How do you expand your child’s capacity for a ‘can do’ attitude?

Why is this important? Because when your child or teen says “I can’t…(eat that/do that/learn that)” it prevents them from exploring what they can do.

Hearing someone declare a limitation before real-time capability testing can be frustrating because it’s a careless recollection of a failure memory rather than imagining success. If you believe in his ‘I can’t’, you accept his limitation. However, trying to persuade them that they ‘can’ do it (after all, they ARE able) often engages in a battle that sends them into the corner of justification.

Helping children and young people to experience more in life, not less, means that they can expand their mental map of what they can do with their brain.

This example of our Happy Brain program trains a 10-year-old boy through an experience of great value to him. The game is the value of the child. We will name the boy José.

“Joseph, are you ready for some more brain training tips to help you develop more mental superpowers? Would you like a smart and easy way to feel more confident? How about being a more confident gamer?”

Of course, answering yes to this deserves kudos because that’s a champion mentality attitude.

“Can you imagine feeling stronger and more confident while playing?

Let’s do a thought experiment:

Using my PES scale from 1 to 10, see how you feel while saying to yourself (out loud) the following statements:

measurement of emotions

I CAN become a more confident player.

I WANT to be a more confident player.

I WILL BECOME a more confident player.

I AM becoming a more confident player.

Which word (IN CAPITAL LETTERS) helped you feel more confident?

Notice how these words trigger an energy to move TOWARDS choosing to become a safer player. How do you feel when you say these words?

This is important because nothing in your life has changed, only your choice of language tells your brain what feelings will help you feel more powerful, clear and determined.

And the reverse is also true, let’s try another thought experiment:

Using my PES scale from 1 to 10, see how you feel while saying to yourself (out loud) the following statements:

I CANNOT become a more confident player.

I DON’T WANT TO become a ” ” “

I will NOT become a ” ” “

I AM NOT becoming a ” ” “

Oh dear, these words push an energy away from the choice to be more confident. Instead, the words tell your brain to narrow down your options. How do you feel when you say those words? What word (IN ALL CAPS) left you feeling less confident? crazy huh? How a few words can change your feelings of motivation!

Once again, though nothing in his life has changed, only his choice of language has caused his feelings (motivation) to veer toward less trust.

So what words work best for you?

Now you can CHOOSE whether or not to deliberately steer your brain TOWARDS or AWAY from feeling confident in gaming or indeed in any area of ​​your life (school, hobbies, friendships, etc.). How do you feel about that?

Try this:

I CAN practice developing my brain power.

I WANT to practice developing my brain power

I will practice the development of my mental power

I AM practical developing my mental power

I CANNOT practice developing my brain power

I DON’T WANT to practice developing my brain power

I will NOT practice developing my brain power

I AM NOT practicing developing my brain power

What words (IN CAPITAL LETTERS) help you feel the strongest motivation?

I hope you enjoyed this thought experiment. Why not give it a try with your school friends and help them realize how powerful their choice of words can be? Special Agent Joseph, let me know what you find out!”
