Growth Vs. Fixed Mindset Reframing

Instead of offering vague advice about “positive thinking,” give your students real tools to solve their issues with frustration, decision paralysis, and negative self-talk!

The 36-page, neuro-developmental curriculum, “Growth Vs. Fixed Mindset Reframing: Action-Oriented Problem-Solving,” is specifically designed for 2nd through 5th graders, at a time when many kids experience the hurdles outlined above. This resource doesn't simply tell children to "keep trying"; it gives them the skills to understand how their cognitive reframing systems work so they can start to use them. Students will be exposed to real-life situations they encounter in school today. As a result, they will learn how to identify and change their "Stuck Voices" and create or develop a plan of action to tackle their individual problem.

What is included in this resource:

- Educator's Methodology Guide: A comprehensive understanding of the neuroscience behind self-talk and how to teach cognitive restructuring.

- 8 Additional Student Worksheets: 8 highly relatable worksheets that target common youth problems like "Homework Heroes," "Recess Resolutions," "Creative Catastrophes," "Friendship Fixes," and "Chore Challenges."

- Classroom Visuals and Anchor Charts: 3 classroom visuals, “The Metacognitive Reframing Cycle,” “The Cognitive Fork in the Road,” and “The Action-Strategy Matrix,” to visually reinforce the lessons taught in this curriculum.

- Step-by-Step Implementation Guide: A three-phase implementation plan for parents and teachers.

- Detailed Answer Keys: Subjective answer keys with examples of strategies for assessing student understanding and for generating discussion.

Suitable for educators in classrooms, guidance counselors, home schooling parents all interested in developing their child’s ability to use resilience/foster self-advocacy/foster emotional self-regulation over the course of his/her life!

Why Parents / Schools Love It :

This program focuses on Giving Kids Specific Examples of How to Solve Problems instead of vague and meaningless quotes like "believe in yourself." In addition, the program is Based on Mechanism of the Brain; It teaches kids through simple examples how to deal with psychological issues (such as changing how you feel about something or making yourself not care about something).

The worksheets used in this program are identical to those used in the children's daily life such as when you mess up your drawing, get into an argument on the playground, have no chores left to do, do not understand how to solve a math problem, etc...

The ultimate goal of this program is to create self-sufficient children by Teaching Them to Become Adults. The program also has the Highest Degree of Ease-of-Use: Everything needed to start right away (theory, worksheets, visuals, etc.) is included in the package when received.
