Summary
We know as adults that if things are too easy for us, we rarely get motivated and if our brains don’t have to do much work, then we don’t learn or remember anything.
Episode Description
By getting your child to make learning harder for themselves, they are creating exactly the right conditions in which to remember something. We call this a ‘desirable difficulty’.
