A few weeks ago, City Smarts co-founder Danielle was the featured guest on NYC Academic Solutions, an education podcast hosted by NYC learning-guru Alex Friedman. Alex brought Danielle on to discuss the role of executive functioning in the digital learning landscape. In a wide ranging and often fascinating conversation, they discuss a range of challenges students face today such as distractibility and the billion dollar attention economy, and share advice for parents overwhelmed by their kids’ smartphone usage.

Danielle also touches upon the City Smarts approach to Holistic Coaching and why our program has empowered students to develop meaningful habits and routines.

We think Alex’s podcast is terrific, and this episode in particular is brimming with practical tools and tips for parents. Listen below.
