Dear Valued Listener/Viewer,
In this inspiring conversation, I interview Dr. Jeff Karp, a Harvard Medical School professor and bioengineer, about the challenges faced by neurodivergent children in the education system. We discuss the importance of recognizing different abilities, the role of nature in fostering creativity, and the need for supportive structures in education. Dr. Karp shares his personal experiences overcoming labels and challenges, emphasizing the significance of cultivating confidence in children and the role of parents and teachers in guiding them. The conversation concludes with a call to action for educators and parents to create opportunities for children to explore their interests and develop their unique gifts.
