The Parent Compass Book Teaches Students to Focus on Life with Intention (with guests Cindy Muchnick & Jenn Curtis)

Jenn Curtis and Cindy Muchnick felt like they were “punched in the gut” when they first heard about the 2019 college admissions cheating scandal.

“We want to encourage parents to accept and love the child they have, not the child they want to inauthentically create,” explained Curtis.

They believe that if you teach students to live life with their own intentions, you can help them better achieve success.

“I think it’s the pushing kids that comes from parents that really creates this dissonance and this noise that is so hard for students to get passed because they’re so fragile and worried about pleasing their parents,” Muchnick explained.

Instead, they urge parents to focus on building the “whole child” by teaching resilience, grit, and how to bounce back from mistakes.

They also believe in the importance of praising students along their journey, rather than only for the end result. Watch the video version on this podcast here.
