About this listen

Our children and teenagers are often at least as busy, stressed and sleep-deprived as adults. Amidst an unprecedented youth mental health crisis, our education systems remain divorced from everything science knows about learning and wellbeing. If a book ever was a way out, “The Self-Driven Child” is certainly this, and the conversation with one of its authors Dr. William Stixrud is here to fill us with hope.
What makes children invulnerable to anxiety and depression? How to build a brain that is capable of deep focus and motivation as well as being happy? What are the roots of autonomy and true resilience? How can we, worried parents, stay centred and give our kids the gift of our non-anxious presence? We couldn't be happier to be able to share this interview with you.
