Positive Attitude

At the start of the new year, we each took some time to set a goal for ourselves and reflected on how we can achieve our goals. Accomplishing your goal is not always easy and requires effort, hard work, and perseverance. I hope to guide your child in finding joy in small successes and maintaining a positive attitude about bumps in the road. If you would like to extend this discussion at home, I have found a few books that you and your child can read together to guide your discussion.
