    Alex and Brooklyn Thinking

    I believe we can make a difference; for myself, for others and for my community:

    • Emerging:
      • I understand that mistakes are essential for learning
      • I use positive self talk as I seek to achieve my goals
      • I seek input from others to help me make decisions
    • Growing:
      • I am robust as I overcome challenges and upsets
      • I am positive and persistent as I strive to achieve my goals
      • I can make independent decisions, seeking input from others when needed
