The reading specialist finished fall testing mid-September and have been seeing students for the past two weeks. It is so great to work with students in-person. Please reach out if you would like to schedule a meeting with us. Here are some tips for discussions with your kids at home:
● Talk about it! Talk with your child about their day but guide the discussion by asking questions like:
○ Did you make a mistake today? What did you learn?
○ What did you do today that was difficult?
● Praise the Process! Instead of saying “You are so smart!” praise effort, goal setting, persisting through a challenge, or being creative.
○ Wow! You must have worked really hard on this!
● The Brain Can Grow! Remind your child that their intelligence is not fixed. Remind them that when things are difficult, their brain grow, if they persist through the challenge.
○ Wow! You persisted, and made your brain grow a new connection!
