“Habits of Mind has increased my kids vocabulary. They are using bigger words
(ie: responsibility, enthusiasm, empathy, etc.) and understanding what these
words mean. Habits of Mind helps them to understand some of the things that
are expected of them in the classroom, on the playground, and at home. I also
appreciate how the staff at Queen E can use the concepts of ‘Habits of Mind’ to
help students who are having difficulty learning by realizing that there is more than
one way to approach any subject.”
“I think the ‘Habits of Mind’ put a foundation in place for future behavior. The
comprehension of the difficult vocabulary even carried through to the early
grades.”
“I like the idea of teaching skills that will be useful in so many different situations
that my kids will run into.”
“Habits of Mind is a great program. My son is more willing to try new things now
since learning about responsible risk taking.”
“During the month of March, Responsible Risk Taking, I noticed a big jump in selfesteem.
My daughter was willing to try all sorts of things and even discovered she
liked some of them.”
“Although my daughter has mentioned the ‘Habits of Mind’ a few times, I’m not
sure whether she fully understands some of them herself. I do, however, think that
this program is worth continuing with.
“I don’t find that my child uses any of these in his day to day life.”
