We are so delighted to get to speak with Ned Johnson, who is the co-author with Dr. William Stixrud of “The Self-Driven Child” and, in his day job, president and self-proclaimed “tutor-geek” of PrepMatters, helping kids battle an alphabet of sinister standardized tests.  Ned helps parents adopt a new way of thinking and employ tools to support their kids autonomy, vital to helping kids lower their stress and develop intrinsic motivation. All things we hold very dear here at No Guilt Mom!
