Mindset and the Mind/Brain Behind the Scenes:
Helping our Children to Succeed in School and Beyond

Why do some children (and adults) persevere at learning and other tasks, while others seem to give up at the slightest challenge?  A big part of the answer may be their Mindset.  Come explore how something as seemingly simple as the way we speak to and praise our children - as well as other factors - may have a significant influence on them.  This workshop is good for parents with children of all ages – AND for the adults themselves.
