The Number 1 mistake that parents of gifted childr The Number 1 mistake that parents of gifted children make is just assuming that their child will excel, no matter what. It's important for parents to recognize that giftedness alone does not guarantee success, and their child will still need support and guidance.⁠ ⁠ At AWS, we provide a unique environment where our guides have a finger on the pulse of every child's journey- academic, spiritual, emotional, physical. By partnering with our families, we aim to serve the highest potential inside each child. ⁠ ⁠ www.awakeningspiritschool.com⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #awakeningspiritschool #holisticeducation #mnholisticmoms #microschool #mnmicroschool #microschoolbuilders #holisticliving #holisticwellness #homeschoolcollaborative #holistichomeschoolsupport #homeschoolsupport #wellnessmom #authenticliving #joyfulmotherhood #womentrepreneur #woodburymommas #momsofstillwater #hudsonparents #hudsonwimoms ⁠ #giftedkidsmn #giftededucation #microschool #microschoolbuilders #awakeningspiritschool #raisinggiftedkids #highlysensitivechildren #giftedhsc #passionprojects #stillwatermnmoms #stillwatermn
Our Forest Wisdom Guide, Miss Danie, created this Our Forest Wisdom Guide, Miss Danie, created this beautiful glimpse into a ‘year in the life’ of our program- “The gratitude I hold in my heart towards these children, who have have been an unconditional source of joy + love 💚 It is my hope that they felt the grace to learn, the support to grow and seen as who they are. Thank you for allowing me to be apart of their world this year. ”. www.AwakeningSpiritSchool.com ##microschool #microschoolbuilders #forestschool #forestschoolteacherinstitute #awakeningspiritschool #getoutsideandplay #stillwatermn #crunchymamas #mnholisticmoms #homeschool
By focusing only on academic achievements with gif By focusing only on academic achievements with gifted kids, it can lead to an imbalanced development: Children need to develop a range of skills to be successful in life and make sure that career options are not limited. Focusing only on their strengths means neglecting other areas that also need attention, such as social skills, emotional regulation, or practical skills.⁠ ⁠ It can create a fixed mindset: If a child is only praised for their strengths, they may develop a fixed mindset that believes they are either "good" or "bad" at something, and this can limit their willingness to take risks and learn new things.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ www.awakeningspiritschool.com⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #awakeningspiritschool #holisticeducation #mnholisticmoms #microschool #mnmicroschool #microschoolbuilders #holisticliving #holisticwellness #homeschoolcollaborative #holistichomeschoolsupport #homeschoolsupport #wellnessmom #authenticliving #joyfulmotherhood #womentrepreneur #woodburymommas #momsofstillwater #hudsonparents #hudsonwimoms ⁠ #giftedkidsmn #giftededucation #raisinggiftedkids #highlysensitivechildren #giftedhsc #passionprojects #stillwatermnmoms #stillwatermn

Our ‘all-inclusive’ membership covers all inst Our ‘all-inclusive’ membership covers all instructional costs, all field trips (for students and one adult from each family), passion project materials and FOOD! We serve two healthy snacks a day (with whole-food options) as well as have our students plan, prepare and serve lunch to their peers. While we can’t always source organic-only ingredients, we do use grass fed beef as well as our own eggs and in-season veggies when available! Life is about balance, so a few times a year we’ll make s’mores over the campfire, or enjoy someone’s birthday cupcakes for a treat, but we try to keep refined sugar intake at a minimum. #microschool #microschoolbuilders #awakeningspiritschool #nutritionforkids #holisticmom #homeschoolcollective #stillwatermn
If you're in the mood for a little denser read, th If you're in the mood for a little denser read, there is an absolutely wonderful article from The ERIC Clearinghouse on Disabilities and Gifted Education (ERIC EC)- it compiles lists of reasons WHY seemingly gifted students 'underachieve'.⁠ ⁠ https://www.hoagiesgifted.org/eric/archived/e478.html⁠ ⁠ I've taken the 'best thoughts' (in my opinion) from this article and created a series of 'reminders' for homeschooling parents, guides and teachers who work closely with gifted children.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #awakeningspiritschool #holisticeducation #mnholisticmoms #microschool #mnmicroschool #microschoolbuilders #holisticliving #holisticwellness #homeschoolcollaborative #holistichomeschoolsupport #homeschoolsupport #wellnessmom #authenticliving #joyfulmotherhood #womentrepreneur #woodburymommas #momsofstillwater #hudsonparents #hudsonwimoms ⁠ #giftedkidsmn #giftededucation l #raisinggiftedkids #highlysensitivechildren #giftedhsc #passionprojects #stillwatermnmoms #stillwatermn
