Young people have an\u00a0innate need to be respected and admired\u2014but few adults truly understand how to harness it. Yeager, an expert on the psychology of grit and persistence, shares why conventional methods of communicating with teens and young adults often fall flat and how adopting a \u201cmentor mindset\u201d can transform how we support them. Parents will learn practical, easy-to-implement strategies\u2014such as being transparent about expectations and holding high standards\u2014that help young people feel inspired, empowered, and capable of doing their best work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>We\u2019re excited to offer two shared viewing opportunities:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Wednesday, February 18 at 10:00 am<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (following the SPO meeting)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Wednesday, February 18 at 3:45 pm <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(students can head to Fun Zone!)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21446 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thesummitprep.org\/k-explorers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-10-at-11.42.02\u202fAM-1024x682.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"365\" height=\"243\" \/><\/span>About the presenter:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> David Yeager, PhD, is a professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and co-founder of the Texas Behavioral Science and Policy Institute.
