Building a Growth Mindset

I started this blog with the intention of not only building literary scholars, but children who developed into truly whole people.

But I didn’t have the right tools, nor was I as attached to this idea as I thought I was.

But I came upon this idea that children need to develop a growth mindset, a “can do” attitude and an ability to see the “bigger picture.”

So here we are…hope you enjoy this journey with me.

This website will serve as a tool and resource for parents, teacher and anyone looking to find new ways to aid in the development of children and their journey to becoming adults.

With that said, I found Class Dojo Big Ideas,5 minute online exercises where they introduce kids to the idea that your brain is like a muscle you need to strengthen to grow. I love it.

Check it out, and tell me what you think.

REVIEW: The Animal Boogie

I can’t say enough about this book. It’s fun, it’s playful and my kids love it. The publishers dedication to creating a multicultural audience is one of the main reasons why I have become an ambassador for the publishing company. So Shake, swing, sway, and boogie your way through this book. It truly is a great read for babies and children.
