Saying "YET", practice, believing in yourself and never giving up... are keys to being able to do something or not. Ms. Leslie, Artist, Kindness and Confidence Mentor will introduce your student to the power of the Growth Mindset word YET. Using the word YET inspires us to keep trying, to use different strategies, to ask for help, and to continue to practice. Most of all, saying "YET" gives us hope, to believe in ourselves. When we are trying to accomplish new things or when we run into roadblocks, we say YET to allow more time to practice. YOU can do it. YOU just can't do it YET. Students will: - Practice adding YET to the end of, "I can't.. I don't know.. I don't understand.. It doesn't make sense" statements - Learn a YET cheer - Set goals using the power of YET - Learn to sign the word YET - Create a YET sign If your student struggles with perfection, or becomes easily frustrated, practicing and learning to use the word YET can be magical. Less pressure, more hope. If your student doesn't necessarily struggle, but wants to be more effective, using the word YET can heighten performance in a healthy manner. I am making this a 1:1 class to encourage students to feel comfortable saying what they can't do YET. I am pricing the course according to the class size (1:1 with a Confidence and Kindness mentor), class time (45 minutes) and the Life Skill (confidence building) nature of this class. I am skilled at inclusion and encouragement and have managed and motivated adults and students for over 30 years. I will give your student a kind and accepting place to express themselves. I have taught this YET concept for 14 years and know your student will come away feeling like they CAN DO IT! Ms. Leslie will ask students to FEEL the difference in their bodies between saying "I can't do it." and "I can't do it YET.". Students will also learn an "I CAN DO IT.. I CAN DO IT" cheer to use when they encounter a “USE THE WORD YET NOW!” situation. Students will proudly read what they can’t do YET. Saying what we can’t do out loud, to supportive listeners, empowers us to keep trying! After this class, parents will hear the word YET more. Parents will be encouraged to reward their students with praise when they hear them use YET! Below are all the classes I currently teach with links. Thank you! Ms. Leslie Please see reviews for my "I AM", "YET" and "Confident Friendship" Kindness and Confidence classes to hear directly from parents about their child's experience in my Life Skill/Wellness classes and to see student pictures of the projects.

Learning Goals
Students will learn to use the mighty little word YET to give themselves hope that they can accomplish things over time. Students will experience safe and supportive public speaking practice, as well as self esteem and confidence building skills by presenting, listening and supporting each other's YET statements. Growth mindset skills will be combined with fun and fellowship, along with practicing art and drawing skills. Ms. Leslie has taught this concept for a decade to students. I am a skilled and experienced mentor.

Prior to that I was a Financial Advisor and Manager, motivating and managing clients, for 25 years. I am skilled at inclusion and work hard to inspire young people to know and appreciate themselves.
