In this episode of Nonlinear Learning, I address a listener's concern about their child's reluctance to learn.   We explores the concept of readiness to learn, learning that behaviors often misinterpreted as defiance may stem from a) communication differences, b) sensory overload, or c) a lack of emotional safety.    Tune in to learn about what a low-demand teaching environment may look like!   For a short time, I am offering a FREE Training on Building Focus regardless of so-called "readiness to learn".   You can register for the Building Focus Training here     Key Ideas:

• Learning readiness can be misunderstood by parents and educators.
• Tantrums may indicate a lack of emotional safety.
• Eye contact is not a necessary indicator of learning.
• Walking away can be a child's way of coping.
