Shell Shocked: Turtle Teaches Mindset

After exploring social harmony a few weeks ago, we're diving into something equally important: mindset mastery. As a Hero Intelligence teacher, I believe that mastering your mindset means having the skills to handle life's ups and downs with confidence.

Throughout my teaching career, I've nurtured what I call "Kindergarten Masterclass" classrooms—peaceful places where I've helped grow kindergarteners into life-long learners, often sought after by teachers and principals for their transformative impact.

Here, mindset mastery isn't just about thinking positively; it's about understanding how your thoughts and feelings affect your actions. When we don't have this mastery, we might struggle with negativity, self-doubt, and feeling disconnected from others.

So I'm doing something different this month! By popular request, we’ve created a special printable version of our monthly story lesson and activity. Now you can easily share Ava's Adventure and Animal Guide with your kids.

I'm thrilled to introduce you to Dr. Shefali Tsabary, PhD., a renowned authority in parenting and psychology, as we both share a passion for superpowers, offering valuable insights for parents and educators alike. Thanks to our sponsor, you have the rare chance to join Dr. Shefali's free webinar. She offers effective tools for daily parenting challenges. You won't want to miss this—read on for RSVP details!

This week, meet Tranquil Turtle who teaches the importance of mindfulness, providing us with tools like a breathing ball or bubbles for daily meditation. With the powerful quote, "Peace begins with me," Turtle reminds us that true peace emanates from within and radiates outward, influencing our interactions with the world around us.

This free adventure pack includes a captivating story, conversational topics to spark meaningful discussions, a cute coloring sheet, and fascinating facts about turtles. Designed using the Hero Intelligence teaching approach tested in my classrooms, it’s a great way to nurture positive thinking and emotional resilience in your children.

Make sure to grab this copy and collect them each month!

Creating a calm and nurturing environment is fundamental in helping children and parents ignore noise and distractions to master their mindset. Here are three essential tips to guide your children in discovering their inner strengths and resilience:

1. Start the Day with Serenity - Kick off each morning with a calming ritual—like the gentle ring of a bell or soothing music—that sets a peaceful tone for the day ahead. This mindful beginning helps children center themselves, readying them for learning and growth.

2. Dive into Mindfulness with Storytelling - Share "I Am Peace, A Book of Mindfulness" by Susan Verde with your child. This story not only engages them with its captivating narrative but also opens doors for discussions on mindfulness and its benefits. Explore online resources for read-alouds to deepen the experience and connect with your child.

3. Explore Educational Videos  - Watch this "Developing a Growth Mindset" video that uses beautiful nature images to expand kids' imagination of what mastery of our moods and decisions could be. It explores themes of perseverance, learning from mistakes, and embracing challenges, all of which are essential for developing a positive mindset.

Let's empower our children to cultivate inner peace and resilience through storytelling and teaching to the multiple intelligences.

Summer Sparks: Kids' 5-Day Journey of Transformation!

Here’s a glimpse into our incredible Camp SuperNova crew! In our first session this summer, Sylvia and I teamed up with Kidpreneurs to teach campers ages 6 to 12 about the 12 "P" milestones of how to become a successful entrepreneur - and it all started with mindset.

The experience has been nothing short of extraordinary! With nearly 40 kids in our first session and supported by a team of 8 fun and passionate coaches, we've seen transformations in just 5 days! Check out our Wall of SuperNovas that's filled with power pitches from our young entrepreneurs, each one showcasing their creativity, confidence, and determination. Seeing their progress has been incredibly rewarding.

I deeply believe in the potential of kids at this formative age. By helping them master their mood, mindset, and imagination, we're giving them the tools to thrive. This work means the world to me because I know the difference it can make. Please feel free to reply to this email with any questions or thoughts. We're here to support you and your child's journey.

Thank you for being part of this amazing community!
