The Different Faces of Success It’s vital to remember the following: - What one child’s “success” looks like may be completely different than another’s. - It’s not always tangible. . . it’s also a a feeling.
What is a “Bulldog Leader”?
Own the “I Don’t Know” Encouraging your child to ask questions is vital to their success, becoming autonomous, and achieving their goals…. whatever they may be. - raise your hand - seek out teacher after class/after school - send an email - look it up - Encourage them to do it on their own instead of doing it for them. When we do it for them, or always try to make things “better and right” we send them the underlying message “I don’t think/trust you can do it on your own. ”
Being Comfortable in the Uncomfortable Remember. . . uncomfortable situations are a part of life and are going to happen
