Synopsis

"Your brain is the most amazing thing, it listens to what you say ..."
Your children will use the positive self-talk in this book to be able to better handle any situation.Positive self-talk and a Growth Mindset are incredibly powerful tools for lifelong learning. This delightful new children's book brings Growth Mindset language into your child's world through 6 beautifully illustrated stories.
 
The concept of a Growth and Fixed Mindset was developed by psychologist Prof Carol Dweck and popularized in her book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. "Hello Brain?" shows, teachers, parents and children what both of these mindsets look, feel and sound like in common situations that happen every day.
 
Themes covered

• The first day at school - new experiences - being nervous
• Frustration when learning something new - taking risks
• Being aware of and choosing behaviours
• Understanding that emotions can be controlled
• The power of the words we use
• Uncertainty and anxiety

Children will learn that by "talking to their brain" they can be happier and more confident in almost any situation.

"Hello Brain?" is intended to be read to children by parents and teachers to stimulate discussion about the language to use to support and empower their children. By using and modelling the language demonstrated in "Hello Brain?" you can reinforce a positive growth mindset that will change the way your child thinks and responds to challenges ... it may also change how you think! :)

From the author: I have been teaching in Primary schools for more than 20 years. In this time I became intensely aware of the difference that growth mindset language can make to children's learning. I have seen time and again the difference a few simple phrases can make to a child's resilience, ability to learn and overall happiness.

The joy of seeing this change is something I want to share with all teachers and parents. The daily use of Growth Mindset language is one of the most powerful teaching tools I have ever used so I know this will work for you too.
If you buy this book, firstly thank you! And secondly, if you see improvements in your children's lives it would mean the world to me if you would share your stories via an Amazon review or directly with me via my Instagram or facebook Hellobrain pages.
Please reach out to me as I would love to hear from you.
Thank-you!

About this title

From the Author

My mission is to help teachers and parents discover the language of growth mindset so they can empower their children in learning and life.  
I use growth mindset language in my class every day so I've seen the changes in young lives first hand. The power that a child's self-talk has on every aspect of their lives is not talked about enough ... and there are certainly not enough books that children can read to help change their self-talk. That is why I wrote Hello Brain?.   If you have read this far, thank you! I really hope the language in Hello Brain? helps your children as much as it has helped mine. "Your brain is the most amazing thing, it listens to what you say ... "  This book is part of a comprehensive teaching package complete with lesson plans, instructional videos and worksheets. Look for these resources at hellobrain.com.au
