cmrussell.org to learn more.I had Duane Braaten on today and he's a very interesting guy. It just goes to show that when you grow up in an art community like Great Falls, MT  it can affect you and it certainly affected Duane. I think in a way it may have affected him more than he even realizes.You see, Duane goes to pharmacy school, but he discovers his love for the creative world, art, and art museums. What happens is he works as a security guard at the school art gallery. This alters his trajectory a great deal, and he winds up at the Charlie Russell Museum as a preparator, eventually becoming the  Director of Art and Philanthropy and he's been there since 1996.The big event we talk about in this podcast is the auction that the C.M. Russell Museum puts on annually called "The Russell." It's the main fundraiser for the C.M. Russell Museum, which is typically the third week in March.If you haven't gone to that event, believe me when I say that it's a fantastic experience. It's really worth doing. You have all of this interesting art that you can purchase and see, both contemporary and historic. I think 25 Charles Russell works will be for sale, that again, all help the museum, which is an important institution.So very interesting to talk to Duane about his life, about his career at the C.M. Russell Museum, and the annual auction that is happening March 20, 21, and 22 happening in Great Falls, Montana and online at the link below:https://www.liveauctioneers.com/auctioneer/1115/the-russell-a-western-art-experience/

Rachel Kapp, M.Ed., BCET, and Stephanie Pitts, M.Ed., BCET re-share a favorite episode of theirs this week: a conversation with Dr. Ellen Braaten! Dr. Braaten discusses how time perception is an incredibly important part of understanding processing speed and ADHD, and she shares some tips and hints to help respond to time perception issues. She explains meta-time blindness and has a discussion about when it is important to keep track of time and when it should be let go. She also chats with Rachel & Steph about how overscheduling actually feels.

Children develop at different paces. Some kids appear to be naturally fast. Others appear to move slower. The pace at which a child completes various tasks and projects is known as processing speed. We typically notice when children have slower processing speeds, and this can be challenging for the child and the adults around them. But processing speed is not indicative of intelligence or I.Q. And with support, children with slower processing speeds can thrive. It is therefore imperative that parents, grandparents, educators, and caregivers gain strategies for supporting all children, regardless of how they learn.On this episodes of Faith Talks we talk with with Dr. Ellen Braaten. Braaten co-authored the book Bright Kids Who Can't Keep Up. She'll share tips for seeing and honoring all children, while equipping us to better support the young people in our lives.Faith Talks is produced by United Women in Faith and hosted by Jennifer R. Farmer.

Do you ever find yourself worried that your child doesn't seem motivated to excel or succeed at the things they do in life? Perhaps it's because they haven't found their thing. Or maybe it has to do with the way you're talking to them about their interests.   It's amazing the changes our children experience as they learn about themselves and grow into the adults that they'll become. But sometimes sparking their inner drive seems like a herculean task. Here to share her tips and tricks is Ellen Braaten, Ph.D. Ellen is a prominent psychologist and author at Massachusetts General Hospital since 1998. Dr. Braaten holds several prestigious positions, including executive director of the Learning and Emotional Assessment Program and the Kessler Family Chair in pediatric neuropsychological assessment, and an associate professorship at Harvard Medical School.

Who better to unpack the role of meaningful dialogue in understanding the complexities of faith than Pastor Jason Braaten? As we sit down with Jason, he shares his passionate journey into ministry and his firm belief that engaging in deep, thoughtful conversations can not only bring clarity to our faith but also help to apply the Word of Truth effectively. We don't debate or argue in this conversation, but we make a conscious effort to understand each other's perspectives and connect on a deeper level.We then venture into the intricate world of Anti-Catechism, examining the role of the Holy Spirit and the significance of God's commandments in understanding good and evil. We discuss how Satan's primary attack is on the first article of the Creed, how it manifests in our world, and how to uncover the truth behind the Anti-Catechism. Jason enlightens us that unity, love, and meaningful conversations within the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod are the keys to effective witnessing.Finally, we tackle the pressing topic of evangelism in a society that grows increasingly hostile towards Christianity. We dive into the need for bi-vocational and co-vocational leaders in the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod and the tension between the congregational and episcopal models.

Why do some bright kids develop an “I don't care” attitude?  What are the underlying causes? What approaches can help rekindle their motivation? On this episode of Mind Dive Podcast, child psychologist, Harvard professor and author Ellen Braaten, Ph.D. has studied this issue in-depth and worked through this with children and their parents in her therapy practice. In her new book, “Bright Kids Who Couldn't Care Less,” she dives into this complex issue and provides a guide for parents on how to better understand and help their apathetic child. Dr. Braaten says that while children with processing challenges, such as ADHD or autism, can develop indifference because their learning challenges can lead them to feel overwhelmed, there are also children without any learning issues who develop profound apathy toward school, extracurricular activities and life in general. She adds that clinicians and parents can't look at one factor when trying to understand a child who lacks motivation because often there are social, biological and psychological factors involved. For example, Dr. Bratten says that some kids are not very motivated because their basic needs aren't being met. Or perhaps they don't have that peer group of friends that allows them to find their bliss, because their needs for friendship aren't met. They may have found they are not able to trust others. There's also the pressure to get good grades and to participate in extracurricular activities to get into a good college that can affect motivation.  When kids get anxious and depressed, Dr. Braaten says, they can become overwhelmed and turn to distractions like video games. Sometimes it's pressure from parents to achieve that can demotivate children. She says that in some cases a parent's own desires, the things that gave them pleasure that they put aside, are then put onto their kids with the expectation that they will “fill in the gap” by doing or achieving what the parent didn't.  Dr. Bratten cautions parents to think about themselves when they think about our child's motivation. Are they being a good role model? “Well, one of the simplest things I say to parents, maybe not directly because it can be hard to hear, but to love the child they have, not the child they wish they had,” said Dr. Braaten.  In showing love and support for an unmotivated child, Dr. Braaten says external rewards can work in some cases, and in others, are not the answer. There is research showing that if a child enjoys an activity, such as reading, adding external rewards to increase reading, such as badges or stickers or awards, can have the opposite effect and serve as a demotivator. Dr. Braaten advises that parents need to find out what their child likes to do and what they are good at doing. What are their personal strengths? What gives them pleasure? Where do they spend their time? In her book she outlines how parents can work through this process to help their child find his or heFollow The Menninger Clinic on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to stay up to date on new Mind Dive episodes.
