๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐: REALIZE
2 weeks ago, we set out on a quest in search of the key to becoming great leaders, and we solved the mystery. The first letter from each of the daily habits spells out โFACTORโ- Fearless, Adapt, Care, Talk โem up, Original, and Realize. Today is when we REALIZE that we have all the traits necessary to become the โX-FACTORโ and change the world!
๐๐ ๐ต๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ: The Apex leadership lessons finished today and discovered what it means to be the โX-FACTORโ. Awesome job! How can you apply what youโve learned at home and school to keep being a great leader all year long?

๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐: ORIGINAL
To be original means youโre the first version! It means you are one of a kind! There is only one YOU, and what you bring to the world matters!
๐๐ ๐ต๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ: Help your child think of 5 things that are special or unique about them. What makes them who they are?

๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐: TALK โEM UP
When we talk positively about ourselves it can give us the strength to keep going, the strength to overcome challenges we face. Encouraging others and highlighting their strengths can also bring out the best in them!
๐๐ ๐ต๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ: Ask your child how it feels when someone pays them a compliment or says something encouraging. Talk about ways that they can also make others feel good about themselves. Discuss words and phrases that can turn negative thoughts around, like instead of saying โI canโt do that,โ say โI canโt do that, YET.โ Rather than focusing on being smart or good at something, change the focus to how hard they tried or how much they have improved.

๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐: ADAPT
To adapt means we are able to adjust to different situations, especially when theyโre out of our control!
๐๐ ๐ต๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ: Talk with your child about a situation they have gone through that required they adapt or change their behaviors or expectations. Do they sometimes struggle with new experiences? What are some things that will help them adjust and feel more comfortable?

Our first Apex leadership habit is FEARLESS.
Being fearless means weโre willing to push ourselves outside of our comfort zone. It means weโre willing to take the first step into the unknown, even if we fail!
๐๐ ๐ต๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ: Ask your child if they have ever been afraid to try something new because they thought they wouldnโt be able to do it well. Talk to them about ways to break down a big challenge into smaller pieces so it is easier to overcome.
