Trying new things can be challenging.Children may struggle to give their best effort to a new activity; they may worry about completing the activity perfectly; and they may feel thrown-off when struggling with a new task. Trying new things flexes our brain!#GrowthMindset #GrowAeo

Many children get anxious or stressed when their regular routine changes(particularly, if their parents are worried too). While we can't prevent our children from worrying, we can teach them healthy strategies for coping. #GrowthMindset #StandTallAeo #BigLifeJournal

Right now, it's important we show kindness, compassion, love, & help each other find the positives.We need to remember our brains are hardwired to focus on the negative.Use this short activity to combat the negative & enjoy some positivity! #StandTallGrowAeo

We are like a tree.The challenges we're facing are like the wind which bends the tree and strengthens its root system. So similar in life, challenges make us stronger! When we grow deep, we too, stand tall! #StandTallGrowAeo

When kids learn that putting forth effort & using the right strategies help them get better at things, they feel empowered & try harder. When they know their brains are capable of growing, they are more confident, resilient, & not afraid to fail! #StandTallGrowAeo #GrowthMindset

When you are learning, does your brain hurt? This feeling of the learning being hard means your brain is GROWING...too cool! So, anytime you try to do something difficult, just remember your brain is growing. #StandTallGrowAeo #growthmindset #BigLifeJournal

It all starts with self-love & we can choose the kind of thoughts we think about ourselves. The kind, empowering, & supportive thoughts will make us feel strong & loved. So be sure you are giving yourself unconditional love! #StandTallGrowAeo #GrowthMindset

Having an attitude of gratitude is a key to happiness and growth...take turns sharing what you are thankful for with your family and friends. #GrowthMindset #StandTallGrowAeo

Kindness Rocks are a wonderful way to spread joy & leave encouraging messages for others. You can hide them for others to find (for example, around your neighborhood or school) or simply pass them to friends and family. Live Mokapu. Spread Aloha. #GrowthMindset #StandTallGrowAeo

A weekly Ohana/family meeting is a powerful tool to create a bonded, resilient family unit and raise confident kids. You can discuss your family goals, give encouragement, share support, and much more! #GrowthMindset #StandTallGrowAeo

How can we help kids cope with BIG feelings when they experience failures or make mistakes? Create an action plan together of calming strategies to do in a heated moment to keep them growing. #GrowthMindset #StandTallGrowAeo

Resilient kids are prepared for life's challenges. When they make mistakes, they grow & learn from them. We can support their resiliency with examples from some great books. Check out the attached list. #StandTallGrowAeo #GrowthMindset

We get excited about starting fresh in January because it is a new beginning. It's a milestone. We can set new intentions, revisit old dreams and create new goals. So let's set new intentions for 2019 together with our children! #GrowthMindset

[Mokapu Elementary @mokapuelem]

How can we support kids to have a positive outlook instead of a negative one? A negative outlook coupled with repeated complaining rewires the brain. Overtime, it becomes easier to be negative than to be positive. Have you heard of the Jar of Awesome? Celebrate awesome moments!

What is there was a place where your kids can learn about the incredible power of their brain, problem solve, reflect on their mistakes, and dream big? Might you consider collaborating with your kids to create a Growth Mindset Corner? #growthmindset #StandTallAEOGrow

[Mokapu Elementary @mokapuelem]

How can we help kids not compare themselves to others and rather, become resilient and not give up when facing obstacles? As models for our children, let's help them focus on their efforts, their own progress, and their personal best. #GrowthMindset
