Great audiobook

I truly enjoyed this audiobook and learned a lot. I have seen such a huge shift since COVID-19 on how students learn: The pandemic had such a huge impact on student and their mental health, but also how they learn. Online learning was quite restrictive and did not allow students to fully have a 'normal' school experience. This audiobook does a great job at giving recommendation and advice to parents on how to help their kid(s) to overcome learning-loss they might have had during the pandemic. alongside the academic aspect of this audiobook, I loved how the author, mentioned the importance of mental health for students and teenagers. I would highly recommend this audiobook to any parents who had a kid or kids having to do school remotely.

Perfect Post-Pandemic Parenting

As a parent wading through the post-pandemic world, I found this audiobook to be a beacon of light! 🌟 It's not just a book; it's a toolbox for parents struggling to help their teenagers bridge the learning gap caused by the pandemic. The focus on the emotional aspect of learning is a game-changer. 🧠💡

The practical strategies for developing emotional intelligence and regulation in teens are pure gold! I've seen a remarkable change in my teenager's approach to learning since I started applying these tips. 🎓❤️

Self-compassion and self-care, often overlooked, are highlighted brilliantly. I learned that taking care of myself is not selfish; it's essential for my child's well-being. The book's message about reframing anxiety and failure as growth opportunities is empowering. It taught us to view challenges not as obstacles but as stepping stones. 🌈🌱

One of the best parts? The narration! It's engaging, clear, and feels like a conversation with a wise friend. The audio format made it super accessible – I listened while commuting, cooking, and during my morning jogs. 🏃‍♀️🎧
