“Remember This!”

My daughter and I are on the road visiting my parents. We forgot her favorite bear, and we had a crisis at bedtime last night.

“I can’t sleep without Almondine!” she cried.

“You can do it!” I encouraged her.

It was a battle between a FIXED and GROWTH mindset.

Of course, she slept well (and slept in! 9am!).

This morning, I told her proud I was of her. Throughout the day, I tried to remind myself about this small victory, a moment where she was able to do something she didn’t think she was able to do.

“Remember this!” I told her.

With her school career starting in less than a week, I know I will.
