87: Why Smart Kids Struggle in School
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Many kids who are bright, curious, and capable still struggle in school - and it can be confusing for the adults supporting them.
In this episode, we explore why intelligence doesn't always translate into success in the classroom, and how factors like executive functioning, processing differences, and anxiety can impact a child's ability to feel successful at school.
