A Living Wonder for Your Indoor Garden

The Sensitive Plant (Mimosa pudica) is a truly enchanting houseplant renowned for its interactive nature.

    Definitely A Must Read!
    Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
    Dr. Michele Borba’s latest book, Thrivers, is a must-read for every parent, grandparent, educator, or just anyone working with children. Dr. Borba speaks from the heart with years of research to back up every word. Wisdom oozes from every page of Thrivers. One of her quotes that really resonated with me was, “Character is what builds inner strength, genuineness, and wholeness and helps turn kids who strive for the next gold ring into young adults who thrive in a fast-paced, ever-changing world. When kids are missing character strengths like optimism, curiosity, empathy, and perseverance their development is incomplete.” Thrivers is filled with “Seven Teachable Skills That Set Happy, Healthy, High-Performing Kids Apart”. Thrivers shows us exactly how to instill these incredibly important missing character pieces in our children/students so they won’t be incomplete. This is crucial so they will be prepared for whatever they are faced with in the future. I want my students to be Thrivers! Dr. Borba’s book is just what we need! What an inspirational read!

    Fantastic book to validate and inspire parents!
    Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
    I just finished reading this with my book club and it is superb! Researched, practical, and written by a mother and educator with a wealth of experience. This is the mentor you wish lived in your neighborhood or taught at your school! One of the best parenting books I've read and I love growth and strengths mindset of this book. If you get a chance, listen to her on a podcast or video because she is a dynamic speaker and very inspiring!

    Spreading wisdom
    Format: Paperback
    Of course my kids delivered a disappointed ‘Thanks’ when opening the gift. I listened on audio and knew I couldn’t remember to pass on the interesting facts and ideas that I learned, so I bought the books as gifts. Some ideas are old and some are new. Overall a great read.

    Good enough, good points
    Format: Hardcover
    Definitely a book that makes a lot of good points. It's very repetitive though. And lots of it is common sense. If you want to learn why your children are overwhelmed, it definitely explains why

    ESSENTIAL for all parents and educators to read
    Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
    As an elementary educator for the last fifteen years, I finally found a book that put all the frustration and wondering of why kids come to school struggling, drained, and overwhelmed. Borba states, "We are creating strivers, not thinkers, produced to be test-takers while missing the opportunity to be people." She points out that we are all running on empty. In her book, she discusses the 7 core strengths that kids need in order to shine. Thrivers not only provides readers with current research, but it has practical and easy tips that both parents and educators can do to help foster a new generation of thrivers and not strivers. If you are worried about your children's mental health, depression, anxiety, and stress, you must read this book. This book comes at a time when we all must work together to move the pendulum of what achievement looks like in 2021 and reimagine education for our youth, tweens, teens, and young adults. Truly, this book has been life-changing.
