In yet another 10 year old child's case: his prompt was "a perfect evening". Sharing his visualization.
"I've been struggling to watch a particular angle of the moon for several days, got a picture uploaded it onto a forum that I've been following. I won a cash prize of $1000! Yayyyy!
When I told my dad in the evening, Dad and I decided to go for a celebratory walk (mom not joining...yay!!!). I saw a t-shirt at discount and bought it! Day was made!"
Facilitator: What was the perfect part S?
S: Of course, the cash prize and the new T-shirt! Duh!!!
F: In your visualization.
S is looking at external and materialistic things as making up a perfect evening and not seeing the satisfaction in his own effort of getting the snap of the moon or his evening spent in his dad's company.

In our overly materialistic world children struggle to see the value of effort and connection, and focus on winning and results instead. This fixation of results as a form of validation vs. the process and the connection gets children stuck with a form of fixed mindset where they find it hard to deal with failure and eventually don't pursue learning as a journey anymore.
The tool, visualization, helps children open up and share which reveals their current status with respect to locus of control and process vs. result orientation. It's through awareness and open communication that we can reach out and help children see the beauty of their own effort and human connection that is hidden right under their noses.
As we embark on the journey to impact more lives through our Young Achievers Academy we invite applications from the ones who are interested to create deep, meaningful impact in children.
