Welcome to KidNuz Convos. I'm Mark Curtis, a longtime political reporter and a board member of KidNuz.

Ilia Malinan did not have the Olympics he’d hoped for. The world champion and overwhelming men's figure skating favorite headed into the games high on momentum and confidence. But from first ice, he was shaky. He ushered his fellow Americans to Team Gold, but it still wasn’t the Ilia anyone was expecting. He admitted as much, telling reporters that Olympic pressure was next-level.

Welcome to Kid News Convos. I'm Tori. And today we're having a fascinating conversation with Jenny Anderson, award-winning journalist and co-author of the book, The Disengaged Teen, helping kids learn better, feel better, and live better. It's about why kids lose interest in learning and how to regain that spark of curiosity. And it's surely timely advice at the start of the school year. Thank you, Jenny, for joining us. It's great to have you here.
