'My student just isn't motivated.'
What if it's not a motivation issue, but a safety issue?
Before a child can focus or retain new information, their brain has to feel safe.
When something feels threatening (even emotionally), the amygdala activates. The brain shifts into protection mode. Learning becomes secondary to survival.
Momentous Institute helps educators recognize this shift and respond with connection first. Because emotional safety isn't separate from academic success. It's the foundation.
