Ned Johnson - Raising Motivated & Self-Driven Kids

This week, we're joined by parenting expert, author, and podcast host Ned Johnson for an honest conversation about raising resilient, motivated, and emotionally healthy kids in today's world. As president and "tutor-geek" of PrepMatters, Ned has spent more than 50,000 hours working one-on-one with teens, helping them better understand themselves as learners, build motivation, and manage anxiety in healthy ways. He is the co-author of three books with Dr. William Stixrud, including the national bestseller The Self-Driven Child, which has sold more than a million copies and been published in 19 languages. He also hosts The Self-Driven Child Podcast. In this episode, we talk about parenting through stress and anxiety, supporting kids without trying to control them, and helping children become more confident, independent, and self-driven while also giving ourselves more grace as parents.  TIkTok: @theothernedjohnson IG: @theothernedjohnson twitter: @nedjohnson   Website: www.selfdrivenchild.com Follow us on: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn & YouTube
