Joy Berry - The Inventor of Self Help Books for Kids-youtube

from Tell Me Your Story · host Richard Dugan

New findings from USC just detailed a statistical nightmare for parents: Federal data confirms that 71% of schools are currently overwhelmed by a record-breaking spike in "acting out" and student anxiety. The fallout is a disaster for literacy. Students struggling with these emotional hurdles score 11 percentile points lower on tests than their peers. The bottom line: You can’t teach a child to read if they don't know how to handle a tantrum first. Joy Berry is the "Inventor of Self-Help for Kids" who provides the literal manual for this crisis. With 85 million books sold, she replaces "acting out" with self-reliance. Joy can provide expert commentary on: The "Tantrum-to-Textbook" Bridge: Why kids literally cannot learn to read while their brains are in "fight or flight" mode. The 11-Point Crash: Why traditional discipline is failing the 71% and how "Living Skills" (honesty, self-control, and responsibility) are the only way to bridge the academic gap. The Post-Pandemic Panic: How to identify the 3 specific skills kids lost during lockdown—and the step-by-step tools to get them back. Joy is available to show your audience how to move families from "crisis mode" back to learning. About Joy Berry Joy Berry is known as “The Inventor of Self Help Books for Kids,” with more than 200 titles and over 85 million copies sold worldwide.

A former educator with advanced degrees in Education and Human Development, Joy’s approach is built on one principle: teach children how to think so they can function independently.
