Dream and Goals

My Goals for the Grow Grit Book series:

Encourage a growth mindset: I believe it is important for kids to develop intrinsic motivation and autonomy through the development of long-term goals. Setting our sights on performance goals, rather than outcome goals provide a basis for long-term satisfaction. I hope these books give children a love for battling new challenges and that they grow up eager to explore what this big, beautiful world has to offer.
Cultivate kids' self-confidence: I believe it is important for kids to learn how to practice positive self-talk and positive body language. The more they understand that even mistakes and failures teach us, the more they can focus on celebrating their journey, mistakes and all. My books will teach kids to be courageous enough to take risks and trust that the dots will someday connect. I want to teach kids how it feels to be scared and brave all at once, and how to move past fear and learn to jump.
Increase kids’ focus and attention: We all get side-tracked and that's why it's important to have rituals to reset oneself. My hope is that these stories will help kids get back on track and focus on the task at hand. Life itself is overwhelming. I want to help kids see that everyone faces hurdles and that we can stay focused with habits and mantras.
Develop perseverance and grit: Setbacks and failures teach us how to be graceful in the face of adversity. My books aim to encourage diligence and a hard work ethic.
