MINDSET MATTERS
We are Connected Mindset teaches us that everyone who comes into our lives can help us to achieve and live our dreams. Working with, for, and through others is crucial to realizing our dreams. When you understand this and constantly seek the positives from relationships with others, your performance in every area of your life improves. In the lessons for this mindset, we help students explore synergies with others, embrace diversity, and relish the competition that will allow them to maximize their potential by working with and through others. The 4 critical components of We Are Connected:
1. Embrace Everyone – Every person that comes into our lives has the potential to help us, hurt us, or have no impact at all. It makes sense to figure out how someone may be able to help us because the other options mean we are not growing or getting closer to our dreams, and may even be taking steps away from them. People who live great lives embrace everyone and constantly seek ways to serve and connect with those they encounter.
2. Maximize Positive Relationships – Some people in our lives lift us up and make us better, while others can bring us down. We must work to spend more time with people that empower us and less with the ones who don’t. We should also seek to expand ways to get more out of and put more into the great relationships of our lives.
3. Build Your Dream Team – Building a Dream Team is about identifying the individuals who can help us live our dreams. Perhaps they have experience we can draw from, access to resources we will need, or can provide us with critical support as we start the path toward our dreams and face the challenges that will bring. The important step is to recognize the critical role others play our lives, and deliberately begin developing the relationships that will help us.
4. Lead with Value – When we find people who can help us in life, we need to start building those relationships quickly so the cycle of giving can begin. A lesson many have learned is that if we seek ways to provide help before asking for help ourselves, we will get much more out of the relationship. We should always look for ways to lead with value to supercharge these relationships
READING IS TO THE MIND WHAT EXERCISE IS TO THE BODY!
Make Reading A Part Of Your Family Time.
Family time is so important… Why not make reading part of this valuable time with your kids? Here are some tips for integrating reading into our daily family activities:
- Read bedtime stories
- Play a board game
- Visit your local library
- Read a recipe and cook something yummy together!
- Create a comfy reading space in your home.
- Put your child in charge of reading the grocery list at the store.
Check For Understanding
Start the book by making predictions. What do you think will happen in this story?
Ask questions and make comments during the reading process.
After reading a book, have your child tell you the events from the story in the correct order. What was the problem in this story? How did the character feel when…?
Encourage your child to make connections. Does this story remind you of another book you read, an event in your life, a movie?
