Our educational system fails to support many teenagers. This book is filled with insights on how to change that. It is an engaging, evidence-based, and practical read on how to develop a generation of lifelong learners.

A powerful new approach to help your teen move from disengagement to desire. Teenagers are programmed to explore and grow, and learning is primarily how they do this. However, a shocking majority of teens are disconnected from school, feeling both bored and overwhelmed at the same time. As parents, we may feel powerless and not know how to help – until now.

Based on five years of research on why children lose their love for learning, award-winning journalist Jenny Anderson and global education expert from the Brookings Institution, Rebecca Winthrop, have created a transformative model that every parent, caregiver, and educator should know.

Identifying four learning modes that every student goes through – resistor, passenger, achiever, and explorer – you will discover why understanding these is critical to your child's development and how you can guide them to become curious, resilient, and motivated learners.

With stories from children who used the tools in this book to become lifelong learners, and with clear strategies on how to be your child's best supporter, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to help young people thrive.
