Typically, we all start off with lofty goals but somewhere along the line we taper off and fall back into the same patterns as before.<\/p>\n
The same thing probably happens to your child.\u00a0 We\u2019re about half done with the school year, and those exciting promises of good grades or straight A\u2019s are forgotten.\u00a0 That\u2019s because we are human.\u00a0 That doesn\u2019t mean we have to accept it.<\/p>\n
Experts in the science of success give the brain credit for being a goal-seeking organism.\u00a0 It happens through the subconscious mind.\u00a0 And yes, your kids have the same internal voice that you do.\u00a0 They hear the same negatives and positives that you do, and if they have learning differences, the negatives are probably greater than the positives.<\/p>\n
So, what do you need to do?\u00a0 Children by nature are visionary creatures.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, 75 to 90% of what we take in is visual in nature.\u00a0 Because of this, your child not only needs to verbalize goals, but to write them down or find a picture of them.\u00a0 Repetition is important as well.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s easy to do.\u00a0 Talk to your child about a specific goal.\u00a0 What does he\/she want to do this year?\u00a0 Have him\/her write it down or find a picture of it or draw it.\u00a0 More than one goal is okay, but it\u2019s best to focus on one at a time.<\/p>\n
Now, here\u2019s where the work comes in.\u00a0 Your child will need to visit the goal at least once a day.\u00a0 You can tape it to the bathroom mirror or on a dresser\u2026whatever works.\u00a0 Just make sure that it is visited at least once a day, more if possible.\u00a0 Have your child look at the goal and say it out loud.\u00a0 \u201cI am\u201d statements are the most powerful, such as \u201cI am going to learn to write a complete sentence by the end of the year.\u201d\u00a0 You might need to help with the goal setting and the follow-through, but always keep in mind\u2026the brain is listening and watching.\u00a0 It\u2019s waiting to pass on the science of learning success!<\/p>\n
