About this listen

 If your child says Shakespeare is “boring” or “makes no sense,” don’t panic — and don’t rush to complain. In this episode, Chris Battle shares how parents can turn frustration into curiosity. Discover practical ways to help your child connect with challenging texts, work with their teacher, and see that struggling to understand something difficult is part of real learning. Chris also reflects on how his mixed British-Iranian heritage shaped his own respect for literature, and why helping children face difficulty with patience and imagination might be one of the most valuable lessons a parent can give.
