“The best thing we can do for kids… Instead of teaching them how to always be successful… Teach them how to respond when they are not successful!”   ~ Principal El 

Reminder… 5 Ways to Develop Mental Toughness and Resiliency …

1. Get up Early… when the alarm goes off, don’t hit the snooze … get out of bed…

2. Make Your Bed as a Habit… as soon as you get up make your bed - perfectly! Start the day with a Win!

3. Do Work… Attend AM Open Gym or if not, do push-ups, sit-ups, etc…

4. When the School Day is Over… Study First … If you have early Bball Practice, then study after practice… If you have late Bball Practice, then stay at school, attend Study Hall and Do Your Work… Read, Re-Read, Write, Re-Write, Review - That’s what homework is… 

5. Eat Something You Don’t Like Regularly… as a Habit… Mr. Smith doesn’t let tomatoes be tougher than him… He still doesn’t like tomatoes, but he eats them anyway… 

Why do all the things above … because they are usually the last things you want to do… Do the things that you don’t want to do, but that are good for you, and make them a part of your Daily Habits… That’s how one Develops Mental Toughness.
