Re: [MOSAIC] Opening Minds chapter 2

You have chosen the exact part that elicited the strongest reaction from me, when I first read this book!! Honestly, I have been trying to forgive Johnston ever since - as this piece caused a huge disconnect for me. I love Johnston's work, have been a huge advocate of Carol Dweck's work for years,

Who was it that said "Children do not remember WHAT we say or do, they remember the way we made them feel." Johnston is saying our words (and actions) can make them feel motivated, proud, capable, and yes, loved. Judy On 2013-02-05 4:17 PM, "Beverlee paul" wrote: >What keeps coming to me as I
