Power of Post-It Notes

Your kids' brains are working against them—and so is yours.

Here's why: We all have something called negativity bias. Our brains are designed to spot problems and remember mistakes because that survival mechanism kept our ancestors alive.

The Power of Post-It Notes technique trains the brain to notice wins, not just losses. It's simple, research-backed, and uses supplies you likely already have.
