HKS accountability group july 9th

I have a break right now, but had phonecalls to answer and return and eat lunch as well.. busy busy.. but I am done at 16.00 today, so that is good.

Today is a special day, it is Tjeerds last day of elementary school (in the Netherlands you go to age 12 normally, Tjeerd is 11). Because they could not go on their camp, they are having a sleepover at school tonight and tomorrow morning his teachers will say farewell, he will start highschool after the summer holiday...

Throughout his schoolyears we worked on a growth mindset. I want to share some words from Carol Dweck, who has written a lot aboutvthe subject:

In a growth mindset, challenges are exciting rather than threatening. So rather than thinking oh, I'm going to reveal my weakness, you say, wow, there's a change to grow.
