When things got hard I gave up. Now, I keep going and ask for help when I need it - Grade 5 student talking about challenging work, 6 months into using TTYB.

Psychologist Prof Carol Dweck developed the concept of a Growth and Fixed Mindset and popularized in her book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. TTYB shows, teachers, parents and children what both mindsets look, feel and sound like, in common situations that happen every day.

TTYB teaches students how their thoughts and emotions control their behaviour, relationships and moods even without them knowing. With TTYB you will introduce your students to new language patterns and ideas that give them the tools to take control and actively choose how they want to feel in any situation
