About this listen
In this episode of Next Step IN, Joe Glover sits down with Dr. Alan Zollman and Dr. Lisa Hoffman to discuss their book STEM Smart Parenting. Together, they explore how parents can nurture innovative thinkers by encouraging critical thinking, problem-solving, and resilience through everyday parenting strategies. The conversation highlights the importance of struggle as a productive part of learning, the role of mistakes as opportunities rather than failures, and how different parenting styles—like helicopter or lawn mower parenting—can impact a child’s ability to grow independently. They also examine the challenges of technology and screen time, emphasizing the value of hands-on experiences and open communication between parents and children. With practical insights and real-world examples, this episode offers a guide for parents who want to empower their children with the skills and confidence needed for lifelong success.
