PTP:112."Dying to Win" with author Teri Capshaw
Learn Grow Go is the theme of author Teri Capshaw's work who is Dr. Brad Miller's guest on Episode 112 of the Pathway to Promise Podcast
Teri has the following to share on her websitetericapshaw.com
I write about the things that used to keep me up at night.
My first book takes on a topic that’s affected most of us to some extent and poses an even greater risk to the next generation: school stress.
Dying to Win was inspired by my family’s move to Asia where I expected to find the secrets to great teaching. Instead, I discovered the horrifying truth about our competitive global education system.
Then I turned back home, to my own unconventional upbringing, to uncover seven principles we can use to inspire a love of learning for the children in our lives.
In an age when we can compare our lives with those all over the world, it’s difficult to keep what matters most in perspective.
I’m on a mission to help families experience the joy of learning together.
I also provide encouragement to homeschool leaders, educational choice advocates, teachers, and other educators passionate about impacting students and families in a stressful world.
Teri Capshaw is a former journalist and homeschooling mother on a mission to help families overcome limitations imposed by an overstressed world.
She knows what it’s like to be held back by fear—and the incredible opportunities available to families courageous enough to live life differently.
Teri authored Dying to Win: How to Inspire and Ignite Your Child’s Love of Learning in an Overstressed World, and helps families craft their ideal lifestyle at HomesteadLarder.com.
Dying to Win: How to Inspire and Ignite Your Child’s Love of Learning in an Overstressed World provides parents with a “big picture” view of international education issues—and simple, practical, strategies to implement at home.
Grasping for academic success takes a toll on families around the globe—with parents in China spending up to 30% of their household income on tutoring and students spending up to 17 hours per day studying.
Moving to Asia opened my eyes to the dangers of emulating a system so intense it pushes some students to the brink of suicide.
When we give our children freedom in how they learn, we fuel them with a passion for life and equip them for academic success.
