It’s humbling to be part of a community where…

“I feel like I’ve forgotten how to learn over the summer.”
Your brain is like a muscle that went on a long nap at the beach! It’s not that the knowledge is gone; it’s just tucked away in a dusty “filing cabinet”. To get it back, you don’t need to shout at the cabinet; you just need to gently turn the key and look at one…

Everything is different at this new school, and I hate it
Imagine you are a superhero who is only used to fighting one kind of bad guy. When you move to a new city, the bad guys look different, and the buildings are new! But remember, you still have your “magic belt” full of tools. Change is just a new game level, and you already have…

I never have enough time

I’m terrified of making a mistake
Some superhero are afraid to wear a cape because they saw another one tripping on his while everyone was watching! Even superheroes trip sometimes, and that’s okay—it just shows they are real people.

“I’m exhausted even when I sleep for 10 hours.”
Have you ever had that electrical device with old, sticky batteries? Even if you leave it plugged in all night, it still won’t zoom in the morning! Your body is like that appliance.

“I can’t seem to focus on anything for more than five minutes.”
Your brain is like a puppy in a toy store. There are so many balls and bones to play with that the puppy just runs in circles! To help the puppy sit still, you have to give it one special toy to focus on and tell it “good job” every time it stays still for…

I have to be perfect, or it is not worth
Imagine you are painting a beautiful picture. If you make one little wiggly line, do you throw the whole paper away? No! The wiggly line just makes the picture special.

I am so angry all the time and I do not know why
You have a tiny volcano inside you. Sometimes it gets hot because someone shook your values, but sometimes it pops because you’re tired or sad and don’t know how to say it. To keep the volcano from exploding, you have to learn to talk to the “lava” and tell it to turn into cool, bubbly…

I know what I need to do, but I just cannot get started
Your brain is like a giant steam train. It takes a lot of wood and fire to get the wheels turning for the first time! Once the train is moving, it’s easy to keep going. But if you’re just standing still, you might feel like the train is “too heavy” to move. You just need…

Everyone is judging me, I do not fit in
Imagine everyone is carrying a mirror.

I have lost my spark

The harder I try to quit a bad habit, the more I want to do it!
When you are playing tug-of-war against a giant. The harder you pull on the rope (your “will power”), the harder the giant (your “imagination”) pulls back!

I feel inferior because I’m not as successful or fast as other people.
Growing up isn’t a race! Some flowers bloom in the morning, and some bloom at night. If you have been told differently, it is most likely for someone else’s benefit. It is also very short sighted. You are like a little garden. Every time you choose to be kind to yourself or learn something new,…

Anxiety when things change in my life
If you only ever ate plain pasta, you’d forget how delicious carrots or litchis can be!. Your brain does the same thing—if you only do the same easy things, you forget how to learn. When a new puzzle comes along, you might feel scared. But if you try just one new piece every day, you…

Constant fatigue and lack of motivation, even when not physically working hard.”
Your brain is like a toy car engine. If you never clean the dust out or give it new batteries, it gets slow and grumpy. Sometimes your body wants to be “energy efficient,” which is just a fancy way of saying it wants to take a nap forever!. To keep your toy car zooming, you…

“and my life is out of my control it is as if my future is already decided.”
Some people think life is like a train track that only goes one way. But it’s actually like a big box of Lego!. You don’t have to build what the box shows you. You can take the pieces apart and build a castle, a spaceship, or a race car whenever you want!. You get to…
