How to Help Your Child Develop a Super Attitude (Parents)

Success is 90% attitude and 10% experience. Extensive research is being done on the kind of environment it takes to develop a super attitude in children. A "super attitude" goes way beyond what we normally think of as a "good attitude." Popular books like Emotional Intelligence and The Optimistic Child stress the importance of being proactive in teaching this vital character trait. Discover practical techniques you can use as a parent, teacher, or coach to help children develop the kind of attitude that makes them winners in school, relationships, and athletics.

You will learn:

• How body language affects your child's attitude and 5 ways to improve that language 
• How to provide 4 vital ingredients necessary for a super attitude
• How to encourage children to use "attitude building vocabulary" and steer clear of specific words and phrases that are "attitude killers"
• How to use the latest research findings on optimism to consciously teach this trait to your children
