The next time your child gets a "B" on an ELA test that they studied hard for or learns a new word in spanish congratulate them and give them a treat...it doesn't have to be big and will mean more to them than you may think.

Children are perceptive. What we think about a child is demonstrated by the way we talk to and treat them. This is no mystery. At Mindworks we see your child as smart, so we speak to and treat them as such.
