But a shocking majority of teens are disengaged from school, simultaneously bored and overwhelmed. This is feeding an alarming teen mental health crisis. As kids get older and more independent, parents often feel powerless to help. But fear not, there are evidence-backed strategies to guide them from disengagement to drive, in and out of school. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For the past five years, award-winning journalist Jenny Anderson and the Brookings Institution's global education expert Rebecca Winthrop have been investigating why so many children lose their love of learning in adolescence. Now, weaving extensive original research with real-world stories of kids who transformed their relationships with learning, they identify four modes of learning that students use to navigate through the shifting academic demands and social dynamics of middle and high school, shaping the internal narratives about their skills, potential, and identity: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e - \u003cb\u003eResister. \u003c\/b\u003eWhen kids resist, they struggle silently with profound feelings of inadequacy or invisibility, which they communicate by ignoring homework, playing sick, skipping class, or acting out. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e - \u003cb\u003ePassenger.\u003c\/b\u003e When kids coast along, consistently doing the bare minimum and complaining that classes are pointless. They need help connecting school to their skills, interests, or learning needs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e - \u003cb\u003eAchiever. \u003c\/b\u003eWhen kids show up, do the work, and get consistently high grades, their self-worth can become tied to high performance. Their disengagement is invisible, fueling a fear of failure and putting them at risk for mental health challenges. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e - \u003cb\u003eExplorer.\u003c\/b\u003e When kids are driven by internal curiosity rather than just external expectations, they investigate the questions they care about and persist to achieve their goals. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Understanding your child's learning modes is vital for nurturing their ability to become Explorers. Anderson and Winthrop outline simple yet counterintuitive parenting strategies for connecting with your child, tailoring your listening and communication styles to their needs, igniting their curiosity, and building self-awareness and emotional regulation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJenny Anderson\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning journalist who spent over a decade at \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e before pioneering coverage on the science of learning at \u003ci\u003eQuartz\u003c\/i\u003e.
