What You Say Is What You Are: Activity Guide (Paperback or Softback)

Children are born on purpose, for a purpose. Developing their work ethic and self-efficacy while they are young can instill productive habits that lead to life-long fulfillment and success.

If only there was a guidebook to direct kids to their ideal purpose while enhancing their aptitude for learning, increasing their overall motivation and classroom achievement.

This Activity Guide is that book! Use it along with the mentor text, What You Say Is What You Are, to set the mind for success. As children work through this interactive set, they will learn how to better use their words to empower their academic journey and triumph in every pursuit.

One negative word that affirms an inability, limited capacity, or low self-worth is enough to activate the amygdala in the brain. The amygdala is the area of the brain that reacts to perceived danger and pain. Stress hormones are released, making it difficult to think, impacting our performance. The groundbreaking, consistent, and practical tools housed with What You Say Is What You Are provide empirically proven strategies that will assist our young people in gaining self-awareness of the power of their words as well as support them through activities that will aid in increasing their sense of efficacy, value, and worth.

Dr. Small does an exceptional job of merging neuroscience, psychology, and educational strategies to develop a comprehensive tool that assists students of all ages and demographics.
