Mark Your Calendars!
Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, March 14, 2017 from 7 – 8 PM to hear Amy Maus a Licensed Social Worker from West County Psychological come speak to us at the Home & School Meeting about Instilling Grit in our children. Amy spoke to the teachers and staff on Monday, February 13 about this very same topic and how the school can instill these skills in our students and now she’s coming to do a presentation for families. The class with the highest attendance will receive a donut party. Please invite your family and friends from other schools as well. The event is free of charge.
Instilling Grit:The Art of Raising Highly Self-Motivated Kids
No, it isn’t your imagination that children in our nation today seem more anxious and less independent. More entitled and less capable. More worried and less resilient. Why is this?
Come hear author and prolific speaker Amy Maus discuss how to instill grit, self-motivation, and independence in our children, even when the current cultural climate pressures us to do the opposite.
Topics Include:- How we create or suppress grit and internal motivation in our kids.
- Today’s culture says: rescue, manage, and do too much for our children.
- Why anxiety is on a steep rise in our children and youth. How to build independence, boost self-esteem, and create long-term grit!
God Bless you and your family,
