This is from the book The Yes Brain: How to Cultivate, Curiosity, and Resilience in Your Child. It is so important to put emphasis on internal goals in children. Internal goals cannot be measured like external goals and society pushes it as if it is more valuable. There is definitely value in external goals, however when it is pushed more than internal, there is a risk of a child being anxious to be right and unequipped with the internal skills to handle life despite their external accomplishments. Also, it shuts down the curiosity of exploring, creativity, and taking risks. #theyesbrain #books #bookstagrammer #book #internalgoals #externalgoals #goals #empathy #resilence #insight #balance #emotionalintelligence https://www.instagram.com/p/CHVbLRup8aX/?igshid=1qokr6tqy40km
