In our class we say...

• "Mistakes help me learn" instead of "I messed up". 

• "I will try a new strategy" instead of "I give up". 

• "I don't know... yet" instead of "I don't know". 

• "I will learn from them" instead of "I'll never be as smart as them".

• "This may take some time and effort" instead of "This is hard." 

• "I'm going to train my brain" instead of "I can't do this". 

• "What am I missing" instead of "I'm not good at this".
