Finding Your North Star
Finding Your North Star
Do you always feel like you let your goals fall flat? Let’s use what works in the brain to help us create, achieve and maintain goals. We tell our kids to reach for the stars and dream big, but where is the follow through on how to actually catch those stars and dreams? Using brain science help us understand what works - and why it sometimes doesn’t.
Your parenting goals may be decreased stressed, increased kindness, peaceful content hearts, raising independent resilient kids, increased focus or even just getting those darn dishes into the dishwasher for once. (Can I get an amen?) No matter where your parenting goals fall or how you want to support your kids in doing more than dreaming of goals, in this digital social-emotional learning activity kit, we’ll learn how to use your brain to achieve them!
SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING ACTIVITY KIT: Finding Your North Star
Here’s what you’ll get:
Brain-splain: The bite-size overview of why setting and achieving goals is sometimes tricky and what your brain needs to get things done. When you’re done reading, you’ll know how you can start supporting your child and what skills you’ll be working to build this month.
Inhale+Exhale: Professional athletes, successful business people and many more use the power of visualization to reach their goals. You’ll do the same together, as a family.
Brain Boost: When we dream our goals, we need to think big, but to grow those goals, we need to think small - like paper clip small. Small actionable steps towards a goal repeatedly produce big results and that’s what we’re doing in this brain boost.
Journals: Many households have multiple kids, and adult support is just as crucial as kid support, so we provide three sets of four weekly journals (little kid, big kid, adult/teen) to help your family grow and bond. In this pack, you’ll start to work through the steps your brain needs to truly dig into your goals. You'll be empowered to make choices to achieve them.
Let’s Talk About It: Tired of asking what your kids feel and think and getting the cold, shrugged shoulder? A set of 12 conversation starters based around goal setting to help you get deeper than how was your day and help open the family communication.
Reach for the Stars: You can’t eat the elephant in one mouthful, you need to take bites. The same holds true with goals. This worksheet will help you walk through action steps your child/ren will take to successfully go after their goals.
Videos: Two short, fun videos - one for you and one for the kids to help explain what’s happening in the brain and how they have the power to make choices that benefit their mental and physical well-being.
FAQ’s
+ What age-group is this for?
Most of our printables are designed for preschool through elementary age kiddos, but you're not limited to that age-range, by any means. If you have children in multiple age groups, you're going to take what you learn and infuse it in your older kid's lives, too. Plus, if you have older children, the weekly journals will make a big impact on weaving social-emotional, mindful learning into your whole family.
+ My child has a diagnosis. Will this work for me?
100% yes. What we’re going to teach you is how to boost their brain in courage, kindness, respect, responsibility, gratitude, creativity, growth mindset and healthy lifestyle. No matter your child’s diagnosis or where their current mindset is, the life skills you’re going to teach them will impact their overall well-being, contentment and future success. Not only that, it will do the same for you, which will be pretty life-altering.
+ How much time will I need to devote each month?
The content and activities will not add more to your plate, it’s just going to make the moments you have more intentional. You’ll get a little nugget each month to focus on and tools and activities to deepen your knowledge on the topic. Over time, as you rewire your brain, you’ll see the changes you’ve made take root and flourish. We’re helping you change your mindset and giving you tools to help your kids change theirs.
+ How is the content delivered?
They will be instantly downloadable after you submit your order. You’ll also get an email with download options. You’ll find all the pdfs and a link to two fun (short!) learning videos - one for your kids and one for you. View and print any of the printable PDF’s that you’d like! Stick them in a binder and use them all year long.
+ Can I share the content I get with my friends?
We would love for you to share how much you love this program with your friends and family, but each purchase is licensed for one family and can only be used with the immediate family or caregiver. If your family is in a dual house situation, you can of course share it with both houses.
