The Effort Myth: How to give your child the three gifts of motivation.

Wednesday, February 26, 2025 28 Sh'vat 5785

6:15 PM - 8:30 PMCo-working space

Struggling learners often feel misunderstood and defeated. They may withdraw, act out, or lose motivation altogether. For parents, the instinct to encourage harder work can inadvertently worsen the problem.

Sponsored by the TST Center for Jewish Positive Psychology, join Sherri Fisher, Learning Specialist and Executive Function Coach, for a transformative evening where you’ll learn to rewrite the narrative of struggle into a story of growth and success for your child. Sherri’s empowering insights will help you give your child the Three Gifts of Motivation: Competence for building practical skills to fill critical learning gaps; Choices to enable your child to make better habits and meaningful progress, and Self-direction so they can envision a future beyond school with confidence and purpose.

Sherri is a seasoned learning specialist and executive function coach. She’s spent decades helping students and parents uncover hidden potential. Drawing on her book The Effort Myth, Sherri will guide you through actionable strategies to transform the way you approach your child’s learning challenges, showing you how to pivot from frustration to progress, turn resistance into resilience and foster a partnership that empowers your child to thrive.

  • Support your student’s growth by knowing when to step in and when to let them navigate challenges independently.
  • Foster resilience and independence by developing your child’s unique strengths.
  • Go beyond grades to help your child see the bigger picture of success in a complex, dynamic world.

Don’t miss this opportunity to move beyond the “try harder” narrative. Reserve your spot today and take the first step toward creating a future filled with resilience, confidence, and achievement for your child.

Please join us at 6:15pm for pizza. The program will officially begin at 6:30pm.
