How can I help my child do better in school—without pushing too hard or taking over? In this episode, Dr. Dave Anderson sits down with Dr. Adam Zamora, a clinical neuropsychologist at the Child Mind Institute, to talk about how to build the habits, mindset, and support systems that help kids thrive academically. From kindergarten through college, they cover everything from procrastination and motivation to homework battles, parent-teacher communication, and how to know when it’s time to get extra support.

Key topics include:

  • Building a growth mindset vs. a fixed mindset
  • Effective homework routines (without micromanaging)
  • When to push, when to scaffold, and when to step back
  • How to work with schools and teachers as part of your child’s “village”
  • The value of neuropsych evaluations and what they actually tell us
  • Prepping kids for college success—academically and emotionally
