Very Important

This is a very important article for everyone in general, but mainly for care-givers. Negative self thoughts and talk can be generated without noticing them especially in kids. So they need the most attention. It can be impressed by others on them or self generated, may be something genetics or due to the person personality. Those sensitive persons/ kids either naturally or due the way they were raised and taught or due to their understanding and interpreting adults' attitude toward them, espcially parents and closed relatives and personnel in the family, can be easily affected by this and easly developed in them. If a kid was treated in a special manner from his parents then he/ she finds it different out of his/ her home walls, this can develp such thing. Or if the treatment from his/her parents was changed suddenly.

Very important subject, thank you.

Positive Psychology for Kids

Well written, concise article that is good reading for every teacher as the school year planning begins. Especially liked the phrase "internal radio" but to update it more perhaps "internal ipod" would be more appropriate.I am a 4/5 grade teacher and witness yearly negative talk which needs to be addressed and looked at before a student can change his learning attitude.
