DEEP DIVE: Jenny Anderson and Rebecca Winthrop, "The Disengaged Teen"
Can we get bored teens excited about school—or anything at all? Jenny Anderson and Rebecca Winthrop, authors of the book THE DISENGAGED TEEN, explain how we can encourage our kids' enthusiasm.
Based on a recent listener question about how to start to let go as our kids get older, this "Deep Dive" series highlights some of our past interview episodes on the topic.
Are teenagers destined to be "over" everything? Jenny Anderson and Rebecca Winthrop, authors of THE DISENGAGED TEEN, explain what's behind what they call the "teen disengagement crisis" and how parents can act.
Jenny Anderson is an award-winning journalist, author, and speaker with more than 25 years of experience. Rebecca Winthrop is the director of the Center for Universal Education at Brookings and an adjunct professor at Georgetown University.
Jenny, Rebecca, and Margaret discuss:
- The four different modes of learning that teens tend to engage in
- What academic disengagement in a teen really signals about them
- How parents can help their kids get more excited about learning
