“Miss Takes” …<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"images-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No I don\u2019t need spell check…I\u2019ve purposely spelled \u201cmiss take\u201d like this!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I invite you to think of making miss takes like how movie producers view a \u201cmiss take\u201d when they are making a movie. The whole movie isn\u2019t thrown out because someone makes a \u201cmiss take\u201d, they just re-do it. Imagine if like was like that. If you could re-set your mind after a miss take is made, learn from it and move on as quickly as they do in the movies!<\/strong><\/p>\n

When a baby is learning to walk, we applaud their \u201cmiss takes\u201d. We encourage them to try again. We clap when they fall. We praise their ability to use aids that assist them. We give them tools to help them.\u00a0We pick them up when they fail.\u00a0It’s like we are shooting a movie and the final take is when the child is walking. If we didn\u2019t learn to walk until adult hood, how many adults would still be crawling?\u00a0<\/strong>Visualize this in your head the next time your child makes a miss take:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"baby<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Why not help our kids think this with school?! Encourage them to make miss takes, embrace all their marks on their report cards and teach them that they are perfect at being them!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even when the\u2019ve got an \u201cF\u201d in math…yes I said even with an \u201cF\u201d in math! Let\u2019s look at math as something that needs to be continuously learned; therefore, it\u2019s not over until the end of the school year, the end of elementary school, and\/or the end of high school.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"bad-grades-ok\"<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s applaud “miss takes” because it means the person is showing up. Let\u2019s encourage them to get up and continue to do their best. Let’s clap when they get something wrong because then we can understand what they aren\u2019t getting. Let\u2019s give them learning tools to help them be successful.\u00a0Let\u2019s pick them up when they fail just like you did when they were learning to walk!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It breaks our heart at\u00a0Tutoring…With A Twist*\u00a0<\/em>when we have a learner sitting in front of us that is there because of a \u201cbad\u201d mark and is subsequently being defining by that \u201cbad\u201d mark and seen as a failure. We ask for a vision of what the learner, their parents and their school would like to see at the end of their time working with us. This vision then becomes the end movie we are making. Along the way, we are going to have several takes to get there. During those takes, we give the learner encouragement, praise, applause, tools and the ability to pick themselves up when they fail again!<\/strong><\/p>\n
