What You Say Is What You Are: Activity Guide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781953241566)

One negative word that affirms an inability, limited capacity, or low self-worth is enough to activate the amygdala in the brain. The amygdala is the area of the brain that reacts to perceived danger and pain. Stress hormones are released, making it difficult to think, impacting our performance. The groundbreaking, consistent, and practical tools housed with What You Say Is What You Are provide empirically proven strategies that will assist our young people in gaining self-awareness of the power of their words as well as support them through activities that will aid in increasing their sense of efficacy, value, and worth.

Dr. Small does an exceptional job of merging neuroscience, psychology, and educational strategies to develop a comprehensive tool that assists students of all ages and demographics.
