Do you believe that a child, any child, is lazy, adamant or mean?
Or
Do you believe that the same child can be smart, talented and well behaved?
What you believe about a child is what you will get!
Children have the distinct ability to sense our beliefs about them and present themselves to us accordingly.
Think about it.
Would you care for someone who believes you are a loser and labels you accordingly?
How about someone who believed in your abilities and saw a winner in you?
Would you care? Would you strive to live up to that "someone's" beliefs?
How would it be if that "someone" could be the people the child interacts with every single day - parents at home and teachers at school?
