Taking Academics From Stress to Success with Anna Laboon

Navigating the world of academics can be so challenging as our kids get older. Today, Anna Laboon of Activ8 Learning Center shares insights on how to navigate academic challenges with our kids. Anna emphasizes the importance of understanding the root causes of our kids’ academic issues. For many kids, poor executive functioning and a fear of failure are what is holding them back; not simply being lazy or not liking school.
