💡 Did you know your child’s mindset before learning can affect how well they absorb information?
Research in educational psychology shows that positive emotions “prime” the brain for better focus, memory, and problem-solving.
In fact, a 2020 study found that children who experienced a short burst of laughter, movement, or connection before a learning task performed significantly better than those who jumped straight into work.
These small, intentional moments — what we call positive primers — help your child feel safe, engaged, and ready to learn.
🌈 Try this: Before homework time, spend 2 minutes doing something joyful — a dance, a silly joke, or naming one thing your child’s proud of from their day.
The difference? You’ll see it in their focus and their smile.
