Creative Conversations Explores Supporting Children To Realize Their True Potential
These twin sisters are a powerhouse in their mission and what they put out into the world!
We talked about so much but love the topic of as adults we get so stuck in the adulting and put off what we really want by using life events to put off what we really want to do.
When we grow up we tend to stop playing.. so here is the reminder that Jacqueline McGill and Lorna Davies and I had about finding joy in the everyday things.
Love the quote from Jacqueline saying " Don't wait till the dishes are done" & Lorna: " Change is Inevitable".
Lorna and Jac are twin sisters who have between them over 40 years’ experience working with children and their families. They share a passion for supporting all children to reach their fullest potential by harnessing their unique and special gifts. They have combined their knowledge, skills and expertise to create this special library of mindset books for parents and a coaching curriculum for teachers to share, so all children can be Wise for my Size.
Lorna is a children’s occupational therapist and life coach; she lives with her family and her dog in the west coast of Scotland. Through her work, and as a mother of two children, Lorna became aware of the importance of mindset when children face adversity and challenge; it’s the key ingredient to success. As an occupational therapist Lorna works with the medium of play and fun as the principal ‘occupation’ of childhood, and this led very naturally to developing a programme that uses stories, games and activities to teach valuable life skills to children and those young at heart.
Jac is a primary school teacher of twenty years and lives in Scotland with her family and mini Zoo! She has witnessed first-hand the impact that Mindset, both Growth and Fixed, can have. Through her teaching experience, she saw that some children just believe that certain lessons are just ‘not’ for them and they give up before they even begin.
By using growth mindset coaching techniques Jac is able to support children to realise their true potential, just by helping them change their mindset. Jac has always loved writing stories and she is passionate about supporting children build their mental strength through storytelling.
