Imagine when you get up in the morning you see a map on our mirror - a map of habits of mind.
You randomly choose one of those, say perseverance.
Now whatever happens during the day, in your and your child's life you focus on perseverance.
You voice your thoughts aloud, "I wish I was more perseverant with the bargaining at the shop"
You invite child's thoughts via questions, "What would happen if Chota Bheem was not so perseverant in fighting with the dragon".
You throw challenges at the child, "I am going to make you eat this - lets see who is more perseverant - you or I".
You spot it in the child's behaviour, "I saw how perseverant you were when you all friends were discussing after the football match whether it was a goal or not''.
....
You live to explore perseverance, just for a day.
Imagine the next day when you wake up, you choose another one from the map of habits of mind.
An
d
this daily diet of exploration is the way you and child together enjoy collecting, playing and creating understanding about each habit of mind that is important to you and your child.warmly
