I’m paying attention more often now to those things that repeat themselves to me over and over again. It seems that sometimes it takes a while to get my attention but when it does, it is worth it! This fall, I’ve been exposed to opportunities over and over again to hear and read about a new book called, Mind in the Making by Ellen Galinsky. This book speaks to seven essential skills children need to reach their fullest-potential. The list includes:
- Focus and Self-Control
- Perspective Taking
- Communicating
- Making Connections
- Critical Thinking
- Taking on Challenges
- Self-Directed Learning
