Rachel Kapp, M.Ed., BCET, and Stephanie Pitts, M.Ed., BCET talk about one of the most common concerns they hear from parents: “My learner doesn’t want extra work.” In this episode, they explore what’s really behind learner resistance and how to tell when a learner is truly ready for support.

They share how resistance is often a form of self-protection, not defiance. Rachel and Steph break down practical ways to build readiness through trust, curiosity, and small wins—so support feels empowered instead of overwhelmed.
