S E1: Ep 1 - Consult, Don’t Manage: Achieving Academic Success, with Ned Johnson, founder of PrepMatters Feb 24, 2023

Show notes

Being the parent or caregiver of an academically gifted child is both an opportunity and a challenge. It can be incredibly rewarding to witness all they can achieve, and equally difficult to resist becoming overly invested in their success.

For our first Gifted Minds episode, I’m joined by Ned Johnson, author of The Self-Driven Child and founder of PrepMatters, a company that provides tutoring, college planning and test-prep services. He has years of experience working with gifted children and their families, and deep insight into how we can best help gifted kids when it comes to academics. Hit play to hear our conversation about:

His philosophy on how to approach academics with our kids [02:33];
How to keep your gifted child open to communication about academics [04:40];
How to support children with perfectionistic tendencies [09:32];
How to support gifted children who are under-performing, disengaged, or anxious [11:32];
How to inspire younger children’s love of learning and intrinsic motivation [15:22]; and
How to approach academics as kids move into their teen years [18:51].
