All Things E.Q.
The theme this quarter is:
"Am I making an honest effort?"
This week we are going to focus on confusion because when students feel confused, they often stop trying. The motto for the week is:
"I work through confusion."
Students often think if they are confused they are not smart enough. Feeling confused is frustrating for sure, but confusion is a natural part of learning.
This week, let's help our children understand that confusion doesn't mean you're not smart. In fact, confusion means you're learning. Working together, we can help our students persevere through confusion, rather than allow confusion to be a reason to stop trying.
Let's help our kids think differently about confusion.
Old Thought Patterns
If I am confused it means:
- I am not smart.
- My teacher is terrible because I get confused in class.
- I quit because I am confused.
New Thought Patterns
If I am confused it means:
- I am learning.
- My teacher is great because he/she challenges me.
- I keep trying because confusion is a normal part of learning.
Understanding that confusion is normal can help lower feelings of anxiety, and frustration and instead encourage perseverance and resiliency.
To help reinforce these ideas at home, the next time your child feels confused during homework you can share how impressed you are that they keep trying. After all, they can't improve if they give up.
Have a great week!
