How to Write a Crazy-Good Critical Reflection
06/19/23 • 15 min
Ep. 55
I love task 'reflections', also called ‘critical reflections’.
I know that to many students, a critical reflection can just feel like an added piece of work bolted onto the main assessment and therefore they might be tempted to just dash it off.
But these small but mighty critical reflections are a golden opportunity to boost marks not just in the reflection itself, but also in the major assignment piece that your teen is having to reflect on.
Listen in to hear how.

Staying Focused When Studying
Ep. 54
It's harder than ever to stay focused and on task.
With notifications flashing up on screen, phones pulling us away from the task at hand and a thousand other things at our fingertips that are more exciting than the thing we're supposed to be doing.
If you have a teen who wants to reduce their susceptibility to distractions and stay more focused on each of their study tasks, then this is the episode for you.
Listen in to find out my advice on helping your teen resist the lure of the phone or the temptation to open a new tab on the laptop when they should be studying >>> so they get tasks done faster, to a higher standard and have more time and freedom for other things (that they can fully enjoy, rather than half-enjoy because they're multi-tasking).
