A little about yourself...
I studied the strengths and gifts in teens who are not top students and found that these kids are perfectly-suited for the future economy and leadership -- if we help them develop their gifts. I also discovered 3 myths of education that hurt all students.

As a result, I give talks and workshops to parents and business leaders about how we can bring out the best in all students and develop our future skilled workforce.
What kinds of things do you typically Twitter about?
teen learning, motivation, resilience, homework, high school, college, bringing out the best in your child
What are your areas of interest?
special needs children, the arts

Watch a 3-minute video in which I'm asked about motivation and myths I uncovered about education. On my website: www.PositiveLeaders.com/videos_index.html

Watch a 2-minute video clip in which I'm asked about high school grades and college. On youtube:

Perhaps they think that starting young will help these children to better deal with unhealthy stress they may encounter in high school. Read more about the Globe article on Pressurized Kindergarten and why I believe it is not a good idea to bring the unhealthy stress of high school to our 5-year-olds.... http://positiveleaders.blogspot.com/2009/08/starting-our-kids-on-right-pat… Continue
