You built your career by learning to move well inside a system: the right credentials, the right signals, the right moments. Now you're applying that same logic to your child's education, and it made sense when you walked that path. This episode is about the one capacity that doesn't appear on any report card, but outperforms every credential when the landscape shifts: the ability to enter unfamiliar territory and figure it out.

This episode draws in part on research in:

  • Productive failure and what struggle builds: Kapur, M. (2016)
  • Desirable difficulties and durable learning: Bjork, R.A. & Bjork, E.L. (2011)
  • Self-efficacy built through mastery experience rather than external scaffolding: Bandura, A. (1997)
  • Education, credentials, and the evolving labor market: Goldin, C. & Katz, L.F. (2008)
  • Over-parenting and its effects on readiness for independent challenge: Bradley-Geist, J.C. & Olson-Buchanan, J.B. (2014)
  • Technology, automation, and the future of human work: Brynjolfsson, E. & McAfee, A. (2014)
