About this listen
Many of our public school students are disaffected and struggling with their poor behaviors and poor school performance. Test scores are being reported down with kids’ behaviors being out of control. Our schools are being charged increasingly with teaching more nontraditional skills such as skills that involve social and emotional learning to students less prepared than ever before.
How to Become More Successful with Difficult Students provides educational staff with simple, successful techniques that will assist them to:
- Improve their relationships with their students
- Increase social and emotional learning through insightful interactions with their students
- Put some of the fun back into education
- Get kids to enjoy school again
- Help kids to learn perform better
If you are one of those educators who is giving it your all to help every one of our youth be better students and better people, then How to Become More Successful with Difficult Students is a necessity for your everyday use.

When Jon Acuff's book Soundtracks came out, one reaction surprised him. Parents across the country all said the same thing: "Do you have a version for teenagers? If I knew how to change my mindset when I was that age, my entire life would have been different." Why did they say that? Because truth grows like compound interest. Saving money when you're young has a bigger impact than it does when you save in your 40s. A single new soundtrack—Acuff's phrase for a repetitive thought—believed when you're 14 or 18 can change your whole life in the same way.

Peel back the cheerful façade that parents present, and you'll find that many are worried about their teens. Mood swings, impulsiveness, poor judgment, and other problems peak in these years. Add stressors such as screen addiction, cyberbullying, increasing academic demands, and time-consuming athletic commitments...and it's no surprise that today's teenagers rank as the most anxious in 50 years.

Story
What does it mean to be an adult? In the 20th century, psychologists came up with five markers of adulthood: finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry, and have children. Since then, every generation has been held to those same markers. Yet so much has changed about the world and living in it since that sequence was formulated. All of those markers are choices, and they’re all valid, but any one person’s choices along those lines do not make them more or less an adult.

Story
Superheroes don't start from glorious beginnings. Their origins are almost always marked by traumatic events that leave them helpless and scared. Batman witnessed his parents' murder. Superman was sent away from his dying planet with no one to guide him as he grew up. Orphaned Catwoman was forced to steal food to survive on the streets of Gotham. What makes these superheroes super is their determination to not be defined by helplessness. They embrace their origins, their flaws, and their mistakes and strive every day to become the best versions of themselves.
