Summary
Lauren Edmunds, who runs a school for children with learning delays, looks at how the way we moan or complain about schoolwork actually becomes the voice in our children's heads. She argues that if we treat homework as a chore or a waste of time, our kids will too, which eventually makes the work even harder for them. This episode is about shifting that mindset by role-modelling effort and using language that connects practice to progress. Lauren shares practical ways to build "grit" and resilience, especially for students who find the work tough and don't always see immediate results. The goal isn't just to get through primary school, but to help children embrace challenges so they’re ready for the real world. Omatas Learning Centre
