| December 8, 2011 | Self-Talk: A Key to Academic Success Faced with difficult challenges, kids cannot help but talk to themselves. The question is, can they talk their way through the hard parts by identifying bite-size pieces and telling themselves they can do it? Or do they spiral into saying negative things that erode their self-confidence and prevent them from experiencing success? Dr. Bonnie Singer, founder and CEO of Architects For Learning, will outline some of the common challenges kids face in school and introduce powerful ways to help them harness self-talk, a critical component of success. Please join us for this free seminar on December 8th, from 6:30-7:30 pm at our Gould Street office. Please RSVP: Phone: Olivia Miller, 781-235-8412 / email: office@architectsforlearning.com |
