Send us your thoughts about this week's episode!

We continue our conversation about The Learning Pit and focus on learning the difference between Rescuing and Supporting kids as they learn. The urge to rescue kids in challenging learning situations is powerful—especially when tears rise, the clock is ticking, and we know the shortcut. But quick rescues come with a hidden cost: they replace real learning with dependence. This conversation gets practical about how to step back without stepping away, so children build the thinking skills to climb out of the learning pit on their own.

This week, we unpack why rescuing feels so tempting. Then we trade those habits for a supportive mindset. You’ll learn clear language swaps, reflective questions that guide next steps, and ways to name the specific challenge a child’s brain is working through. We emphasize productive failure—letting a wrong attempt land—so reflection has something real to work with. And when emotions spike, we reset with short, timed breaks that preserve calm and attention before returning to the task.

If you’re ready to replace quick fixes with lasting growth, hit play, take the prompts for a spin tonight, and tell us what changes. Subscribe for more practical strategies, share this with a parent or colleague who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway so we can keep building better learners together.
