WHY FLIP?
Listen to Why FLIP! Audio
The best way for your kids to learn success skills is to do something kids are motivated to do. No matter what their interests, passions or ideas are, they are full of opportunity for kids to learn entrepreneurship, growth mindset and project management skills through reading activities, writing prompts and growth tools.
Think back to your own childhood. Certainly, you had something you really wanted to do. But you ran into challenges you had to work through. As opposed to something you didn't want to do or have been told to do, you kept at it. As a result, you picked up some skills you could apply to your next big idea. Or, even to a chore or homework assignment you were struggling with.
FLIP! is a kind of "practice field" for important success skills you'll need for greater success in all areas of life. Not just the areas you really enjoy. As adult, parent, teacher, leader you've learned you don't always hit a home run or take first place. You've noticed you're missing a few skills that could improve your game.
Making the connection between your kids "flipping" a silly or ever sensible interest, passion, or idea into something real and acquiring basic success skills may not seem obvious. What does building an underground fort in the backyard, selling lemonade on the corner, helping homeless animals, becoming a brain surgeon or flying to the moon have to with you raising great kids who grow up great?
The answer is EVERYTHING. Here's a short list for Why FLIP?
- Learning the steps to accomplish things is always useful.
- Growing your capacity to improve starts at an early age.
- Planning and organization are invaluable life skills
What we learn as a child is the foundation for a full life. FLIP! gives you a point of engagement for mutual learning and great conversations. Whatever your kids learn and apply as they read, write, and grow a FLIP! are the same skills you would want them to apply to chores, homework, growing up, school activities, job, and career choices.
Let your kids equip themselves with 32 Success Skills on their terms. Their FLIP! stems from their interests, passion, and ideas. It doesn't have to last a lifetime; a moment will do. Ever skill they learn has real world application.
FLIP! allows your kids to learn and apply "grown up" entrepreneurship, growth mindset and project management skills using reading activities, writing prompts and growth tools that equip them for success in all areas of living and for all stages of life.
