Working Memory Bootcamp: Week 3

Focus and Flex: Strengthening Memory Through Manipulation and Spaced Retrieval

[Substack’s voiceover feature is down tonight - audio will hopefully be available tomorrow!]

First, I want to tell you what a wonderful job you’re doing.

You’ve made it to week three of the Working Memory Bootcamp—and that is no small feat. Every moment you’ve spent helping your child grow these skills is making a real difference.

The repetitions.

The short practices.

The celebrations and the frustrations.

The pauses when things got too hard and the persistence when you tried again.

It all matters. It really really matters.

So take a second to acknowledge what you’re building here—not just a stronger brain, but a stronger relationship with your child around learning and growth.

Remember, this series is about more than games and strategies.

It’s about celebrating your child’s brain exactly where it is—while helping it grow, gently and consistently.
