Schools ask a lot from students. Students are told to study, focus, stay organized, manage their time, keep trying, and do their best. Those are all important skills. But many students are expected to do those things before they are ever directly taught how. That is one reason I created the 3S Student Success System....]]></description><link>https://www.studentsuccesscollective.com/post/the-3s-student-success-system</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a383d6d6ff6de15e8aa8078</guid><pubDate>Sun, 21 Jun 2026 19:45:26 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_0d0caa124115495c9a6d338658b149c2~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Kylie Larsen</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stress-Free Summer Learning: What Actually Works]]></title><description><![CDATA[Every summer starts with good intentions. “We’re going to read more.” “We’re going to stay on top of math facts.” “We’re not going to lose momentum this year.” And then life happens. Schedules change. Routines disappear. Kids push back. Parents get busy. And before we know it, August arrives with a little bit of panic and a lot of guilt. If that sounds familiar, you are definitely not alone.

After more than 20 years in education, here’s what I’ve found: What helps students most is not always more content. It’s learning how to approach the test itself.  It’s Not Always About What They Know I’ve worked with so many students who know more than their scores show.

When a task seems too big, it can be hard to figure out the first step. This confusion often leads to avoidance. Instead of tackling the work, the child might shut down or procrastinate. Teaching kids how to break assignments into smaller, manageable parts can reduce stress and make starting easier. For example, instead of asking a child to “write a report,” help them divide the...]]></description><link>https://www.studentsuccesscollective.com/post/understanding-why-smart-kids-struggle-in-school-despite-their-efforts</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69920a8d159d7fac963e4853</guid><pubDate>Sun, 15 Feb 2026 18:05:47 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7adfe3_73fe1d220e184799b3a29baada89b02c~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_768,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Kylie Larsen</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[How Students Build Real Confidence: What Parents Can Do Today]]></title><description><![CDATA[I recently reflected on my conversations with the parents of the students I tutor. A shared theme among them was their wish for their children to become more confident. This led me to reflect on and explore the origins of confidence in students. If you’ve ever watched a child hesitate, second-guess themselves, or shut down the moment something feels hard, you’re not alone. Confidence isn’t something kids are born with (although my oldest son seems to have a healthy dose:-), it’s something...]]></description><link>https://www.studentsuccesscollective.com/post/how-students-build-real-confidence-what-parents-can-do-today</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6911fa14afb3ca6264f74ec6</guid><pubDate>Sat, 15 Nov 2025 02:29:46 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7adfe3_7f1d28ad0afa4fb7b31b7fc8d62f633e~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_768,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Kylie Larsen</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Navigating Report Card Time: A Guide for Parents]]></title><description><![CDATA[Report card time can stir up a lot of emotions — pride, relief, and sometimes… worry or disappointment.
