Description

This week in The Imagine Neighborhood™, Scotty and Macho Supreme are taking on a dangerous creature: the Toucan’t! I’m sure you’ve heard of toucans before, but what about the dastardly Toucan’t?Have you ever had a voice in your head telling you that you’re no good at something? Maybe you’re trying something new or doing something really hard? A Toucan’t is that voice in your head telling you that you’ll never get it. But never fear! Macho and Scotty find a great way to shut that Toucan’t down—and so can you.In this episode, we’re reviewing the concept of a growth mindset: the idea that your brain gets smarter and stronger the more you practice new skills. If you get stuck learning something new, that’s okay! Take a few deep breaths and try again when you feel ready. Even if it’s still challenging, you can always remind yourself that you’ll get it SOMEDAY!If you want to keep the discussion going after each episode of The Imagine Neighborhood, sign up for the weekly newsletter. Each newsletter will include additional discussion questions for kids and grown-ups, as well as some activities. We’d love to see your drawings and reflections—and you could be featured on our Infinite Refrigerator!
