We learned that how we hold our body impacts not only how others feel about us, it affects how we feel about ourselves. We learned that when we sit up straight and stand tall, we are more confident, and therefore, more successful! We understand that we don't have to "fake it 'til we make it", we can "fake it 'til we BECOME it"! We can become the person we want to be! We learned that small changes in how we hold our bodies can have a huge impact on our lives! We also do Power Poses before EVERY test and anytime we need to feel more brave and confident!
We talked about Amy Cuddy's experiences and experiments, and watched parts of her TED Talk. I encourage you to watch the video to learn about Amy Cuddy's incredible work. It will also help you support yourself and your fourth grader in being more confident when faced with challenges.Because it is a long video and discusses things like gambling as examples, we skipped parts & talked about her experiences and learning. If you watch the video with your child, after a discussion we started the video at 10:18:
Your body language may shape who you are | Amy Cuddy | TED
Then stopped at 11:07 and continued our discussion.
After that, we watched again from 15:38 to the end:
