Education is so important to us, from literacy and fostering a love of books to building math skills that support financial literacy down the road. That’s why we’re thrilled to bring you this conversation about education with Tracey Hope Haynes, an elementary school teacher (and Helen’s sister!), and Wanda Harding (Helen’s classmate at Hampton University), a NASA engineer turned educator and founder of Launching Leaders. In this episode, we discuss how to support your child’s learning at every stage of life, building your child’s confidence through affirmations and skill-building, and navigating technology use in the home and in the classroom.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
Splitting our students’ attention spans between screens and learning is a challenge. There are a lot of digital distractions that students are facing, and it’s important to build logic and learning skills both with and without technology present.
Help your students reframe making mistakes. Tracey and her students call them a “mistake masterpiece.” Of course we correct the mistake, but we reframe it in a fun way to promote confidence in the student’s ability to fix a mistake, rather than whether or not they made one.
Stay engaged with your kids. Have meaningful conversations with them (yes, even when they’re little!), read to them and with them, build things together, and encourage imaginative play. There are so many creative ways to make learning a fun part of your daily routine.
