Some thoughts gleaned and thought about during a MindChamp briefing today:
* Raising children who are mentally tough
* Setting expectations of their own
* Avoid formation of negative thoughts
* Teach them how to handle adversity of their lives
* Children are already bogged down with school work, why give them more to demoralise them
* desirable mindset: self confidence, communication skills, interpersonal social skills, learning flexibility (learn-unlearn-relearn), relationship to learning
* how a child learns and reacts to the world is dependent on his/her relation to their parents and how they view the world themselves
* lessons should be understood, stored, recalled and applied
* cannot expect changes if same method is used all the time
* information needs to be curated for the child, need to relate the purpose
* english: read, write, listen, speak
