TOOLKIT = GROWTH MINDSET
On October 27, 2020, I participated in the Parenting in Motion Virtual Summit and you can click on this link to view the video of my presentation on Growth Mindset Tools for Young Minds. There were so many other great presentations from that day too so I recommend checking out several and not just mine. At the very end, I introduced some sweet superheroes who use the four tools from the toolkit in my book, Ready, Regan?, to battle through life’s daily challenges. You can find those coloring pages (created by my talented son) & an activity sheet right here.

Snippets from a few of my favorite reviews for Ready, Regan?
This is me with the very first proof copy of Ready, Regan?, my first published book! The feeling that comes from holding an actual book in your hands after years of work is indescribable but utterly delightful.
Jacqueline S: Regan is a third grader who we can all relate to. A little worried, a little shy, very sweet and kind, she wants to be noticed by her teacher, but is afraid she might answer wrong.
Jim D: A compelling story that keeps you wanting to read more, to find out what happens to Regan. I would encourage it for any kid looking to tackle projects, school, life etc. And a few lessons in there for grown-ups as well.
Jake B: This book is a great gift for the straight-A perfectionist always needing to be right as well as for the discouraged student who may find it hard to be right. It's a kid-friendly story that will actually "teach them how to fish" and learn how to learn.
Ryan P: My daughter is in first grade and we had so much fun discovering what each tool could be used for and also talking about how she might apply them at school and at home. Also a great story about friendship and helping others!
Amy O: Regan will appeal to young readers with her enthusiasm, grit, and love of life and family. This is a great read for students getting ready for that first day of school. It reinforces the crucial lesson that being wrong is an important part of life for everyone, and our wrongs often lead to the best rights!
While I love these reviews, my favorite would be YOURS! New reviews help others find my book and I’d like to get it in as many little hands and minds as possible. And, if you’re a teacher, I’d love a review that shares how you used it successfully in the classroom. The more children that embrace the growth mindset the better! Thanks so much.
