Very Lulu

We all have that one friend that walks to the beat of their own drum. And there is nothing wrong with that as long as they are being true to themselves. This is a sweet book that my little one loves reading over and over.
You Are Awesome
Being awesome at things that are important to you could be as simple as changing your mindset. Sometimes we are taught or accept a position on a subject instead of digging in and making what you want happen.
Whether through self doubt, gender stereo type, or having failed and given up; have you ever thought:
You need a special type of brain to understand math
I have two left feet and can’t dance
You’re either good at sports or you’re not
I don’t have a musical bone in my body
Looking at the above statements, can you see that they aren’t actually true statements? They are myths that can be busted if you change your mind set and learn the skills each line item needs.
Within the pages of You Are Awesome, you will find ways to be inspired and motivated to change. Written towards students moving up to middle school, the goal is to give them the skills needed to bust through some of the self defeating ideas they have internalized.
Parents and Teachers can download a FREE resource for ideas on discussion questions and how to use You Are Awesome with your child or student.
