What if your child’s future success—especially with college admissions—hinges on how curious they become before they even get there?
In this episode, I break down the Curiosity Window, the critical developmental phase between ages 10 and 13, when your child’s brain is primed for identity formation, exploration, and deep learning. If curiosity is nurtured now, it becomes a foundation for confidence, motivation, and impact later. If ignored, that spark often fades—leading to disengaged, uncertain teens.
You'll also hear why I created Curiosity Lab, a live weekly program designed specifically for 10–13 year-olds to build curiosity, critical thinking, and communication skills through hands-on learning.
🔍 What You’ll Learn:
- Why ages 10–13 are a critical phase for curiosity and identity
- How this period affects motivation, confidence, and future college prep
- What parents can do now to set their kids up for long-term success
