'Our education systems are short-changing far too many teenagers. This book is brimming with insights on how to change that. Its an engaging, evidence-based, and practical read about how to develop a generation of lifelong learners.' Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential and Think Again, and host of the podcast Re:Thinking

A powerful new approach to help your teen move from disengagement to drive.

Adolescents are hardwired to explore and grow, and learning is mainly how they do this. But a shocking majority of teens are disengaged from school, simultaneously bored and overwhelmed. As parents, we can feel powerless and dont know how to help until now.

Based on five years of research into why children lose their love of learning, award-winning journalist Jenny Anderson and the Brookings Institutions global education expert Rebecca Winthrop have created a transformative model that every parent, carer and educator needs to know about.

Identifying four modes of learning that every student goes through resister, passenger, achiever and explorer youll find out why understanding what these are is crucial to your childs development and how you can coach them to become a curious, resilient and motivated learner.

With stories from children who have used the tools in this book to become life-long learners, and with clear strategies on how to become your childs best cheerleader, this book is essential reading for everyone who wants to help young people thrive.
