Family Engagement in Learning 

Hello Trinity Families,

I recently listened to a podcast that I found through the Happy Families website focused on being a life long learner. The episode discussed the fact that if we want young people to be successful in their learning we must model to them that learning is a life long commitment. 

The episode also covered some interesting points around:

• Curiosity
• Flaws of our educational system
• Lifelong learning
• Exams and stress
• Living up to expectations
• Anxiety and perfectionism in children
• Resilience
• External vs internal worth
• "Success is..." 

Have a listen and share with me anything you found interesting, affirming or challenging in the episode. 

Have a great week!
