In this short clip from a conversation about the impact of Covid-19 on the mental health of children and adolescents there are a couple of important points being made. The key words being brought up in this clip are fear, anxiety, isolation and then the protective issues such as social connectedness and pro-social behaviors or altruism. These are very important ideas that go to the heart of what we do at Success Institutes and our Growth Mindset Training Academy and Athlete Training Academy.
Our mindset training addresses every issue mentioned in those three minutes. It is vital to recognize that they indicate Covid made the situation worse. It was already a problem. It is high time we give it more attention.
Training mindsets is easy and difficult. The actual process of doing little things every day is not difficult. The little things include things like thinking about some important questions, reading a short article or watching a video, exercising, breathing, praying or practicing mindfulness and meditation. It can include doing a specific activity that may or may not be difficult depending on your particular comfort level.
The hard part of the training is doing it consistently, especially the initial breakthrough training that is attempting among other things to build the vital morning and evening rituals into the daily routine. That is the most challenging part for most people. The key to that working is accountability from someone close to you or a accountability partner or coach. We also offer a financial incentive. The bottom line is the individual has to be committed to change.
When talking about training teens, accountability becomes crucial. The teens that need it most don’t have those qualities we are trying to develop and are more likely to want to quit and not see it through. Lovingly providing the discipline, structure, and emotional support is the role of the parent or guardian.
It is crucial.
I strongly encourage parents to watch our free webinar to learn more. Ultimately, training the mindset of a champion arch is the goal. We offer significant discounts for those who commit to the entire curriculum and even have a generous benefactor who will consider providing scholarships for the truly needy.
The training curriculum begins with the crucial personal breakthrough training. That is followed by building mindsets of love, faith, faithfulness, family, friends, learning, well-being, and human spirit. It is long. It cannot not lead to changes in mindset when completed. Please, consider doing it with your teen or even for yourself. The issues with fear and anxiety are not just teen issues nor is part of the remedy – love and social connectedness.
Thoroughly check out Growth Mindset Training Academy and we urge you schedule a time where we can talk and discuss it in detail. While everyone can benefit, not everyone is suited for it, and we are very particular about who we will enroll. A conversation with us is just that, a conversation where we can learn about each other, the desired outcomes, and whether this will be a fit for you or not.
