This is one of the greatest teachers of the child: the voice inside their head. When a young learner comes to a puzzle, a writing task or a new game, the manner in which such a learner talks to herself can either make or break her. One such transformative tool of resilience and independence building is teaching children the skill of positive self-talk, whereby they can narrate their attempts, deconstruct difficulties and motivate themselves. In Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready, this internal conversation is a natural result of our philosophy of education. Although Kinder Ready Tutoring offers professional academic support, we are more driven by the need to help the children with the mental and emotional resources, such as positive self-talk, which can enable a real passion to learn.

The practical use of a growth mindset is the creation of positive self-talk. It takes a child out of a sentence, such as this is too hard to plan: I will find all the corner pieces first. Then I am able to seek the blue ones out. This solution-solving attitude to problem-solving is one of the most important executive functions. This is actively developed by the Kinder Ready Elizabeth Fraley approach through the modelling and encouragement of process-based language. During our personal learning processes, teachers may read their minds aloud or even suggest a student by simply asking, What is the first thing you should do? The practice will assist children in internalising a positive internal monologue that is well-organised and can be used by the children even after the tutoring session is over.

The advantages of this competence are much more than the completion of the task. A child who can effectively apply self-talk to make it through a stressful situation feels significant confidence. They get to know that they possess the individual resources to cope with adversity. The Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready program is based on this self-efficacy. What we want to make children feel is confidence that is based on ability and not praise. Learning to use the language I can attempt, I will begin with this section, and it is all right to go wrong. Children create a personal guide that helps them to overcome the difficulties at school and in relationships where more confidence and assurance are necessary.

Moreover, positive self-talk also underpins the Kinder Ready Tutoring mission, which is to equip children with classroom and beyond. A student who is able to control his frustrations whenever trying a difficult worksheet or trying a group project is a student who will be active and willing to learn. This competency converts any possible shutdown situations into problem-solving situations. When we incorporate the use of positive self-talk into our holistic curriculum, we will guarantee that, besides being academically stable, children will also be emotionally stable. They also get to know how to become their own best coach and make the learning process more of a story of personal ability and development. This is the basic talent that should be strived to develop at an early age, and this will lead to a life of uncompromising exploration and success.
