About this listen

No time to read? Get the main key insights from this summary of Michele Borba’s Thrivers in just a short listen.

A few key insights from Chapter 1:

  • Italian pedagogue Loris Malaguzzi founded the Reggio Emilia approach, which was inspired by the collaborative effort among children who helped rebuild that city after World War II. Malaguzzi developed a primary education curriculum that focuses first on growing children’s talents and unique strengths before teaching them academic subjects.
  • The Reggio Emilia approach encourages children to figure out solutions to any problems they encounter by themselves, with minimal interference from their teachers. This enables children to grow into who they are, not who their parents and teachers want them to become.
  • Wanting children to be good at everything impedes their intellectual growth and introduces stress and anxiety to their lives.
  • Smoothing the road in front of your children and rewarding them for crossing it only creates superficial self-esteem that is bound to crack the moment they face a challenge alone.
