Welcome back to Chalkboard to Kitchen Table with Trish and Eileen! 

In this episode, we tackle the challenge of learned helplessness and how to help kids break free from it. When children believe they can’t succeed, they stop trying. But as parents and educators, we have the power to shift their mindset from “I can’t” to “I can figure this out.”

We’ll explore the signs of learned helplessness, why it happens, and the role we may unknowingly play in reinforcing it. More importantly, we’ll share practical strategies that empower kids to take ownership of their learning, build resilience, and develop problem-solving skills that will serve them for life.

Join us as we discuss small but powerful shifts you can make at home to help your child believe in themselves, embrace challenges, and grow into confident, capable learners. Because when we break the cycle, we open the door to a future filled with possibilities!

Welcome to the Table!
