In this session with L we explored the concept of negative opinions, attitudes and words from other people. The impact that negativity has on children and adults can be immense. However, we can decide if we allow that negativity to stay in our minds. It takes courage, determination and most of all practise to reject it. This can’t happen of course without challenges and difficult times.
It’s important that we emphasis to children that challenges help us to grow. This should happen a little while after it has happened.
Ask your child; what has this challenge taught you? What did you learn from it? How can it make you more resilient?
In this session we had fun realising that using all our energy to dwell on other people’s views and attitudes, helps us to achieve absolutely nothing.
We focused on all the other things she could have been doing and could have achieved by using her energy positively. Negative energy stops us working towards what we should be doing.
