How do kids learn to set goals? What is the brain science behind setting goals? And where does the Law of Attraction fit in?
These are a few of the questions explored during a passionate discussion between educator, reading tutor and online tutoring expert, Joanne Kaminski, and life coaching for kids expert, Renaye Thornborrow.
The two discussed how educators, teachers and tutors can achieve better results with students using mindset skills.
Watch the 5-minute conversation in the video above.
What is the brain science behind setting goals and the Law of Attraction?
Joanne shares that when she first started to learn mindset skills as an adult, that’s when she started creating amazing success. She shares that she was first introduced to the concepts by the book, “The Secret”, by Rhonda Byrne. The book changed her life.
Joanne asks Renaye how the Law of Attraction comes into play when life coaching kids?
Renaye observes that the book and movie, “The Secret” helped bring Law of Attraction and life coaching to the mainstream.
She shares that she recently had a conversation with Jack Canfield (who was interviewed in “The Secret”) about the Law of Attraction for kids and how mindset skills help kids learn how to manifest their goals – and the brain science behind it.
Renaye talks about the importance for children to learn how to:
- Create a vision for their lives. It’s not about houses or cars, but more about what kind of person you want to be
- Set goals and achieve them – most kids still aren’t taught these skills
- Understand how visualization, affirmations, and gratitude create positive energy and train their brain for success
The Reticulator Activating System – Kids’ RADAR to set goals and achieve them
She explains that setting a goal or intention stimulates the Reticular Activating System (RAS) in the brain. The RAS connects the conscious and subconscious mind, so you pay attention to things that are important to you (like your goal).
Visualization is important because it creates success in our mind and builds neural pathways around what we want to achieve. When neural pathways are strong, that becomes our new comfort zone.
When seeing ourselves as successful becomes our new comfort zone, it makes it easier for us to step into it.
“For example… students…can’t become an ‘A’ student until they believe they can. Having the visualization and affirmations, in addition to the action they’re taking around tutoring, will support them in their success in achieving certain grades, if that’s what their goal is…”, says Renaye.
It comes down to energy. The energy of abundance and love is so much stronger than the energy of lack and fear.
