Class Experience

This class is meant to help kids understand and recognize negative thoughts that come from making a mistake. I include personal stories of famous historical people like Walt Disney, Thomas Eddison, and many other inventors with pictures of the inventions that were made from a mistake or let downs, like Disney, the light bulb, chocolate chip cookies, fireworks, etc. I will also be teaching kids about neuroplasticity in the brain. We will learn 7 different things that we can do to feel better when we make mistakes, and we will practice ways to reframe our negative thinking when we make a mistake. 
The course encourages interaction between the students and the teacher, including practicing challenging our negative thinking. My slides use visual based learning techniques with videos and pictures to help the kids remember what we are learning. I encourage students to practice making mistakes, challenging their unhelpful thoughts outside of their class, and teach their families what they learned.
Learning Goals
Students will learn to normalize making a mistake and practice overcoming negative thoughts from perfectionism. Students will learn about different historical mistakes or let downs and will learn 7 different tips to overcome perfectionism. Students will also practice challenging negative thoughts into more helpful ones.
