Switched-On Brains: Helping Children Find Their Own Drive

In this episode, Lauren Edmunds, founder of a school for children with learning delays, shares her thoughts on what it really means for a child to have a “switched-on” brain. Through the story of a 10-year-old non-verbal boy on the autism spectrum, she shows how powerful things can happen when children feel safe, supported, and have their own reasons to grow. Whether your child is in mainstream education or a more specialised setting, this talk invites parents and educators to reflect on how we can help children build motivation from the inside out.
