We all want the best for our kids; that goes without saying. But, sometimes, our best intentions actually get in the way of our kids making the mistakes they need to make to grow and develop into educated, high-functioning adults.\xa0

In today\u2019s episode, we\u2019re talking with\xa0Teru\xa0Clavel, the author of the\xa0brand new\xa0book \u201cWorld Class.\u201d In her book,\xa0Teru\xa0compares the educational system we have in the United States with the system she encountered as her family moved from country to country in Asia.\xa0\xa0

Most notably, she saw that the\xa0growth mindset\xa0was extremely prevalent in Asia. Effort and practice were\xa0valued above simple achievement. The concept of failure was seemingly nonexistent. Rather, the Asian approach to education focused on\xa0viewing failure as an opportunity to learn more. And the intentional\xa0role that parents, teachers, and broader society plays in children\u2019s education is very different than what we know in the United States.\xa0\xa0

I hope you\u2019ll tune into this episode to gain a broader view of what education means throughout the world and how we might approach it from less of a fixed mindset and more of a mindset of continuous growth and progress.\xa0
