In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy delves into the often-overlooked aspects of education in the 21st century, particularly the emphasis on assessing children's intelligence and learning. Drawing from insights by Isabel Howell, executive director of the Stanford Accelerator for Learning, Dr. Kathy highlights a critical disconnect between standardized assessments and the true foundations of healthy development—relationships. As she explores what children are truly tested on at home and in school, listeners are encouraged to reflect on the values instilled in their children and consider how fostering deeper relationships can lead to more meaningful growth. This episode aims to inspire courage, confidence, and a shift in focus from mere academic measures to nurturing the essential connections that matter most.
