So um I talk a lot with my students about metacognition.
Metacognition to me really refers to self awareness, um, understanding who you are as a learner, as a feeler, as an emotional being, um, as a thinker.
How do you think?
How do you feel?
Um, we often do things blindly, but the more metacognitive awareness we have, the more consciousness we have, the more mindfulness we have, the more aware of how we tick we are, the better choices we can make.
So metacognition is the next one, that's number five.
Number six has to do with the motivation lie, you know, that that we say, Oh, my kid's not motivated.
They procrastinate, they're not disciplined, they don't care, they don't try hard enough, all of these things that are based on a misunderstanding of executive function.
Our kids are not broken, your child is not broken, your student is not broken, there is nothing wrong with them.
There's more wrong with the approaches that we take to help them and to get them for example, if they're not motivated to do homework, but they are motivated to do video games, then you have to ask yourself, how can we make the homework more quote motivating?
How can we make it more interesting?
How can we make it more meaningful?
How can we make it more real?
How can we make it more relevant?
How can we make it more powerful?
So it's
not the student that there's something wrong with them, but they're having trouble executing on something that uh it also has to do with they might not be executing because they really don't have the skills to do what we're asking them to do.
And that leads on to the next one, which is number seven, which is that they can't because they can't, not because they won't.
This isn't a hundred percent true, especially if
Kids get more into middle school and high school and they can get jaded and really feeling bad about things.
