Hey Kids, You’re Smarter Than You Think!
As your parent, it breaks my heart to hear you say, “I’m not smart enough.” But here’s the truth: you are capable of amazing things!
Don’t believe me? Let’s look at some incredible people who didn’t give up. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” And J.K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, was rejected 12 times before becoming a bestselling author!
You might not be good at one thing, but you’re amazing at others. Maybe you’re super creative, a math whiz, or an awesome reader. That’s what makes you special!
As Carol Dweck, a famous researcher, says, “You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.” (Zig Ziglar)
So, let’s make a deal. Instead of saying “I’m not smart enough,” let’s say:
“I can learn this!”
“I’ll try my best!”
“I’m proud of myself!”
Remember, your worth isn’t what you know, but who you are. You’re kind, curious, and full of potential.
Nelson Mandela said, “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”
You will fall, but you’ll get back up. And when you do, you’ll be smarter, stronger, and more amazing than before!
Believe in yourself, kiddo. You got this!
