LDE 89: Change Your Words, Change Your Brain; 5 Ways to Upgrade your Self-Talk - Jill Stowell

Your child’s inner voice can make school feel easier or impossible, and most kids never learn how to use it in a way that actually supports learning and confidence.

In this episode of the LD Expert Podcast, Jill Stowell breaks down five simple and science based self talk tools that can strengthen executive function, improve emotional regulation, and help kids shift from “I can’t” to “I’m capable.”

You will learn how language shapes the brain, why certain phrases shut kids down, and how small changes in the way children speak to themselves can create big changes in motivation, follow through, and resilience.

These strategies are powerful for kids with dyslexia, ADHD, auditory processing challenges, and executive function weaknesses, and they are just as effective for teens and adults who have spent years feeling defeated by school or daily tasks.

Parents who have tried everything will finally understand why motivation and confidence seem fragile, why their bright child struggles more than expected, and what tools actually build lasting change instead of temporary coping.

If you want your child to feel capable, calm, and confident, this episode gives you practical, brain based tools you can start using today.

When your child is still struggling despite endless effort, tutoring, accommodations, or reminders, real answers are available. At Stowell Learning Center we strengthen the weak underlying learning and executive function skills that keep capable kids stuck.
