Reduce the Risk of School Failure for Your Children
It's that time of year again when families are thinking about their kids going back to school. If you are like most parents, you're not only thinking about
ensuring your child has all of the supplies they will need for school, you are also worried about whether your child will be picked on, bullied and be able
to keep up academically in a radically changing educational environment.
Toronto Ryerson University Professor, Susan T Howson has developed a tool to position your child for greater success. Manifest Your Magnificence is a set of
64 vibrant and unique cards that promote positive values and self-esteem.
Most people assume that academic learning has little or nothing to do with how one feels about themselves. In fact, some people argue that too much emphasis
has been placed on "feel good" ideas and not enough on core academics like reading, writing and arithmetic. And the truth is that they are interdependent.
Neuroscience tells us that when a child trying to learn doesn't feel good about themselves, the centres for learning in the brain are temporarily hampered.
And so, there is a direct link between self-esteem, emotional strength and learning.
We have all had times when we wanted to give up but when our thoughts are positive and our values strong, we keep going, achieving success in spite of our
circumstances.
Norman Vincent Peale, the author of the Greatest Inspirational Bestseller of our time, The Power of Positive Thinking, shows how positive thinking can be
used to overcome defeat, leading to a more successful life.
Students that have a positive sense of self, self-esteem and positive values have greater motivation to succeed and can deal with bullying situations more
effectively. They believe in their abilities, are able to communicate more successfully, concentrate, set goals and overcome obstacles.
If you want to reduce the risk of your child doing poorly at school, start the day with Manifest Your Magnificence and arm your child for success.
