There’s nothing like learning and growing along side your kids!
As many of you know, I read a lot of personal development. Life with better when you are growing yourself. But tonight was extra special for me!
Tonight we started Big Life Journal!
Keenan read stories about people who are making a difference in the world, and chose his own person to write about. He also had the chance to write about a person he would like to help.
Rhys answered some questions to determine whether he had a fixed or growth mindset. He was proud to report he has a growth mindset. He also “designed” an app that would ask people questions on whether they had a fixed or growth mindset.
At the same time, I read my current PD book, Perfection Detox, which addressed being a benefit-seeker (looking for the positivity in life). When we all came back together to talk about what we learned through our books, the boys thought it was cool that I learned how our thoughts and actions can actually re-shape the neuronal structure in the brain (neuroplasticity), and develop patterns that are either negative or positive; so what we intentionally seek out will form these pathways.
Best way to spend a Tuesday night!
