3. At what age does the ‘cuteness’ wear off?
Parents (and teachers).... (pretty much ALL adults) start to have higher expectations of you as you get older.
By middle school, the cuteness has DEFINITELY worn off!

4. Internal vs. External “locus of control”
What does that mean?
What does internal mean? What does external mean?
Locus of control means ‘who’s in control of what happens?’
An external locus of control means it’s out of our hands.
An internal locus of control means we take responsibility and OWN IT!

5. Blaming others… External locus of control...
It's all YOUR fault...

6. Another example….
(getting pulled over)

7. Discussion questions...
See sheet….. and discuss
OWNing it!
