7 Mindsets Curriculum - Parent Info for January

Focusing Students on the Positive

The Attitude of Gratitude Mindset teaches us the importance of seeking the positives from every

experience and being thankful for all that we have. Through this mindset, we learn that we can use

the positives or the negatives of our lives as the foundation on which to build. Choose the positives,

and we are on our way toward extraordinary success; choose the negatives, and we embark on path

toward disappointment, resentment, and suffering. In these lessons, we guide students to focus on all the things they have, leaving no time to be distracted by what they don’t.

Behavior Tip

Research has shown a positive association between the amount of time kids spend in front of a screen and behavioral & mental health issues. In this case, "positive' does not mean "good". It means that one factor directly influences the other. Simply put, the more time spent with cell phones, games, and idle television watching, the higher the likelihood that a student will have behavioral and or mental health challenges.

Just how much screen time? Anything more than two hours a day has been shown to negatively impact one's sense of emotional, behavioral, and physical health! Consider implementing more healthy boundaries around free use of technology.

Applying parental controls to specific apps is a great parenting action!
Monitor what your student is viewing on their tech devices.
Try to limit the use of technology to an hour or so before bedtime (sleep can be greatly disturbed with tech use too close to bedtime)

In addition to all of this, the frequency of harassment and bullying over social apps like Snapchat and TikTok is rampant and directly impacts a student's sense of well-being and safety.
